Good news: Commanders CB Marshon Lattimore practiced fully

All signs point to Marshon Lattimore playing against his old team on Sunday.

The Washington Commanders returned to practice on Wednesday, and Dan Quinn offered some good and bad news. First, Quinn informed the assembled media that wide receiver Noah Brown would likely miss the remainder of the season. However, in some good news, Quinn said he expected cornerback Marshon Lattimore to practice.

“I think specifically with Marshon, that’s a big deal for us to add a player of his caliber to our team,” Quinn said of Lattimore. “And so, not to make it one different than the other, but anytime you can add competition to a group, it’s a really big deal. And Marshon’s certainly trended in the right direction for us to play and so, we’ll take it through the whole week.”

Lattimore was indeed on the practice field with no limitations.

The Commanders acquired Lattimore on November 5, at the NFL trade deadline. At the time of the trade, Lattimore was dealing with a hamstring injury, and Washington has been cautious regarding his recovery. The Commanders play Lattimore’s old team, the Saints, on Sunday.

Commanders receive difficult injury news ahead of Week 15

Tough injury news for the Commanders ahead of Week 15.

The Washington Commanders are coming off a much-needed bye week. After 13 consecutive games without a break, the Commanders had Week 14 off before returning to play in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints.

Unfortunately, head coach Dan Quinn had some bad news ahead of Wednesday’s practice. Starting wide receiver Noah Brown suffered an injury against Tennessee and will be out “for a while.”

According to Quinn, Brown suffered a “significant internal injury.” Brown left the Week 13 game due to a rib injury.

Brown is third on Washington in targets (56), receptions (35) and receiving yards (453). He’s averaging 12.9 yards per reception and has played in 56% of the Commanders’ offensive snaps this season.

Brown was signed just before the season after the Houston Texans surprisingly released him. The 28-year-old Brown immediately made his present felt for Washington and is best remembered for his ‘Hail Mary’ touchdown reception to defeat the Chicago Bears in Week 8.

Quinn expressed confidence in the other receivers. The Commanders need someone to step up opposite Terry McLaurin, with rookie Luke McCaffrey, Olamide Zaccheaus and Dyami Brown all likely to receive even more playing time in the coming weeks. Washington also opened the 21-day practice window for veteran wideout Jamison Crowder, who has been on injured reserve for much of the season.

Brown was not ruled out for the season, but it appears to be a season-ending injury with only four weeks remaining in the regular season.

Commanders expecting two injured players to return vs. Saints

The bye week was good for some injured Commanders.

The Commanders are expecting starting right tackle Andrew Wylie to be ready for Sunday’s game in New Orleans against the Saints.

Wylie suffered a concussion against the Cowboys, sat out the game against the Titans, and appears to have benefited from the extra rest during the bye week.

Cornelius Lucas filled in quite well for Wylie in the Titans game, helping the Commanders rush for 267 yards on 45 rushes, averaging 5.93 yards per attempt.

Some have suggested that Lucas’ play against the Titans was so good that Wylie’s job could possibly be up for grabs. But Wylie is valuable in the screen game and gets down the field well into the second level of the defense. Look for Wylie to remain the starter, allowing the Commanders to use Lucas as a swing tackle.

The other player who missed the Titans game due to a concussion was RB Austin Ekeler. Ekeler will definitely not be back for the Saints game because the Commanders placed Ekeler on the injured reserve list, meaning he will miss four games minimum. The earliest Ekeler could return thus is the season finale in Dallas. However, if Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez continue to play well, don’t expect Ekeler back to face the Cowboys.

Defensive end Clelin Ferrell has battled an injured knee for most of the season. He picked up a sack in both of the first two games but has been slowed by the knee, but he continues to push through, playing ten games this season.

Cornerback Marshon Lattimore appears ready to make his Commanders’ debut against the Saints.

Dan Quinn told the press on Monday that Lattimore was running harder during the bye week, hitting all the markers and doing the required work. Quinn also mentioned that Lattimore has done the strength work and passed their tests thus far.

Will Aidan O’Connell play this week? Injury updates for Raiders QB

Updates on Raiders QB Aidan O’Connell’s knee injury and whether he will play week 15 vs the Falcons and the remainder of the season.

In the third quarter of Sunday’s game in Tampa, Aidan O’Connell rolled out to the right trying to convert a third and long. He completed the pass short of the sticks and was hit in the back and injured his leg on the way to the ground. His leg was put in an air cast and he was carted off the field.

After the game, Antonio Pierce said of O’Connell’s injury “doesn’t look good”

Aidan O’Connell injury update

According to NFL media’s Ian Rapoport, O’Connell suffered a bone bruise in his knee, which is positive considering initial fears.

Desmond Ridder came into the game for the Raiders. They have no other QB on the active roster though, if O’Connell were OUT, the team would elevate Carter Bradley from the practice squad to back up Ridder.

Doug Pederson: Jaguars TE Evan Engram hurt shoulder vs. Titans

Doug Pederson: Jaguars TE Evan Engram hurt shoulder vs. Titans

Jaguars tight end Evan Engram injured his shoulder in Jacksonville’s 10-6 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 14, head coach Doug Pederson revealed on Monday.

Pederson did not specify the severity of Engram’s injury. He finished the matchup with four receptions for 33 yards over 42 offensive snaps.

“Evan’s gonna have a little bit of a shoulder, in the game,” Pederson said while breaking down Jacksonville’s injury report from the meeting.

Engram has logged 47 receptions for 365 yards and one touchdown in nine games this season. He missed Weeks 2-5 with a hamstring injury.

In 43 games over more than two seasons with the Jaguars, Engram has caught 234 passes for 2,094 yards and nine touchdowns.

Pederson added that Jaguars starting safety Darnell Savage Jr. is “fine” after being evaluated for a concussion on Sunday. Savage was ultimately cleared to return to play.

Pederson also noted that punter Logan Cooke, who entered the game with a left knee injury that prevented him from practicing in Week 14, “made it through” the contest.

Savage had two tackles against Tennessee; Cooke punted four times with a 49.5-yard average.

Saints could be without starting quarterback vs. Commanders

The Saints could be without their starting quarterback in Week 15 vs. Commanders.

The New Orleans Saints could be without starting quarterback Derek Carr for their Week 15 NFC showdown with the Washington Commanders.

With around four minutes remaining in Sunday’s 14-11 win over the New York Giants, Carr rolled to his right and tried to leap over two defenders before picking up around nine yards to make it third-and-1.

Unfortunately for Carr, he landed awkwardly on his left wrist and did not return to the game. While there has been no official report on Carr’s status, it looks to be a fractured left wrist.

The Saints have not confirmed Carr’s injury or status for Week 15. However, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, New Orleans fears Carr did indeed suffer a fractured hand.

When Carr departed Sunday’s game, second-year quarterback Jake Haener relieved him. However, when Carr missed time earlier this season, rookie fifth-round pick Spencer Rattler started in his place. Rattler completed 59 of 99 passes for 571 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. The Saints lost all three games, and, most alarmingly, Rattler was sacked 14 times in those starts.

The Saints have been sacked 27 times as a team, meaning Rattler has taken over half of those sacks in only three games.

If Carr is out on Sunday, the Saints may want to get an extended look at Rattler with four games remaining and three games out of the final playoff spot. However, Haener is also a young quarterback, which could give New Orleans an extended opportunity to see if he can move the offense.
