"The injury bug has hit head coach Dan Quinn's squad more than most, and this is no more evident than in the wide receiver room. Initially thought of as a potential strength coming into the campaign, health problems have decimated the group. Second-team All-Pro Terry McLaurin has missed the last three games. Noah Brown hasn't been seen since Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers, and the Commanders finally placed him on injured reserve after initially delaying the inevitable."
"Washington brought in Burks for a visit this week, and they must have been suitably impressed. He was drafted No. 18 overall by the Tennessee Titans as the man to replace A.J. Brown. He never came close to meeting this billing, and injuries have also hindered his development. It's another risky dart throw, with one Commanders insider - JP Finlay from NBC Sports Washington - suggesting that this might not be good news for the likes of McLaurin, Brown, and Samuel."
Adam Peters is seeking solutions for a Washington Commanders roster beset by injuries. The wide receiver group was expected to be a strength but has been decimated by health issues. Second-team All-Pro Terry McLaurin has missed the last three games and Noah Brown was placed on injured reserve after last appearing in Week 2. Deebo Samuel Sr. is dealing with a heel problem, facing restricted practice and reduced production. The team has only three healthy receivers on the active roster and added five receivers to the practice squad by signing Treylon Burks as a contingency.
