Commanders receive positive injury news ahead of Week 12

The Commanders could get some defensive help back in time for Week 12.

The Washington Commanders could receive some pass-rush help ahead of their Week 12 game against the Dallas Cowboys.

On Wednesday, Washington opened the 21-day practice window for rookie defensive end Javontae Jean-Baptiste. Jean-Baptiste was placed on injured reserve after the Week 6 game at Baltimore and missed the last five games. Before his ankle injury, Jean-Baptiste had played in every game, recording 14 tackles, including one for loss, one sack, four pressures, and two QB hits. Jean-Baptiste did this in a part-time role, playing in 36% of Washington’s defensive snaps.

The 6-foot-5, 260-pound Baptiste showed promise throughout the summer and early this season, giving the Commanders positive contributions from the bench.

The 21-day practice window means Washington has 21 days to either activate Jean-Baptiste to the 53-man roster or place him on season-ending IR.

Dante Fowler Jr. leads Washington with 8.5 sacks, with linebacker Frankie Luvu right behind with seven. Dorance Armstrong is next with three sacks.

Jean-Baptiste participated fully in Wednesday’s practice, which is a positive sign that he’ll be activated in time for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys. The Commanders will need to make a roster move to accommodate Jean-Baptiste.

Commanders’ Jayden Daniels explains why he wraps ribs during games

It’s not due to the injury.

In the ongoing saga of “Is Jayden Daniels still injured or not,” fans see the Commanders’ rookie quarterback on the sideline of games having his ribs wrapped.

Considering he suffered a rib injury in the Week 7 win over Carolina, it wasn’t a stretch to assume Daniels was having his ribs wrapped due to the injury.

Not according to Daniels. The star rookie passer was asked Wednesday why he has his ribs wrapped on the sideline during games.

“It’s to stay warm,” Daniels said Wednesday. “I mean, it’s getting later in the year as it gets colder; you don’t want your body parts to get cold. So, it’s just to stay warm.”

Daniels has played in four games since the injury. He’s looked great at times and looked like a rookie for the first time last week against the Eagles. While his numbers have decreased over the last four weeks, some of that can be explained by playing against more difficult defensive teams. Daniels is still having a terrific season.

Daniels and head coach Dan Quinn have insisted he’s no longer dealing with the rib injury.

Regardless of what Quinn or Daniels say, some will insist the injury still impacts him. The Commanders host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Commanders vs. Cowboys injury report: Latest updates, news for Wednesday

The first injury report for Week 12 is out.

The Washington Commanders received some much-needed rest after last Thursday’s 26-18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It was Washington’s second straight loss after winning six of its previous seven games.

The Commanders returned to practice on Wednesday in preparation for their first matchup of the season with the Dallas Cowboys. Only two players missed practice for the Commanders, but cornerback Marshon Lattimore remained sidelined.

Head coach Dan Quinn recently said Lattimore was close to a return but did not offer a timeline. Here’s a look at Washington’s first injury report of the week:

Here is the Commanders’ complete injury report for Wednesday:

Did not participate: CB Marshon Lattimore (hamstring),  LB Nick Bellore (knee), TE Zach Ertz (NIR/rest)

Limited participants: K Austin Seibert (right hip), DE Clelin Ferrell (knee), CB Noah Igbinoghene (thumb), TE Ben Sinnott (illness)

Full participants: T Brandon Coleman (thumb), DE Dorance Armstrong (knee), DE Javontae Jean-Baptiste (ankle), LB Jordan Magee (elbow)

Raiders vs Broncos injury report: Latest updates, news for Week 12

All the latest updates and news on TEAMA’s injury report ahead of a Week X game vs. TEAMB.

Preparations have begun for the Raiders and Broncos for their week 12 matchup in Las Vegas. And they began without a host of Raiders defenders, including several starters.

Raiders, Broncos injury report

CB Jakorian Bennett injury update

Injured his shoulder on the second play of the team’s matchup in Miami and didn’t return. He was replaced by rookie DeCamerion Richardson.

CB Nate Hobbs injury update

Injured his ankle in the team’s Week nine game against the Bengals. Missed last week vs the Dolphins. Darnay Holmes replaced him at slot corner.

C Andre James injury update

James has missed the past two games with an ankle injury and has been replaced by rookie Jackson Powers-Johnson.

CB Jack Jones injury update

Missed the final ten plays of last week’s game in Miami and was replaced by Sam Webb.

RBs Alexander Mattison, Zamir White injury updates

Both back were injured in Miami which means the Raiders will have to dig into the depth chart at running back for this one.

Cowboys battling numerous injuries ahead of Week 12 vs. Commanders

The Cowboys are dealing with several injuries ahead of Week 12, especially on the offensive line.

It’s been a difficult season for the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas has lost five consecutive games entering their Week 12 matchup against the Washington Commanders, and the injuries have started to pile up.

In addition to losing quarterback Dak Prescott for the season after eight games, the Cowboys have gone without top pass-rushers Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence for a combined 10 games this season.

During Monday’s loss to the Houston Texans, the Cowboys lost five more starters throughout the game, including future Hall of Fame guard Zack Martin.

Martin (ankle), tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion), left tackle Tyler Guyton (shoulder), guard Tyler Smith (ankle) and safety Markquese Bell (shoulder) all left Monday’s game and did not return. With a short week, it will be interesting to see how many Cowboys can play against the Commanders.

With a backup quarterback and three ailing starters on the offensive line, the Cowboys could be in trouble against a Washington defense that has played well lately.

Dallas will reveal its first injury report for Week 12 on Wednesday.

Notre Dame guard Sir Mohammed out indefinitely with injury

Notre Dame loses a guard for an unknown amount of time.

Notre Dame freshman guard [autotag]Sir Mohammed[/autotag] will be out indefinitely with an injury.

Mohammed has played in two games this season, scoring 5 points and plucking 7 rebounds in just under 26 minutes of total playing time.

He’s had a left knee injury pestering him since the summer, and now he will be undergoing surgery for a “lower body injury.” This according to Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune.

It’s unclear when he’ll return as the Fighting Irish attempt to continue an ongoing rebuild.

Notre Dame guard Sir Mohammed looks for a teammate to pass too during a college basketball game against Stonehill College at Purcell Pavilion on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024, in South Bend.

Will Commanders CB Marshon Lattimore play vs. Cowboys?

The latest update on Commanders CB Marshon Lattimore.

The Washington Commanders received a much-needed break after Thursday’s 26-18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It was the second game in four days for a Washington team that still hasn’t reached its bye week.

The extra time off is particularly beneficial for players dealing with injuries, such as cornerback Marshon Lattimore.

The Commanders acquired Lattimore via trade from the New Orleans Saints three weeks ago, but he has yet to suit up with Washington. Lattimore has been dealing with a hamstring injury since before the trade. So, the Commanders knew Lattimore wasn’t an immediate plug-and-play.

“We knew there was going to be some time where it wasn’t plug and play after the trade,” head coach Dan Quinn said Monday about Lattimore. “And so, what I look for from the player to see, is he working as hard as he can to do that and learning as quick as he can? And good news for us is that Marshon’s like absolutely savage worker, wants to go be as ready as you can and digging in, but we’re just not going to take the chance.”

So, what are the chances that Lattimore will practice for the first time with Washington this week?

“I’m hopeful that he’s able to see the field some; he’s trending in the right space,” Quinn said. “He’s still working really hard from the rehab spot to see where he can go. But with a soft tissue injury, we’re not going to miss one step of this, you know that. Just like no different than with the other guys, but we’re encouraged that he’s definitely pointing in the right direction. So yeah, we’re hopeful that we see him out on the practice field some towards the end of the week.”

That’s encouraging news for Washington. The pass defense has played surprisingly well despite some depth concerns at cornerback. Part of that is due to the emergence of rookie Mike Sainristil, who has been phenomenal.

The Commanders host the reeling Dallas Cowboys in Week 12. After Dallas, the Tennessee Titans come to town before Washington’s Week 14 bye.

 

Commanders’ Dan Quinn insists Jayden Daniels is not injured now

Quinn did offer a reason why Washington’s offense has taken a step back recently.

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has started four games since injuring his rib area in a Week 7 win over the Carolina Panthers. Washington is 2-2 in those four games, with both losses coming in a four-day span last week.

In those four games, Daniels completed 59.5% of his passes — down from 75% through the first seven games. You can’t deny there’s been a difference, whether it’s due to better opponents or injury.

Daniels insists he’s fine, even saying the team wouldn’t let him play if he wasn’t. Head coach Dan Quinn said after Thursday’s loss that the injury was no longer affecting Daniels.

After a weekend off, Quinn met with the media on Monday and reiterated that Daniels wasn’t injured. He did give insight into why his numbers have gone down.

“I want to first start off by saying clearly and honestly, Jayden is not injured right now,” Quinn said. “But we did lose valuable practice time with him and his teammates when he was injured. And that’s hard on all the guys. It’s a really, really important part of what we do. And we don’t have banked reps in here, so we’re very much looking forward to getting back onto a full week and regular practice sessions with the guys. So, over the last few weeks, we’ve had to put that together in small bits.”

Quinn’s explanation does make sense. Daniels only missed two full days of practice, but he could’ve been hindered in the following weeks.

Here’s a counterpoint to Quinn’s statement that the ribs are no longer impacting Daniels: Why are trainers working on Daniels’ ribs?

Quinn can only go by what the doctors and Daniels are saying. Of course, Daniels will say he’s fine, and the doctors see no reason why he can’t play, as rib injuries are often more about pain tolerance than what you see on an X-ray.

The Commanders hope the long weekend after 11 straight games provided them a mini-break as they head into Week 12 against Dallas.

Doug Pederson confirms Jaguars WR Gabe Davis is out for the season

Doug Pederson confirms Jaguars WR Gabe Davis is out for the season

Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson confirmed on Monday that starting wide receiver Gabe Davis suffered a season-ending knee injury in Jacksonville’s 52-6 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 11.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Monday morning that Davis is believed to have suffered a meniscus tear against the Lions on Sunday. The extent of the tear had yet to be determined, although Rapoport indicated such knowledge would be gleaned when Davis undergoes surgery.

“He is going to miss the rest of the season. It is confirmed, this morning,” Pederson said. “Gosh, I hate it for him. He’s battled through some injuries this season but he was in good spirits today when I saw him. But he’ll miss the remainder of the year.”

Davis nursed a knee injury throughout the offseason, his first with Jacksonville after spending the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Buffalo Bills, which lingered into the campaign. It paired with Davis hurting his shoulder in the Jaguars’ Week 3 loss to his former team.

Davis, who signed a three-year, $39 million free-agent contract with Jacksonville in March, has caught 20 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns with the Jaguars. He has logged 163 receptions for 2,730 yards and 27 touchdowns in his career.

Jacksonville has now lost two starting receivers to a season-ending injury this year. Slot receiver Christian Kirk went down with a broken collarbone in the Jaguars’ Week 8 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Report: Titans lose linebacker Jack Gibbens for the season

The Tennessee Titans likely lost linebacker Jack Gibbens for the season after suffering an ankle/leg injury against the Minnesota Vikings.

The Tennessee Titans lost more than a game in their 23-13 defeat at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings, they lost another starter for the season. 

Starting inside linebacker Jack Gibbens, who has been one of their best players over the past few games, suffered a gruesome ankle/leg injury during the third quarter on Sunday. He was immediately carted off and ruled out. 

After the game, head coach Brian Callahan gave an update and confirmed what many feared: Gibbens is likely to miss the rest of the season with an ankle/leg injury. 

Gibbens is the second inside linebacker that the Titans have lost during 2024 after trading Ernest Jones to the Seattle Seahawks prior to the trade deadline. In his absence, linebacker Jerome Baker will likely see an increase in snaps moving forward. 

The Titans will likely place Gibbens on injured reserve later in the week. More details will come out as they begin preparations for their Week 12 battle with the Houston Texans.
