Commanders ruled out WR Curtis Samuel for Sunday’s game at New England due to a toe injury.

Crowder should get the immediate boost in production, particularly after he turned his seven targets into a 7-95-1 line last week. He is still a desperation play.

The Commanders are signing WR Jamison Crowder to their practice squad, sources say. The 2015 fourth-round pick returns to the franchise that drafted him.

Crowder would have really hit another level to threaten Curtis Samuel, who figures to get a lot of work out of the slot this season. Crowder could find his way onto the active roster but would simply be a depth piece.

A few injury updates I’ve gathered:

• WR Wan’Dale Robinson: ACL. Expecting him to be activated from PUP by the Tuesday deadline.

• WR Cole Beasley: Quad. He’s close to 100%. Ford-Wheaton injury boosts Beasley’s odds for a roster spot.

The Giants have a crowded receiving room, and Robinson will need some time to get up to speed, so it remains to be seen what kind of role he'll start with and eventually get to on the Giants. Robinson has played most of his time in the slot and that area of the room is especially crowded, and includes the rookie Hyatt. Robinson was having the best game of his young career last season in Week 10, catching nine balls for 100 yards on 13 targets before tearing his ACL.

The Giants are signing WR Cole Beasley. He reunites with Brian Daboll, his former offensive coordinator with the #Bills, and adds another veteran target for Daniel Jones.

Year 12 in the NFL for Beasley back in the NFC East.

It isn't likely that Beasley carries any fantasy value himself but if he makes the team, he could eat into some snaps for the plethora of other slot receivers the team has. At the least, this at least brings a little more veteran presence for Daniel Jones.

Bills WR Jamison Crowder suffered a broken ankle in Sunday’s win over the Ravens. He’ll have additional tests to see what other damage went along with it, but Crowder is now out indefinitely.

Josh Allen has been spreading the ball around expertly so far in 2022, much to the chagrin of Stefon Diggs drafters. The news is awful for Crowder, who may miss the rest of the season. A slight uptick in usage could be in store for McKenzie, Shakir, or possibly, TE Dawson Knox.

Gabe Davis improve to limited.

Davis injured his ankle leading up to Week 2 and didn't play on Monday might. It wasn't necessarily great news for McKenzie as there seemed to be a mix of McKenzie, Crowder, Shakir and Kumerow in what ended up being a blowout victory for Buffalo. It's a good sign for Week 3 Davis is at least logging some limited time Wednesday. The Bills do play an early Sunday game at Miami.

By Joe Buscaglia's count, Gabriel Davis missed only two snaps in the regular season kickoff, one of which was the kneel down to end the game. "Expect his snap counts to stay around a similar level all season.

With Stefon Diggs taking a step back in snaps counts —and still performing admirably with his 8-122-1 line— it left more room in the rotation for Davis, Isaiah McKenzie, and Jamison Crowder, who were utilized in that order. McKenzie and Crowder are likely to continue rotating, while Davis looks like he will be on the field as much, or even more than Diggs.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said he thinks Isaiah McKenzie is going to be ready to go Thursday.

McKenzie has been one of the darlings of the summer and appears to have a nice connection with QB Josh Allen. It looks like McKenzie, as of now, has a chance to play Week 1 and serve as the team's WR3. We list McKenzie as a WR4 in our rankings heading into Thursday night. If he can't go, Crowder would fill in that role.

With the likes of WR Stefon Diggs and QB Josh Allen continually having their relationship at center stage, the contributions Cole Beasley made over the past few years were overlooked. However, the slot WR was consistently a safety valve for Allen in Buffalo and with his release this spring that job is up for grabs. Isaiah McKenzie has taken an early stranglehold on that position battle.

The story said McKenzie flashed a time or two in the past, but few expected McKenzie to become the clear favorite to take over Beasley’s role before a preseason game was even played. He's been one of the darlings of all the NFL camps this year and seems to collect positive press almost every day. The team signed Crowder to possibly fill that role but it's been McKenzie who is standing out.

Eight days into camp and quarterback Josh Allen has connected with Isaiah McKenzie on a daily basis; McKenzie has routinely had the ball thrown his way during red zone drills.

The story went on to say the two have great communication and are continuing to build on the chemistry as the season draws nearer. That development has helped McKenzie understand how to run his routes to get open at the right time. The team brought in Crowder to play the slot but he missed some time early on and reports said McKenzie was taking advantage.
