Dyami Brown Dyami Brown Limited at practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 6:43 PM
Brown (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Brown was a full practice participant Wednesday but was downgraded to limited Thursday. The 27-year-old is now seemingly in danger of missing the Week 9 meeting with the Rams. However, since Brown hasn't been very involved throughout the 2026 campaign, his absence wouldn't open up many opportunities for others. |
Treylon Burks Treylon Burks No practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 6:26 PM
Burks (foot) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Burks is mimicking his practice regimen from a week ago, when he kicked it off with back-to-back DNPs due to a foot issue. If he follows last week's regimen, he'll be limited Friday and enter the weekend listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams. While playing through the injury this past Sunday against the Eagles, he tallied a 68 percent snap share and recorded three catches (on five targets) for 81 yards. |
Full practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 9:19 PM
Newton (pectoral) practiced in full Wednesday, Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reports.
Analysis: Newton remains on injured reserve after his 21-day practice window was opened last week. He's closing in on a return to the lineup and is needed even more now that Javon Kinlaw (knee) and Daron Payne (toe) are on injured reserve. |

Treylon Burks Treylon Burks DNP on Wednesday
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 6:39 PM
Burks (foot) did not practice Wednesday, Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reports.
Analysis: After back-to-back DNPs last Wednesday and Thursday, Burks got in a limited session Friday before being cleared to play Sunday night against Philly. He ended up recording three grabs for 81 yards as the Commanders' leading receiver in the contest. Burks should play plenty of snaps the rest of the season with Terry McLaurin (knee) done for the year. |

Undergoes surgery
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 1:13 PM
Payne (foot) underwent season-ending surgery Wednesday, Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reports.
Analysis: Commanders head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Payne will be out long-term with a foot injury suffered in practice. With both Javon Kinlaw (knee) and Payne out, Tim Settle will have a larger role at nose tackle going forward. |
Jeremy McNichols Jeremy McNichols Done for season with foot injury
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 11:09 AM
McNichols, who suffered a foot injury Sunday against the Eagles that may require surgery, is out for the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: McNichols was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, and what coach Dan Quinn described as a "serious mid-foot injury" will keep the running back sidelined for the rest of the 2026 campaign. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) slated to miss at least two more games, the Commanders' current healthy RBs are Rachaad White, Austin Ekeler and Robert Henry. |

Out for season after MCL surgery
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 10:10 AM
Kinlaw underwent season-ending surgery Tuesday to repair his MCL, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Washington placed Kinlaw on injured reserve Tuesday, but it wasn't immediately known how much time the knee injury he initially sustained Week 6 would keep him out of commission. Now that Kinlaw has opted for surgery, he'll remain on IR for the Commanders' final 10 games in what amounts to another major hit to the defensive line. Washington also placed nose tackle Daron Payne on IR on Tuesday after he needed surgery to repair a Jones fracture in his left foot. |

Officially placed on IR
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 6:17 PM
Payne (foot) was placed on injured reserve by the Commanders on Tuesday, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Payne suffered a season-ending Jones fracture in his left foot during practice last week. His transition to injured reserve comes as no surprise, and in Payne's absence, Tim Settle will operate as the team's primary nose tackle moving forward. |
|
Placed on IR
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 6:13 PM
Kinlaw (knee) was placed on injured reserve by the Commanders on Tuesday.
Analysis: Kinlaw suffered a knee injury in Week 6 versus San Francisco, and he was ultimately forced to miss the team's Week 8 win over the Eagles. The defensive lineman will now be sidelined for at least four more contests before he'd be eligible to return to action Dec. 6 versus the Titans. |
Robert Henry Jr. Robert Henry Jr. Returning to Washington
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 6:06 PM
The Commanders claimed Henry off waivers from the Seahawks on Tuesday.
Analysis: After being cut by Seattle on Monday, Henry quickly caught on with the Commanders. The 2026 undrafted free agent out of UTSA had previously joined the Commanders for training camp and the preseason, only to be waived prior to Week 1. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) on injured reserve for at least two more games and Jeremy McNichols (foot) likely to miss the remainder of the season, Henry will provide the Commanders with another option in the backfield behind Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler. Henry didn't end up making his NFL debut during his time on the Seahawks roster. |

Jeremy McNichols Jeremy McNichols Heads to injured reserve
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 3:27 PM
The Commanders placed McNichols (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: McNichols' move to IR ensures that he'll miss at least the Commanders' next four games, but Tashan Reed of The Washington Post relays that the running back isn't expected to play again this season after sustaining what head coach Dan Quinn labeled as a "serious mid-foot injury" during Sunday's win over the Eagles. The 30-year-old is still seeking further medical opinions, so a formal timeline for McNichols' recovery hasn't yet been established. In response to McNichols' injury, Washington claimed Robert Henry off waivers from Seattle on Tuesday to bolster their depth at running back behind Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler. |
Drew Stevens Drew Stevens Solid in win
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 7:44 PM
Stevens made four of his five field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try during Sunday's 27-10 win versus the Eagles.
Analysis: Stevens had just one blemish in an otherwise great game in Week 8, as he missed a 55-yard attempt after the Commanders' first drive of the game. Regardless, he set a new career high in field goals made in a game. Washington's offense will try to keep up the momentum against a tougher defense in Week 9 versus the Rams. |
Chig Okonkwo Chig Okonkwo Musters two catches in Week 8
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 7:22 PM
Okonkwo tallied two catches (on four targets) for 32 yards during Sunday's 27-10 win versus the Eagles.
Analysis: Okonkwo logged a typical 77 percent snap share in Week 8, but aside from a stellar 21-yard catch in the fourth quarter, he didn't contribute much to the Commanders offense. Overall, he's mustered just a 17-182-0 line on 24 targets in his five appearances this season, but 15 of his catches have occurred in the four full contests for Jayden Daniels in 2026, so the tight end has exhibited a rapport with the team's primary signal-caller. Okonkwo will aim for a bounceback this coming Sunday against the Rams. |

Jeremy McNichols Jeremy McNichols May miss months
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 6:29 PM
McNichols is getting additional opinions on the foot injury that he suffered Sunday against the Eagles, but there's an expectation that he'll miss multiple months, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: McNichols limped to the locker room in the third quarter of Sunday's game in the third quarter and didn't return. Head coach Dan Quinn told Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic on Monday that McNichols has a "mid-foot" injury that may be "serious," and Reed's new report backs up that sentiment. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt out at least three more games while on IR due to a groin issue, Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler are the healthy running backs on the Commanders' active roster. |

Jeremy McNichols Jeremy McNichols Mid-foot injury is concerning
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 2:31 PM
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Monday that McNichols has a "mid-foot" injury and is concerned that the running back is dealing with something "serious," Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: McNichols is scheduled to undergo further testing Tuesday before the Commanders provide an updated diagnosis, but the 30-year-old looks like he could be at risk of missing time, if not requiring a stint on injured reserve. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) already on IR and in line to miss at least two more games, the Commanders may need add backfield depth behind Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler in the coming days. In addition to the possibility of adding a free-agent running back, the Commanders also have Devin Neal and Craig Reynolds on their practice squad. |

Treylon Burks Treylon Burks Leading receiver thanks to 53-yard grab
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 11:05 PM
Burks (foot) caught three of five targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Burks led the Commanders in receiving yards, with most of his team-high total coming on a 53-yard catch in the third quarter. He finished third on the team in targets, two behind Antonio Williams and one behind Stefon Diggs. Burks has 147 receiving yards over his last two games and is expected to work alongside Williams and Diggs in three-receiver formations moving forward as the Commanders play out the season without Terry McLaurin (knee). Washington's likely to fall behind in Week 9, which could lead to more targets for Burks, albeit against a tough Rams secondary. |
Antonio Williams Antonio Williams Five catches in win
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 11:04 PM
Williams caught five of seven targets for 54 yards during Sunday night's 27-10 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Williams led the team in catches and targets while finishing second behind fellow wide receiver Treylon Burks (81) in receiving yards. With Terry McLaurin (knee) done for the year, Williams will have an opportunity to keep carving out a larger role for himself each week with Washington. On the year, the rookie wide receiver has now reeled in 23 of 33 targets for 259 yards and one touchdown over seven regular-season contests. |
Austin Ekeler Austin Ekeler Runs for 36 yards in SNF win
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 11:01 PM
Ekeler rushed eight times for 36 yards in Sunday night's 27-10 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: The veteran running back wasn't targeted in the passing game on a night Jayden Daniels attempted 29 passes. Involved in a three-way backfield that also includes Rachaad White and Jeremy McNichols (foot), Ekeler has minimal fantasy appeal headed into next Sunday's matchup with the Rams' strong defense. Jacory Croskey-Merritt (foot) is required to miss at least one more game on injured reserve. |
Rachaad White Rachaad White Steps up late as team's top RB
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 10:51 PM
White rushed 11 times for 55 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for five yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Most of White's production came in a three-play span on Washington's final possession, as he ripped off a 33-yard run down to the four-yard line, followed by a three-yard gain and a one-yard touchdown run to put the game out of reach. The Commanders have divided up backfield duties while Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) is on IR, as Austin Ekeler notched eight carries, while Jeremy McNichols (foot) had five carries and one catch prior to exiting in the second half. White continues to have the highest touch floor among Washington's available running backs heading into Week 9 against the Rams, and he has scored in three of the last four games, with the previous two touchdowns both coming on receptions. |
Stefon Diggs Stefon Diggs Scores fifth TD in Week 8 win
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 10:50 PM
Diggs caught three of six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-10 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Diggs scored an eight-yard touchdown in the second quarter, and the ensuing PAT tied the score at 10-10. That was the team-leading fifth receiving touchdown for Diggs in six appearances with the Commanders. He's the top option for Jayden Daniels on paper since Terry McLaurin sustained a season-ending knee injury in Washington's previous game, though Treylon Burks (81) and Antonio Williams (54) both had more receiving yards Sunday, and Williams also drew one more target than Diggs to lead the team. Diggs is poised to maintain a prominent role in Week 9 against the stout Rams secondary. |
