When they last met: Washington and Cleveland

Washington hopes things go much better this time around.

“When they last met” is an ongoing series during the NFL season, recalling the preceding game between Washington and the next opponent on the Commanders’ schedule.

Cleveland 34, Washington 20 – Week 3, September 27, 2020

Leading by three entering the final quarter, Washington saw Cleveland score the last 17 points, defeating Washington 34-20 at First Energy Stadium in Cleveland.

Washington had trailed 17-7 at the half; however in the third quarter an Antonio Gibson 2-yard run and an 11-yard scoring pass from Dwayne Haskins to Dontrelle Inman put Washington back in the lead entering the final period 20-17.

Yet the Browns (2-1) retook the lead on Baker Mayfield’s 3-yard pass to Harrison Bryant with 11:14 remaining in the game. Nick Chubb then scored from 20 yards with 8:40 remaining to extend the Browns lead to 31-20.

Washington had rushed the ball 22 times for 103 yards, averaging 4.7 a carry, led by Gibson’s 49 yards in his nine carries. However, Haskins struggled at times completing 21 of 37 passes for two touchdowns but also three interceptions.

Haskins also took three quarterback sacks for -18 yards, resulting in his final passer rating of a disappointing 58.8.

Meanwhile on the defensive side, Jonathan Allen led Washington with nine tackles (6 solo and 3 assisted) including a quarterback sack. Jon Bostic collected eight tackles (5 solo and 3 assisted). Montez Sweat contributed the other quarterback sack for Washington.

After opening with a home win over the Eagles, this was the second consecutive loss for Washington (1-2).

Washington activates Antonio Gandy-Golden off IR, releases WR Dontrelle Inman

Washington has activated rookie WR Antonio Gandy-Golden off of the IR, making him eligible for Sunday’s game, while releasing WR Dontrelle Inman.

The Washington Football Team made some roster moves on Saturday, activating rookie WR Antonio Gandy-Golden off of the injured reserve and releasing veteran WR Dontrelle Inman as well.

There was a feeling that AGG could be activated at some point before Sunday’s game, with him returning to practice recently and looking good coming off of a hamstring injury that landed him on the IR earlier this season. Before his injury, he was struggling to find much production in the offense, but there is a hope that the rookie can step into a bigger role, especially with the health of WR Terry McLaurin in question.

Washington released WR Dontrelle Inman off of the roster in order to make room for AGG, which comes as somewhat of a surprise, but is not too shocking, considering his production so far this season. Inman has 18 catches for 163 yards and two touchdowns in Washington but has only 1 target since Week 6 against the Giants.

Washington Injury Report: Cornelius Lucas, Ryan Anderson out; Isaiah Wright, Dustin Hopkins questionable

It’s a loaded injury report for Washington this weekend, with Cornelius Lucas out, while Isaiah Wright and Dustin Hopkins are questionable.

The Washington Football Team will be hampered with injuries this weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals, with a number of players already designated as out for Sunday’s game before the weekend even starts.

Most notably, left tackle Cornelius Lucas will be forced to sit after missing the entire week of practice. Washington has been prepared for this, playing RT Morgan Moses at the LT position while plugging David Sharpe in at RT, and it looks like they’ll need to go ahead and implement that lineup for Sunday.

Another player who popped up on the report is rookie WR Isaiah Wright, who has been a revelation so far this season after going undrafted in April. Wright has been at practice all week, but carries a questionable designation for Sunday, as does kicker Dustin Hopkins, who has been dealing with a groin injury for the past couple of weeks.

Washington Week 10 injury designations: LT Geron Christian ruled OUT

The Detroit Lions Week 10 opponent, the Washington Football Team, has released their injury designations ahead of Sunday’s game.

The Detroit Lions Week 10 opponent, the Washington Football Team, has released their injury designations ahead of Sunday’s game and they will be without their starting left tackle for the second week in a row.

Here’s a look at Washington’s full injury designations list.

Ruled OUT/Questionable

Player Position Injury Designation
Kyle Allen QB (starter) Ankle OUT
Geron Christian LT (starter) Knee OUT
Dontrelle Inman WR (starter) Hamstring OUT
Jeff Badet WR Hamstring Questionable
Jared Norris LB Hamstring OUT
Dustin Hopkins K Groin Questionable

Allen suffered a pretty significant ankle injury in Week 9 and while he escaped a season-ending designation (for now) there was no way he was going to play this week. Washington will turn to Alex Smith — who himself is coming off a devastating injury — over 2019 first-round pick Dwayne Haskins.

Christian will miss his second game in a row and Washington will lean on former Lion Cornelius Lucas at left tackle. He will be one of three former Lions to see the field on offense for Washington, with Logan Thomas starting at tight end and J.D. McKissic contributing at running back.

Inman hasn’t played in two weeks and has been replaced by Cam Sims in the starting lineup, but they did get some good news last week, returning starting slot receiver Steven Sims.

Hopkins looks like a game-time decision, so Washington took extra precautions this week, protecting practice squad kicker Kaare Vedvik. He could see a Saturday roster elevation as insurance for Hopkins. His one-year NFL resume consists of a missed field goal, a missed extra point, and three kickoffs, all touchbacks.

No Injury Designation 

Player Position Injury Designation
Antonio Gibson RB (starter) Shoulder No injury designation
Thoams Davis LB Non-injury No injury designation

Gibson missed Wednesday’s practice with a shoulder injury but has been a full participant ever since. The impressive rookie should lead the backfield in touches, but McKissic will be in the mix quite a bit as well.

Washington Inactives: Dontrelle Inman listed as out, Steven Sims to be eased back in

Washington is relatively healthy heading into this game against the Giants, with only Dontrelle Inman and Geron Christian listed as inactive.

Washington has the benefit of a shortened inactives list ahead of their Week 9 rematch against the New York Giants this weekend, with only Dontrelle Inman and Geron Christian missing the game. Both players were listed on the injury report this week leading up to the game, and it was expected that they could miss the NFC East rematch.

On a positive note, WR Steven Sims as been activated from the injured reserve, and he will likely get a fair share of the workload on Sunday and be eased back into the offense after missing several weeks with a toe injury.

Here is the full inactive list for Washington:

  • WR Dontrelle Inman (hamstring)
  • OT Geron Christian Sr. (knee)
  • QB Dwayne Haskins
  • WR Tony Brown
  • WR Robert Foster
  • OLB Thomas Davis
  • DE Casey Toohill

As for the Giants, they will be without RB Devonta Freeman, who is out with an ankle injury, as well as WR Golden Tate, who did not travel with the team this weekend due to performance issues.

Here is the full inactive list for New York:

  • RB Devonta Freeman (ankle)
  • WR Golden Tate
  • OT Jackson Barton
  • G Kenny Wiggins
  • TE Eric Tomlinson
  • DE RJ McIntosh
  • CB Brandon Williams

Final Injury Report: Geron Christian out, Dontrelle Inman listed as doubtful vs. Giants

The injury report in Washington is short this week following the bye, with Geron Christian listed as out, and Dontrelle Inman doubtful.

It’s never good to see players listed as out or doubtful for a game, but Washington fans have to be pretty pleased with an injury report that lists only two players ahead of a pivotal game against the NFC East rival New York Giants on Sunday.

In this rematch, Washington will be without LT Geron Christian, and Cornelius Lucas will take his place. Christian has started at that spot all season, but Lucas was productive when filling in at that spot of him ahead of the bye week.

At the WR position, losing Inman would hurt a bit for Washington, but the fact that Steven Sims could potentially be activated from the injured reserve before Sunday, and newly-signed Robert Woods will be active is a massive bonus.

WATCH: Haskins TD to Inman gives Washington first lead of 1st quarter this season

Dwayne Haskins connected with Dontrelle Inman in the first quarter to give Washington an early lead over the Browns.

It took a couple of drives to get the job done, but a strike from Dwayne Haskins to Dontrelle Inman in the endzone put Washington up 7-0 over the Cleveland Browns, marking the first time this season that Washington has held a first-quarter lead over their opponent.

So far in the game, everything looks solid for Washington, with both the offense and defense clicking. Though the first offensive drive stalled out near midfield, Haskins connected with a number of receivers and got Terry McLaurin going, in particular.

On top of that, Washington’s defense was able to force two punts from the Cleveland offense, and Jonathan Allen came up with a big sack on third down to for an end of the possession.

Jim Hostler says ‘no idea’ who starting WRs are outside of Terry McLaurin

Washington’s new WR coach used complete honesty when saying that he has no idea who the starting WRs will be alongside Terry McLaurin.

One of the biggest concerns in Washington comes on the offensive side of the ball, where there is a major lack of talent and depth at the wide receiver position.

Terry McLaurin led the way in 2019 as the only player who was worth talking about at WR, and going into the 2020 season, it seems that he will have to do the same, at least to start.

That question of who will join McLaurin at the top has been common among fans all offseason, but the team has done little to improve the situation, as far as major moves go. They drafted Antonio Gandy-Golden and signed both Cody Latimer and Dontrelle Inman in free agency, but those were the only additions. On Thursday,  Washington’s new wide receiver coach had complete honesty when talking to the media when he admitted that even he has no idea which player will fill the WR2 role next to McLaurin.

There are several candidates, with the aforementioned Gandy-Golden having high hopes from fans, and Inman seemingly the most suited to fill that veteran role, however, it seems that Steven Sims Jr. will have the best chance. He was easily the second most impressive WR in Washington last season, and many believe that he will thrive in Scott Turner’s offense.

There will be a lot of competition in camp though, and all eyes will be on the WR position.

Washington brings in WR Dontrelle Inman for free agent visit

Washington needs some depth at the wide receiver position, and they’ve brought it, Dontrelle Inman, for a workout.

The Washington Football Team hosted free agent WR Dontrelle Inman recently, potentially looking to sign him ahead of the 2020 season, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.

Washington is in desperate need of some added talent and depth at the WR position, especially after Kelvin Harmon was ruled out for the upcoming season with an ACL tear. As it stands now, the position is headed up by Terry McLaurin, who stands as the only ‘sure-thing’ in that group, though there are some solid expectations for both Steven Sims Jr. and Antonio Gandy-Golden.

Inman has had a solid career in the NFL, spending most of his time with the Los Angeles Chargers. He’s also played for the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts. In his career, Inman has 11 touchdowns.

5 wide receivers the Jets should avoid in free agency

Jets Wire takes a look at five wide receivers that the Jets’ front office should steer clear of in free agency.

The Jets need to find some receivers this offseason, but that doesn’t mean they should just go after any free agent pass-catcher.

Following a 2019 season that showed minimal production outside of Jamison Crowder and Robby Anderson, the Jets really didn’t get enough production from the position. Now, Anderson could walk in free agency, leaving the team even thinner at the position.

Joe Douglas has to do a better job than his predecessor in targeting playmakers who will help Sam Darnold. This year’s wide receiver free agent class is top-heavy, with Emmanuel Sanders being the prize target after Amari Cooper and A.J. Green are both likely tagged. With that, there are also players at the receiver position that the Jets shouldn’t touch.

Let’s take a look at five receivers the Jets should avoid come free agency.

Paul Richardson

(Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports)

On Valentine’s Day, the Redskins elected to part ways with Paul Richardson just two years after signing him to a massive five-year, $40 million deal.

The Redskins hoped Richardson could stretch the field for them. In two seasons, however, Richardson played just 17 of 32 games, catching 48 passes for 507 yards and four touchdowns.

In 2019, he was shut down with a shoulder injury and was placed on injured reserve for the second consecutive season after dealing with a nagging hamstring injury throughout 2018.

If the Jets allow Robby Anderson to walk in free agency, which seems more possible by the day, someone like Richardson could catch their attention. They’re better off either re-signing Anderson, targeting someone like Breshard Perriman or finding his replacement in the draft. It’s a hard sell to fans that you’re banking on an injury-hampered wideout — who seems like a product of Russell Wilson — to be your deep threat.
