Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Managing knee injury, uncertain to return
Rotowire
The Commanders list Mariota as questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts in London due to a knee injury.
Mariota appeared to injure his right knee when he was sacked with 7:05 remaining in the first quarter. As Tashan Reed of The Washington Post notes, Mariota dealt with an MCL sprain in the same knee during the preseason, but it's unclear at this point whether he's dealing with any sort of related setback. With Jayden Daniels (elbow) inactive for a second straight game, the Commanders would be left with Athan Kaliakmanis as their lone healthy quarterback if Mariota is unable to continue. Reserve tight end Colson Yankoff would be an emergency option at quarterback for Washington if Kaliakmanis also departs with an injury at any point, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic.

Rotowire
Mariota sustained an undisclosed injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Colts in London and headed to the locker room for further evaluation, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Making a second straight start in place of Jayden Daniels (elbow), Mariota completed three of four pass attempts for 46 yards and ran once for a 35-yard gain before he appeared to get hurt on a third-down sack with 7:05 remaining in the quarter. Athan Kaliakmanis came on to replace Mariota under center on the Commanders' next possession.

Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Inactive for Week 4
Rotowire
McCaffrey (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts in London.
McCaffrey suited up for the first time all season in the Commanders' Week 3 win over the Seahawks, but his playing time was contained to special teams. Even with top wideout Terry McLaurin (hamstring) sitting out Sunday, McCaffrey won't be called upon to provide depth at receiver. Washington will go with Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks, Dyami Brown and Jaylin Lane as its available options at the position.

Commanders' Percy Butler: Ready to go for London game
Rotowire
Butler (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts in London.
Butler entered concussion protocol following the Commanders' Week 3 win over the Seahawks but ended up making quick progress through the five-step protocol. After opening Week 4 prep as a non-participant, Butler turned in full practices Thursday and Friday and apparently received clearance from an independent neurologist at some point shortly thereafter. He'll be available to serve in a depth role in the secondary but is likely to see most of his snaps on special teams.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Sitting out London game
Rotowire
McLaurin (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts in London.
McLaurin was added to the Week 4 injury report Friday, taking a questionable tag into the weekend after the hamstring issue resulted in him being limited in the Commanders' final practice. Though the Commanders were initially hopeful that the wideout would be able to play through the injury Sunday, the team ultimately erred on the side of caution and opted to hold McLaurin out for the first time all season. With McLaurin sidelined, the Commanders will be left with Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks and Dyami Brown as their main options at receiver.
The Commanders elevated Reynolds from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
It will be Reynolds' first elevation to the active roster this season, and he'll provide the Commanders with backfield depth for Sunday's game in London in the absence of Rachaad White (shoulder). Reynolds spent the last five years with the Lions before joining the Commanders in mid-August, though he was unable to crack the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.
Commanders' Antonio Williams: Chance to be WR2 in London
Rotowire
Williams and Stefon Diggs are both in line for larger roles against the Colts on Sunday in London, with Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reporting that Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is now expected to be ruled out.
McLaurin was tagged as questionable for Sunday's game after appearing to injure his hamstring during Friday's practice. He has yet to be ruled out for Week 4, but in the event that he cannot play, both Williams and Diggs would be Marcus Mariota's top targets in the passing game, with Dyami Brown, Treylon Burks and tight end Chig Okonkwo also in the mix. Williams has a 9-103-1 receiving line on 11 targets through the first three games of his NFL career.

Commanders' Stefon Diggs: Could have bigger role in London
Rotowire
Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reports that Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Colts in London, which would leave Diggs as the top wide receiver for the Commanders.
McLaurin drew the questionable tag for Week 4 after sustaining a hamstring injury during Friday's practice. His status for Sunday's International game has yet to be confirmed, but in the event that McLaurin is indeed ruled out, Diggs and rookie Antonio Williams would be in line for larger roles against Indianapolis. Diggs has caught four passes or more in each of the first three games of the regular season and has a 13-135-3 receiving line on 22 targets.
