Commanders' Injury Crisis Deepens for Sunday Game
4 Oct
Summary
- Jayden Daniels out with dislocated elbow; Sam Cosmi in concussion protocol.
- Terry McLaurin sidelined with hamstring injury; Rachaad White has shoulder issue.
- Frankie Luvu and Chig Okonkwo return; Athan Kaliakmanis active as backup QB.
The Washington Commanders released their final injury report on Friday, confirming multiple significant absences for Sunday's game. Quarterback Jayden Daniels is out after dislocating his left elbow. Offensive lineman Sam Cosmi is still in concussion protocol, and linebacker Nick Cross has been hospitalized with an illness.
Running back Rachaad White suffered a shoulder injury and did not practice all week, leading to his inactive status. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin was added to the injury report with a hamstring injury sustained last week, and despite initial hopes, he is now out for Sunday's contest.
On a more positive note, linebacker Frankie Luvu (groin) and tight end Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) are returning after missing the previous two games. Rookie quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis is active for his second NFL game, serving as the backup to Marcus Mariota. Offensive tackle Tanoa Togiai is also active.
Wide receiver Luke McCaffrey is inactive for the third time this season as a healthy scratch. Outside linebacker Javontae Jean-Baptiste is the only other healthy inactive player for the Commanders. The Indianapolis Colts will also be missing wide receivers Keenan Allen and Alec Pierce for their London game.
