The Washington Commanders enter Week 4 of the NFL season with growing momentum, having recently defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 38-33 in a primetime road game.
Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels had a breakout performance under the bright lights and will look to continue his strong play as the Commanders travel to face the Arizona Cardinals.
However, Daniels will be without star running back Austin Ekeler, who suffered a concussion in the third quarter of Monday’s game against the Bengals and won’t be available in Arizona.
In addition to Ekeler’s absence, the Commanders will also be missing key pass rusher Clelin Ferrell, as head coach Dan Quinn has already ruled him out for Week 4.
On Thursday, Washington provided an updated injury report, detailing the status of other crucial players ahead of their matchup against the Cardinals.
Here’s an updated injury report for the Washington Commanders ahead of their Week 4 matchup:
**Did Not Practice (DNP):**
– WR Jamison Crowder (Calf)
– RB Austin Ekeler (Concussion)
– DE Clelin Ferrell (Knee)
**Limited Participation (LP):**
– G Sam Cosmi (Achilles)
– CB Ben St.-Juste (Chest)
**Full Participation (FP):**
– CB Emmanuel Forbes Jr. (Thumb)
– S Quan Martin (Elbow)
– DT Jer’Zhan Newton (Foot)
These updates will be crucial as the team prepares for their game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Tight end Zach Ertz has returned to practice after a rest day, providing a boost for the team. Another positive development is guard Sam Cosmi, who participated in practice on a limited basis after missing Wednesday due to an Achilles injury.
Wide receiver Jamison Crowder, initially listed on the injury report for rest, is now dealing with a calf injury and missed his second consecutive practice on Thursday.
Meanwhile, safety Quan Martin has returned to full participation in practice after being limited on Wednesday.
The defense getting healthier is a significant advantage for Washington as they prepare for their third road game of the season.
