The Washington Commanders are getting back into their weekly grind after their Week 7 bye. The team is 1-4-1 and preparing to host the Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch from Week 1. Dan Quinn spoke to reporters before the players hit the practice fields in Ashburn, VA, and provided some updates. The Commanders announced several moves before practice started, including Terry McLaurin to IR and Van Jefferson getting signed from the practice squad to add another wide receiver.
Quinn was asked about several
injured players including Bill Croskey-Merritt(no update). DT Javon Kinlaw suffered a knee injury before the bye in San Francisco, and it doesn’t sound like it’s likely he’ll be available for Sunday’s home game against the Eagles. Washington got some better DL news with the pending return of Jer’Zhan Newton who had his 21-day practice window opened this morning. WR Stefon Diggs won’t practice today, and Quinn said early-week vet rest days will likely be the plan for him for the remainder of the season to keep him fresh.
