Austin Ekeler, who missed last week with a concussion, looked strong in practice and is set to play Sunday. Coach Dan Quinn noted, "Austin is doing great; he had a really good week." This positive outlook is crucial for the Commanders as they prepare for their game against Cleveland.
Meanwhile, Brian Robinson Jr. remains a concern with his status uncertain due to a right knee injury. Coach Quinn mentioned he's trending the right way, but the knee issue has made Robinson a game-time decision, stating, "Brian is trending in the right way, but he's doing great."
The team will also miss receiver Noah Brown and defensive end Clelin Ferrell, with Ferrell sidelined for the third straight game due to a knee issue. While the Commanders have shown resilience this season, dealing with multiple injuries poses challenges.
In the wake of Ekeler's injury, Jeremy McNichols stepped up as a valuable replacement. In last week's game against Arizona, he rushed for 68 yards and two touchdowns, demonstrating the depth and capability of the Commanders' backfield.
