Commanders vs. Rams Wednesday injury report: Treylon Burks held out
Washington faces a crunch ahead of Thursday’s clash with the Rams as wide receiver Treylon Burks sits out with a foot injury, the only player absent from Wednesday’s practice. With Terry McLaurin out for the season, Burks was the logical replacement in the X slot, and his loss forces Dyami Brown into an unfamiliar role. Additionally, the Commanders dealt with limited participation from TE John Bates (shoulder), guard Sam Cosmi (knee) and DL Shy Tuttle (shoulder). Meanwhile, Stefon Diggs rested, and starter QB Jayden Daniels remains sidelined from a week‑2 elbow dislocation. The injury tally could shape Washington’s offense against L.A. on Nov. 5.
Dan Quinn: None of the moments were too big for rookies Antonio Williams, Sonny Styles
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn addresses a slew of injury setbacks ahead of their Week 9 home game against the 4‑4 Los Angeles Rams. Starting defensive tackles Javon Kinlaw (knee) and Daron Payne (foot) undergo season‑ending surgeries, while the team adds DT Ricky Barber from the practice squad and promotes Daniel Ekuale. Quinn praises rookie wideout Antonio Williams, who led the team in snaps versus the Eagles, and first‑round linebacker Sonny Styles for handling big moments. He also notes the progress of rookie LB Josh Conerly and the pending activation of Jer’Zhan Newton after a 21‑day practice window. The upcoming Rams matchup will influence the rest of the season and next week’s trade deadline.
Commanders: Are Burks & Williams Washington’s receivers of the future?
Mark Bullock breaks down the Commanders' pass rush surge against the Eagles, highlighting a season‑high 46.5% pressure rate and a blitz pressure rate of 83.3% – the second‑best in the league. He praises Chaisson’s speed off the snap, Omenihu’s interior dominance, and Odafe Oweh’s eventual success against left tackle Terron Mailata, while questioning the sustainability of the performance given the Eagles’ weak front line. Bullock notes the unit still relies heavily on blitzes and four‑man rushes to generate pressure.
Washington Commanders injury update: Javon Kinlaw out for the season
The Washington Commanders lose defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw to season‑ending MCL surgery, announced by Adam Schefter on November 4, 2026. Kinlaw joins Daron Payne, who is also out after a foot fracture, leaving the line seriously depleted. Coach Dan Quinn had hinted at Kinlaw's injury, but the full-season loss is a major setback, especially as he has a $16.9 million contract for 2027 with a $9.9 million dead‑cap hit if cut. The spotlight now shifts to Charles Omenihu, who posted four tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery in the recent win over the Eagles.

Commanders roster moves: Washington claims Robert Henry off waivers
The Washington Commanders claim undrafted rookie RB Robert Henry Jr. off waivers from Seattle on Nov. 3, 2026, after he spent a brief stint on the Seahawks' active roster.

The move coincides with Jeremy McNichols' foot injury, prompting questions about depth. Meanwhile, the Commanders released sixth‑round rookie Kaytron Allen, who was promptly picked up by the Dolphins.
Commanders injury update: Three key players placed on injured reserve
The Washington Commanders place three starters on injured reserve: defensive tackles Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw, plus running back Jeremy McNichols, as announced on Nov. 3, 2026.

The team has not yet named replacement moves, though they have claimed RB Robert Henry Jr. off waivers from Seattle. Fans will be watching how the depth chart reshapes ahead of upcoming games.

NFL Power Rankings Week 9: Commanders’ win over Eagles worth less this year
The Washington Commanders break a long winless stretch by defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 27-10 in Week 9, moving them within two games of the NFC East lead behind the New York Giants. Despite the win, many power rankings only nudged Washington up because the Eagles are viewed as a tanking team, leaving the Commanders sitting around the mid‑teens (average rank 24.1). Quarterback Jayden Daniels earned his first victory of the season, but injuries to Terry McLaurin and other key players keep the offense thin. A Thursday night rematch with the Giants and a Sunday showdown against the Rams loom as the team seeks to stay alive before the trade deadline.
CB Trey Amos & WR Antonio Williams: part of Commanders core young talent
Washington Commanders rookie cornerback Trey Amos, the 2025 second‑round pick from Ole Miss, returns to impact the defense after injuries sidelined him for nearly a year. In his first game back Week 6 against the 49ers he logged two pass breakups, allowing just one catch for seven yards, and earlier added six deflections as a rookie. Meanwhile, rookie wideout Antonio Williams steps up after Terry McLaurin’s season‑ending injury, hauling in five receptions for 54 yards against the Eagles. Coaches praise his hands, speed, route‑running and ability to beat the secondary with a double‑move, marking him as a key piece of the Commanders’ young core.
WR Trey Amos & CB Antonio Williams: part of Commanders core young talent
Washington Commanders rookie wideout Trey Amos and cornerback Antonio Williams emerge as key pieces of the team’s young core. Amos, the 2025 second‑round pick from Ole Miss, returned from a year‑long injury to post six pass deflections and limit a receiver to one catch for seven yards against San Francisco, showing Pro‑Bowl potential despite a controversial call that nullified his first career interception. Meanwhile, after Terry McLaurin’s season‑ending injury, Williams seized the spotlight versus the Philadelphia Eagles, hauling in five receptions for 54 yards, displaying strong hands, route running and a decisive double‑move that fooled the secondary. Both players signal a promising future for Washington’s offense and defense.
Stefon Diggs, Jayden Daniels among best Commanders from Week 8 win
The Washington Commanders post a 27-10 win over Philadelphia, earning Jayden Daniels a top nomination after a 217‑yard, one‑TD passing effort and 23 rushing yards. The receiving corps steps up without Terry McLaurin, with Treylon Burks hauling 81 yards on three catches (including a 53‑yard play), Antonio Williams adding five catches for 54 yards, and Stefon Diggs catching the sole passing TD. Coach Daronte Jones earns praise for a blitz‑heavy defense that records five sacks, a 44% QB pressure rate and shuts out the Eagles after the first quarter. Kicker Drew Stevens contributes 13 points with four field goals, highlighted by a 56‑yard convert. The collective performance puts the Commanders in a strong position heading into next week’s matchup.
Commanders injury update: Jeremy McNichols reportedly out for months
The Washington Commanders face a significant blow as veteran RB Jeremy McNichols is projected to miss multiple months with a mid‑foot injury, according to Washington Post reporter Tashan Reed. McNichols, who returned in Week 6 after a quadriceps setback, was hurt during the Sunday night win over the Philadelphia Eagles. With Bill Croskey‑Merritt already on IR, the team’s healthy rushers are limited to Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler, prompting speculation about practice‑squad call‑ups or waivers, including rookie Robert Henry.
Washington Commanders Whiteboard: Notes and observations from Week 8
The Washington Commanders bounce back from a sluggish start to beat the Eagles 27-10 on Sunday Night Football, but early penalties and miscues nearly derailed them. Quarterback Jayden Daniels was 11‑of‑21 for 96 yards and a TD in the first half, plagued by four penalties, a dropped pass and a fumble, yet avoided any interceptions. The defense, missing linemen Javon Kinlaw and Daron Payne, delivered its best performance of the season, limiting Philadelphia to 10 points, generating a league‑high 46.5% pressure rate, and recording five sacks with standout shows from Charles Omenihu, Shy Tuttle and K’Lavon Chaisson. Rookie safety Nick Cross led the secondary with nine tackles and an interception, while Antonio Williams saw increased snaps but modest production without Terry McLaurin.
Dan Quinn: Penalties kept us from playing a complete game
The Washington Commanders snapped a 1-3 start by beating the Philadelphia Eagles 27‑10 on Sunday Night Football, erasing a 10‑0 early deficit and tying the season series. Head coach Dan Quinn praised a now‑coordinated pass rush and key contributions from Nick Cross, Trey Amos and quarterback Jayden Daniels, but warned that penalties—especially false starts—still cost them a “complete game.” He also disclosed RB Jeremy McNichols’ potentially serious mid‑foot injury and noted roster moves ahead of the trade deadline, keeping the squad two games behind the Giants in the NFC East.
