Commanders announce their NFC Championship game inactives

Daron Payne heads Washington’s list of inactives.

As expected Sam Cosmi and Daron Payne are inactive today for the NFC Championship game against the Eagles.

The game marks the first time the Commanders and Eagles have met in a NFC playoff game since the 1990 season. That game was also played in Philadelphia, yet Washington went into Veterans’ Stadium and spanked the Eagles 20-6.

Here are the seven Washington Commanders inactives today:

  1. WR K.J. Osborn: Washington has only made him active for one game since claiming Osborn.
  2. QB Jeff Driskel: As usual, Driskel will serve as the Emergency 3rd QB
  3. CB Michael Davis: This marks the third consecutive time Davis has been a healthy scratch.
  4. RB Chris Rodriguez: Again, the Commanders choose to go with Jeremy McNichols over Rodriguez.
  5. LB Dominique Hampton: Hampton was inactive every regular season game, the only exception being the final game at Dallas when Hampton was indeed active.
  6. RG Sam Cosmi: Cosmi tore up a knee in the red zone last week in Detroit. It is an ACL tear, so he is done and unavailable for the Super Bowl in two weeks.
  7. DT Daron Payne: Payne has a bad finger from the Bucs game. In addition, he aggravated a knee. So, perhaps the rest will do him well,l and he will be available for the Super Bowl in two weeks.

Commanders announce seven inactives at Eagles

The Commanders have seven inactive players for Thursday night’s matchup with the Eagles, thus elevating players from the practice squad.

The Washington Commanders, in preparation for their matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday, released their final list of inactive players ahead of kickoff. There are seven Commanders who will be unavailable for tonight’s game:

 

  • LB Dominque Hampton: A rookie drafted in the 5th round; Hampton hasn’t been active yet in 2024.
  • K Austin Seibert: Seibert will miss his second consecutive game with a hip injury.
  • QB Jeff Driskel: This is the seventh consecutive game Driskel is inactive. He is however the designated emergency quarterback if two quarterbacks are injured today. He was active when Marcus Mariota was on injured reserve.
  • CB Marshon Lattimore: Lattimore injured a hamstring while still with the Saints and missed his final game as a Saint. Missing the first two with Washington, he has now missed three consecutive games.
  • RB Chris Rodriguez: Without Rodriguez, the Commanders seriously need Brian Robinson to remain healthy throughout tonight’s game.
  • LB Nick Bellore: This is the third game this season Bellore has been inactive.
  • Chris Paul: Paul was inactive the first seven games, then active for three games (Bears, Giants, Steelers), and tonight is again inactive vs the Eagles.

The Commanders also announced they have elevated K Zane Gonzalez from the Practice Squad to replace K Austin Seibert.

Finally, the team announced they have elevated DE Efe Obada from the practice squad. The Commanders initially released Obada after the trade for CB Marshon Lattimore, but they immediately re-signed him to the practice squad.
