The Washington Commanders released their final injury report for today’s game yesterday and then made two more roster moves. DT Ricky Barber and WR River Cracraft were elevated for the second week in a row.
Barber made a big impression last week, and gets another chance to earn a spot on next season’s roster. Washington is showing some confidence in the rookie, and Daron Payne being back, to finally put Sheldon Day on the inactive list. Cracraft only played one snap one special teams, a punt return for 0 yards.
The Commanders injury woes didn’t end in Week 18. Center Tyler Biadasz was placed on injured reserve earlier in the week. He suffered ankle and knee injuries during te Christmas day game against the Cowboys, but won’t require surgery. Julian Good-Jones was signed from the practice squad for depth. Chris Paul was added to the injury report this morning with an illness and was listed as questionable. He’s active today added should start.
The Commanders ruled out three players yesterday. LT Laremy Tunsil is missing his third straight game due to an oblique injury, and Brandon Coleman will get another start. Jayden Daniels waa already shut down for the season, and Marcus Mariota is missing his second game due to hand and quad injuries.
