The Washington Commanders released their inactive list ahead of Sunday’s Week 7 tilt against the New York Giants, and it looks somewhat familiar.
- TE Curtis Hodges
- G Chris Paul
- T Trent Scott
- WR Mitchell Tinsley
- DE K.J. Henry
- DE Efe Obada
- CB Christian Holmes
Obada and Holmes are the surprises here. Holmes stars on special teams and missed last week with a hamstring injury. However, he wasn’t on Friday’s injury report. Obada missed the first five games and returned last week.
On Saturday, Washington activated defensive tackle Abdullah Anderson and cornerback Tariq Castro-Fields from the practice squad. Anderson’s elevation likely is due to Washington wanting interior depth, as the Giants will lean heavily on running back Saquon Barkley.
Meanwhile, the Giants have some big names on their inactive list. Quarterback Daniel Jones (neck injury) will miss his second consecutive start. Jones is 5-1-1 in his career vs. Washington.
All-Pro left tackle Andrew Thomas remains out with an injury. Thomas hasn’t played since Week 1, as the Giants have dealt with numerous injuries across the offensive line.
Here is the Giants’ inactive list, which features right tackle — and former top-10 pick Evan Neal.
- QB Daniel Jones
- CB Adoree’ Jackson
- C John Michael Schmitz
- T Evan Neal
- T Matt Peart
- T Andrew Thomas
- DT Jordon Riley
