"Even though the Washington Commanders are dealing with some troubling injury issues, expectations are still high heading into their Week 4 test against the Atlanta Falcons on the road. And if head coach Dan Quinn's men want to meet loftier expectations this season, these are the games they need to win. The Falcons won't be doing the Commanders any favors. Head coach Raheem Morris, who was on Washington's staff once upon a time, will be demanding a response from his players after they were humiliated by the Carolina Panthers."
"It doesn't seem like the Commanders will have Terry McLaurin available. The same goes for Noah Brown, who hasn't been seen at practice this week before Friday's referendum on his overall status. That's a blow offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury must deal with effectively. One of the best ways he could do this is by finding a bigger role for rookie fourth-round wide receiver Jaylin Lane within his schematic concepts. Lane earned Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Week thanks to his electrifying punt return touchdown in Week 3. That'll be a confidence boost, and this explosiveness should get more looks on offense if McLaurin and Brown don't suit up."
The Washington Commanders enter Week 4 with significant injury concerns but elevated expectations for the road matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Raheem Morris will push the Falcons for a strong response after their loss to Carolina, while Washington arrives confident after defeating the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3. Offensive injuries to Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown could force Kliff Kingsbury to expand Jaylin Lane's role, capitalizing on his recent punt return touchdown and Rookie of the Week honor. The Commanders' defense aims to pressure Michael Penix Jr. and create turnovers, with a projection of multiple interceptions under Joe Whitt Jr.'s schemes.
