The Washington Commanders are back from their bye week, and should also be getting some players back from injury. They held their first full practice today, and now have a better idea of who will be available
for Sunday night’s home game against the Denver Broncos. QB Jayden Daniels returned to practice without a brace on his dislocated left elbow and a non-contact jersey. Head coach Dan Quinn said it’s unlikely Daniels will play vs the Broncos, but they are preparing him for when he is medically cleared. He was limited for his first practice back with the team.
WRs Terry McLaurin (quad) and Noah Brown(knee/groin) were also limited today, but could both be back on the field together for the first time since Week 2. Brown is still on injured reserve, and had his 21-day practice window opened on Monday. McLaurin has been dealing with the quad injury since Week 3, and it has cost him seven games so far this season. He attempted a return in Week 8, but aggravated the injury, and has missed the last three games. Both players were getting work in today, and McLaurin sounds like he’s ready to return this week.
Washington has two other WRs who were limited today. Treylon Burks had a good debut for the Commanders, but he told reporters that his finger got stuck in a Lions CB’s helmet and “broke in half” which led to surgery. Rookie Jaylin Lane suffered a hip injury vs the Dolphins that kept him out of the game. LB Frankie Luvu was the only other limited player, and he’s been dealing with a shoulder injury since the Lions game.
TE Ben Sinnott missed the game in Spain due to an ankle injury he suffered during practice. He was a full participant today, and should be on track to return on Sunday. S Will Harris (fibula) and DE Drake Jackson (patellar tendon) had their 21-day practice windows opened to return from IR two weeks ago, and they were full go today. Harris is expected to return for the Broncos game, but Jackson could get another week to get activated from IR.
LB Ale Kaho didn’t travel to Spain after suffering a concussion on a kickoff in Week 11. He’s still listed with a concussion, but he was a full participant in practice.
