Top Commanders News

  • Commanders' Sam Cosmi: Good to go against NYG

    Cosmi (concussion/throat) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Cosmi has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will return from a one-game absence. He'll provide depth on the Commanders' offensive line.

  • Commanders' Tyler Owens: Won't play in Week 5

    Owens (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    A hamstring injury prevented Owens from practicing all week, and his next chance to play is Week 6 against the 49ers on Monday, Oct. 19. Given that Owens, Nick Cross (illness) and Percy Butler (hamstring) have all been ruled out, the only healthy safeties on the Commanders' roster are Jeremy Reaves and Quan Martin.

  • Commanders' Charles Omenihu: Ruled out for Week 5

    Omenihu (groin/ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Omenihu couldn't practice all week due to groin and ankle injuries, which he picked up against the Colts in Week 4. Shy Tuttle will be the Commanders' top reserve option at defensive end behind Tim Settle and Javon Kinlaw in the absence of Omenihu, whose next chance to play is Week 6 against the 49ers on Monday, Oct. 19.

  • Commanders' Percy Butler: Won't play against NYG

    Butler (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Butler was unable to practice all week due to a hamstring injury, which he likely picked up during the Commanders' Week 4 loss to the Colts in London. Nick Cross (illness) and Tyler Owens (hamstring) have also been ruled out, leaving Jeremy Reaves and Quan Martin as the lone healthy safeties on the Commanders' 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's NFC East tilt.

  • Commanders' Trey Amos: Questionable to return from IR

    Amos (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    The Commanders opened Amos' 21-day practice window ahead of Wednesday's session. The cornerback was a limited participant in all three practices as he works back from his ankle injury. There is a chance the 24-year-old could return to the active roster for the Week 5 matchup with the Giants, but it would not be surprising if the team held off on returning Amos to the active roster until at least Week 6.

  • Commanders' Nick Cross: Ruled out for Sunday

    Cross (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Cross was a full participant in Wednesday's practice but downgraded to limited for the Thursday and Friday sessions. The safety appears to have contracted a significant illness and will be unable to suit up for Sunday's game. Quan Martin is the sole active safety for Week 5 outside of starting free safety Jeremy Reaves.

  • Commanders' Frankie Luvu: Ready for Sunday

    Luvu (groin) does not have any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Luvu upgraded to a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited in the first two sessions of Week 5 prep. The linebacker is all set to suit up for Sunday's game and is likely in better shape than when he took the field in Week 4 against the Colts while battling through the groin issue.

  • Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Questionable for Sunday

    McNichols (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    The Commanders opened McNichols' 21-day practice window to return from IR on Wednesday. The running back logged limited practice throughout Week 5 prep and remains questionable for Sunday's game. The team still has over two weeks to ramp up the 30-year-old's practice participation before it must make a decision about his status for the remainder of the 2026 season.

  • Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Seemingly game-time decision for Week 5

    McLaurin (hamstring), who is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, will be a game-time decision, as Jeremy Fowler of ESPN highlighted Friday in a Week 5 injury update on SportsCenter.

    McLaurin returned to a limited practice Friday, and he was given a tag of questionable heading into the weekend. The star wideout didn't play last Sunday against Indianapolis in London, but Fowler relays that the Commanders "are hoping to have" him available in Week 5. Stefon Diggs (hamstring) has already been ruled for Sunday, so getting McLaurin back on the field would be a big boost to Washington's passing game, which is slated to be led by Jayden Daniels for the first time since Week 2.

  • Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Won't suit up for Week 5

    Mariota (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Mariota was held out of practice all week while recovering from a right knee injury that he aggravated against the Colts in Week 4. The good news for the Commanders is that Jayden Daniels (left elbow) has been cleared to return for Week 5, and with Mariota sidelined, rookie seventh-rounder Athan Kaliakmanis will operate as the backup QB behind Daniels. The next opportunity for Mariota to return is Week 6 against the 49ers on Monday, Oct. 19.

  • Commanders' Rachaad White: Officially cleared for Week 5

    White (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

    A shoulder injury prevented White from playing against the Colts in Week 4, but the fifth-year running back has been cleared to return for Week 5 after logging three consecutive limited practices. Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) has also been cleared to play Sunday, so White and Austin Ekeler both figure to operate in rotational roles out of the backfield.

  • Commanders' Chig Okonkwo: Fades injury tag for Week 5

    Okonkwo (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Okonkwo logged a full practice Friday, which was enough for the fifth-year tight end to avoid an injury tag for Sunday's NFC East showdown. Veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 5 while Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is listed as questionable, so Okonkwo's scoring floor could be further heightened if McLaurin is unable to suit up, especially with Jayden Daniels (left elbow) back under center.

  • Commanders' Jacory Croskey-Merritt: Clear for Week 5

    Croskey-Merritt (groin) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Giants, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    Croskey-Merritt followed up back-to-back limited sessions to kick off Week 5 prep with a full practice Friday, and his lack of injury tag indicates he's good to play through his groin injury. Meanwhile, Rachaad White (shoulder) also has been cleared to return after sitting out Week 4, so Croskey-Merritt will have a bit more competition for backfield reps. Austin Ekeler also is on hand for any touches that linger.

  • Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Questionable for Week 5

    McLaurin (hamstring) was limited at Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    McLaurin was a late addition to Washington's Week 4 injury report due to a hamstring issue and ended up being inactive this past Sunday versus the Colts in London. While he "pushed to play," as head coach Dan Quinn told Tashan Reed of The Washington Post afterward, McLaurin wasn't able to practice in any capacity before his return to drills Friday. At that point, Quinn relayed to Selby that McLaurin "looked good," but the veteran wide receiver's status won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If McLaurin is able to suit up, he likely will operate as the No. 1 WR for QB Jayden Daniels with position mate Stefon Diggs (hamstring) ruled out.

  • Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Trending upward for Week 5

    Head coach Dan Quinn said McLaurin (hamstring) looked good in his return to practice Friday, but his status remains in question for Sunday's game against the Giants, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    After missing last Sunday's game and logging practice absences Wednesday and Thursday, McLaurin appears to have a chance to return for a divisional bout with New York. Washington will make an official injury designation for McLaurin later Friday. The Commanders could really use their No. 1 receiver after Stefon Diggs was ruled out for Week 5 with a hamstring injury of his own. Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks and Dyami Brown will all be in line for increased roles on offense Sunday.

  • Commanders' Stefon Diggs: Won't play Sunday

    Diggs (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Giants, Tashan Reed reports after Commanders coach Dan Quinn provided injury updates Friday.

    After missing practice time earlier in the week, Diggs has now been ruled out for Week 5. Terry McLaurin, on the other hand, is expected to play through a hamstring injury, though Quinn wasn't quite ready to guarantee it Friday afternoon. With Diggs definitely out, there will be extra WR snaps available for some combination of Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks and Dyami Brown.

  • Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Will start Sunday

    Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Friday that Daniels (elbow) will start Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Daniels was injured just before halftime in Week 2 against the Cowboys and will return following a two-game absence. With Marcus Mariota dealing with a sprained MCL, Daniels' return comes at the right time for the Commanders. His insertion back under center will boost the entire offense, though Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is questionable and Stefon Diggs (hamstring) has been ruled out, downgrading Daniels' supporting cast in a big way.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Commanders' Rachaad White: Good to go for Week 5

    Head coach Dan Quinn said Friday that White (shoulder) will play Sunday against the Giants, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

    After missing last Sunday's game with the shoulder issue, White now appears set to return to Washington's backfield as the pass-catching complement to Jacory Croskey-Merritt. White's return will likely mute Austin Ekeler's role, though this could turn into a three-man backfield, leaving none of the trio as enticing fantasy options. White has produced 151 yards on 31 touches this season.

  • Commanders' Stefon Diggs: Not seen Friday morning

    Diggs (hamstring) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, Tashan Reed reports.

    With Diggs having already missed Thursday's practice, his continued absence leaves his status for Sunday's game against the Giants in question. Teammate Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is also uncertain, though he's reportedly present for the start of practice Friday.
