Injury updates for Week 18
The Washington Commanders held their third, and final practice of the week, and their last full practice of the season.. The team is preparing to travel to Philadelphia on Sunday to face the Eagles. Dan Quinn said QB Marcus Mariota was doubtful due to the quad injury and he’s now done for the season. Josh Johnson steps in for the second week and he’ll have Jeff Driskel and Sam Hartman to back him up. Jayden Daniels was already ruled out for the final three games of the season, but wasn’t placed on injured reserve so he could continue to practice with the team.
Laremy Tunsil was also ruled out due to the oblique injury that kept him inactive for the last two games. Brandon Coleman has filled in at LT, but he was added to yesterday’s injury list with a knee injury, and he’s listed as questionable for the game. Washington has Trent Scott and George Fant available if Coleman can’t play, or has to leave the game. Andrew Wylie is also a tackle option, but he’s already filling in at right guard for Sam Cosmi.
Two players missed a practice this week due to illness, but they were both full participants in practice today. Bill Croskey-Merritt was out on Wednesday, and WR Treylon Burks caught the bug yesterday. Last week it was Chris Rodriguez Jr. was added to the injury list on Christmas morning, and didn’t play vs the Cowboys.
Daron Payne (back) and LB Nick Bellore (concussion) both missed the Cowboys game, but were full participants all week. They should both be good to go for the season finale.
