The Washington Commanders were back on the practice field Wednesday, preparing for the regular-season finale on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Unsurprisingly, several Commanders didn’t participate on the first day of practice this week.
Washington is coming off a physical overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football. Two of Washington’s starting offensive linemen from the game, center Tyler Biadasz (ankle) and right tackle Cornelius Lucas (groin), left with injuries. Lucas was starting in place of Andrew Wylie (groin).
No surprise, each of the three offensive linemen missed Wednesday’s practice. In good news, running back Austin Ekeler’s 21-day practice window opened, and he fully participated. Ekeler spent the past four weeks on injured reserve due to a concussion.
Here’s the Commanders’ full injury report from Wednesday:
Did not participate: C Tyler Biadasz (ankle), T Andrew Wylie (groin), T Cornelius Lucas (groin), DT Jonathan Allen (NIR-rest), TE Zach Ertz (NIR-rest), WR Dyami Brown (hamstring), WR Jamison Crowder (NIR-rest), WR Terry McLaurin (ankle, NIR-rest), DE Clelin Ferrell (knee, NIR-rest), OLB Dante Fowler Jr. (NIR-rest). CB Marshon Lattimore (hamstring), S Tyler Owens (ankle)
Limited participant: LB Jordan Magee (hamstring)
Full participant: RB Austin Ekeler (concussion)
Last week, the Cowboys shut down star receiver CeeDee Lamb, so Washington will not have to deal with him.
