Injury updates
The Washington Commanders had their second practice today, but it was their first full one after yesterday’s walkthrough. Monday’s injury report was an estimation based on that walkthrough, and nothing changed today. Dan Quinn spoke earlier today and gave some injury updates before today’s practice:
Brian Robinson Jr. and Cornelius Lucas have both missed the last two games, and they’ll both practice today. Lucas hasn’t practiced since injuring his ankle almost two weeks ago, so this is progress for the veteran tackle. Robinson has been limited in practice, but held out of the last two games with...

Washington dips after a close loss
The Washington Commanders hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers, and a few thousand of their closest fans, for a slugfest on Sunday. Washington lost 28-27 in a game they were leading 24-14. Mistakes were all over the field, in all phases of the game, and ultimately sealed the loss with Johnny Newton easily getting drawn offsides on a 4th and 1 play with 1:02 left in the game. This loss dropped them to 7-3, and the Philadelphia Eagles easy win over the Dallas Cowboys gave them a half-game lead in the NFC East.
Washington now prepares...
