Team news: Washington Commanders

With kicker Austin Seibert dealing with a hip injury, the Commanders are promoting Zane Gonzalez from their practice squad to kick in tonight’s game vs. the Eagles.

We currently have Gonzalez ranked as our K19.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. is off the injury report and good to go against the Eagles.

Related Players: Austin Ekeler, Chris Rodriguez, Jeremy McNichols

Great news for Robinson, who should lead the backfield charge once again in Week 11, though he has a tough matchup against the Eagles front. He should be considered a low-end RB2, with Ekeler falling back into the fringe RB2/3 sphere.

Offensive tackle Brandon Coleman (shoulder), center Tyler Biadasz (ribs/thumb/foot), defensive end Clelin Ferrell (knee), offensive tackle Cornelius Lucas (ankle), offensive tackle Andrew Wylie (shoulder), and running back Brian Robinson (hamstring) are listed as limited.

Robinson has missed three of the last five games, including the last two. He's hoping to play on Thursday night in a division showdown against the Eagles but as of now it's looking like another game-time call. Hopefully we'll know more tomorrow as today was just an estimation.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) is out for Sunday vs. Pittsburgh.

Related Players: Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols, Chris Rodriguez

This turns into a fantastic spot for Ekeler, who should be in consideration as an RB2 with pass-catching upside.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) is officially questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Giants.

Related Players: Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols

This is a separate injury than Robinson (knee) was dealing with a couple of weeks ago, so this is unlikely just a flare-up. If BRob misses Week 9, consider Austin Ekeler a fringe RB2/3 with McNichols operating as a desperation flyer.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn told reporters that Jayden Daniels did wind up practicing today and "we really pushed it"

They'll evaluate his status over the next 48 hours, but could be determined on Sunday.

Related Players: Marcus Mariota

It's a good idea to have a backup plan for Week 8, as Daniels seems like he could go either way at this point. He's a start if he gets cleared in time.

Still no Jayden Daniels. Has seemed like tomorrow will be the big day to see if the Commanders rookie QB can get some practice in before Sunday so we’ll see what’s up then.

Related Players: Marcus Mariota

Mariota wouldn't be worth a start in typical 1QB leagues if he goes, but he proved that the pass-catchers shouldn't be downgraded with his performance last week. We'll keep an eye on Daniels' status after tomorrow.

Dan Quinn said Jayden Daniels is week to week; he said they're "hopeful" he can play Sunday but will be smart about his return.

The week to week tag usually means a player will miss some time, but that remains to be seen and the team seems to think there may at least be a chance Daniels can go. Keep in mind this game was flexed to a later Sunday contest so owners will likely need a backup plan if they were hoping to play Daniels, especially if he ends up being a game-time call. Mariota came into play when Daniels left and looked pretty good, but it was against the Panthers. Mariota went18-for-23 for 205 yards and two TDs. He also ran 11 times for 34 yards.

Commanders rookie QB sensation Jayden Daniels is undergoing tests today to determine the severity of his rib injury, per sources.

The good news is the initial tests on Sunday showed no fractures, but further tests today and possibly in the coming days will provide more clarity, the story went on to say. Daniels returned to the sidelines during the game and waved to fans, which seemed like good news. Other reports said Daniels was removed for precautionary reasons in a game that was well in control over the Panthers. We'll hopefully know more about the injury in the coming days, but rib injuries can be tricky. Mariota came in and did a nice job, and the Commanders host the Bears in Week 8 in a game that was moved to later in the day. In Week 9, they travel to play the Giants in an early Sunday game. Owners counting on Daniels this week may need a backup plan.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels left Sunday’s game against the Panthers with a rib injury but looks to be ok.

Daniels was taken for X-rays but his mother took to Twitter/X to share a positive update on her son. With the Commanders in complete control against Carolina, the Commanders likely opted to keep Daniels out for precautionary reasons. Washington was up 27-0 at halftime and, at the time of this writing, held a 40-7 lead in the fourth quarter. It sounds like Danieos should be fine for next week against No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears.
