"Based on the events of Thursday's practice session, he was right to do so. The Commanders are working on a short week after losing to the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. This involved a walkthrough on Wednesday, with Quinn ramping things up on Thursday before winding things down again on Friday. After that, official injury designations will be confirmed. Although it was only the media portion of practice, the updates were alarming."
"There was no sign of Terry McLaurin or Deebo Samuel Sr. With Noah Brown going to injured reserve this week, missing either Pro Bowl-caliber wide receiver will be problematic. Neither of them suiting up would be a disaster. That wasn't all. There was no sign of defensive end Dorance Armstrong Jr., who came out of Washington's game against the Bears with a hamstring issue. He'll be eager to participate against the team that drafted him, but it's not looking especially promising."
"Of course, new arrival Drake Jackson was placed on injured reserve one day after signing, so to say the Commanders could be on the edge would be an understatement. Chris Rodriguez Jr. was also absent. The running back was active on primetime but wasn't allocated a carry. Washington could have utilized his physical running style in challenging conditions, but there was clearly some concern about his effectiveness."
Washington's injury situation deteriorated during a media practice before Week 7, heightening doubts ahead of the Dallas Cowboys matchup. Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. were absent from the media session, increasing the risk after Noah Brown was already placed on injured reserve. Defensive end Dorance Armstrong Jr. exited the Bears game with a hamstring issue and did not appear at practice. New signing Drake Jackson was placed on injured reserve one day after signing. Running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. was also absent after being active on Monday night, and right guard Sam Cosmi's expected return appears unlikely. Final designations will be announced after Friday's practice.
