Commanders ruled out TE Logan Thomas for Sunday’s game vs Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: John Bates, Cole Turner

When Thomas left early in Week 2, Bates (18) and Turner (12) would end up running a similar amount of routes, combining for five receptions. Neither of them should be started this week, but Bates would be the better bet for the truly desperate.

Commanders TE Armani Rogers did, in fact, tear his Achilles yesterday, source said following his MRI. He plans to have surgery next week from expert Dr. Robert Anderson and should make a full recovery. But out indefinitely.

Rogers was a 2022 UDFA who had a decent amount of playing time during his rookie year, but didn't get a ton of run at receiver, turning in a 5-64-0 campaign. This may open the door to more playing time for 2022 fifth-rounder Cole Turner, who logged 245 snaps last year, with a majority of those coming in run blocking.

Washington activated TE Logan Thomas from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform List.

Now it will be a race to get ready for Week 1. Thomas had a nice year in 2020 before getting hurt in 2021. He caught 72 balls for 670 yards and six TDs. A lot of that production came over the final five weeks, including catches of 9, 6, 13 and 7 from Weeks 12-15. He also collected 44 of his 110 targets during that four-week span. Obviously he was poised for a huge year in 2021 before tearing his ACL. The potential is still there for 2022, assuming he can get back up to speed. He'll have some late-round value as a TE2 with TE1 potential if things go right. If he's not ready, Bates would be next up.

Samuel was an injury bust this season, while RSJ showed signs of life backing up Logan Thomas for the WFT.

The Washington Football Team is expected to place TE Logan Thomas (knee) on IR. The extent of his injury is still unknown.

Tough blow for WFT after just getting Thomas back two weeks ago. Look for RSJ and John Bates to see increases in work.

Ron Rivera said they received better than expected news on TE Logan Thomas. Said the tests this morning DID NOT confirm their worst fear, which was a torn ACL.

While the status of Thomas is terms of being a fantasy starter the rest of the year is up in the air, it's potentially great news for Washington and what they hope is a playoff run as they currently sit in the final wild card spot. Thomas will have further evaluation to confirm the true extent of the injury and perhaps a timeline. Seals-Jones was dealing with his own injury leaving Bates as the top TE in Week 11 before Thomas returned in Weeks 12 and 13.

WFT TE Logan Thomas (hamstring) has been designated to return from IR. He has 21 days to be added to the active roster.

This is good news for WFT, who are slowly but surely getting healthy on offense.

Washington TE Logan Thomas is expected to return to practice this week, per source.

Thomas has been on IR since Oct. 6 with a hamstring injury. The team will have a 21-day window to activate him, and if/when they do will depend on how he feels physically, the tweet went on to say. Thomas would be a welcome addition back to the lineup, especially since Seals-Jones was unable to play in Week 11. Bates got the start in Week 11 and had three catches for 23 yards.

WFT WR Curtis Samuel (groin) is questionable for Week 11's game against the Carolina Panthers. TE Ricky Seals-Jones (hip) will miss Week 11.

WFT is extremely thin at tight end, but John Bates looked good in his first extended look. Samuel's positive week of practice could be parlayed into his first start in a month. It is also a revenge game scenario for Samuel, a narrative that could make him a flex option Week 11.

Veteran TE Ricky Seals-Jones signed with the WFT, per source. Washington’s TE room now includes Logan Thomas, Temarrick Hemmingway, John Bates, Deon Yelder, Tyrone Swoopes, Sammis Reyes and Seals-Jones.

Ricky Seals-Jones joins an already crowded tight end room behind Logan Thomas. He's not fantasy-relevant even if he makes the squad.
