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.

Is Maliq Brown playing today? Injury updates for the Duke forward

Duke basketball forward Maliq Brown is dealing with a toe injury. Here are the latest updates.

The Duke Blue Devils play their 10th game of the 2024-25 season and their third game in seven days on Tuesday night against Incarnate Word, so naturally, we’ve reached the point in the season when injuries start to emerge.

Duke stayed relatively healthy for the first month of the campaign, but the team announced its first major absence of the year when it declared Maliq Brown out with a toe injury against the Cardinals.

The Syracuse transfer has already made himself an indispensable part of the Blue Devils rotation. He hasn’t started a game yet, but he averaged 21.0 minutes across the first nine contests and led the team with 1.9 steals. He’s anchored the defensive end of the floor, constantly breaking up opposing plays and helping hold Auburn Tigers star Johni Broome to five points in the first half last week.

Here’s everything we know about Brown’s injury ahead of the midweek game against UIW.

How long will Maliq Brown be out?

The team ruled Brown day-to-day with his injury. Considering that the Blue Devils won’t play again until December 17 after Tuesday’s game, odds seem likely he’ll only miss the one night.

Duke forward depth chart

With Brown unavailable, five-star freshman [autotag]Khaman Maluach[/autotag] will probably play more minutes than usual. The South Sudanese 7-footer has started all nine games for the Blue Devils, but he’s only played 17.3 minutes per night. Maluach hasn’t seen the floor for more than 15 minutes since the November 26 game against Kansas, but he’ll certainly jump over 20 minutes against UIW.

Fellow freshman Pat Ngognba II, another center in the 2024 recruiting class, will also probably play in Brown’s absence, but head coach [autotag]Jon Scheyer[/autotag] said Ngongba will be held on a strict minute count for his entire freshman season as he battles a foot injury.

‘He’s doing great’: Billy Napier gives update on Eugene Wilson III’s recovery

Billy Napier optimistic about Gators receiver Eugene Wilson III’s recovery.

Florida football has had its share of challenges this season, not least of which was losing receiver Eugene Wilson III to a season-ending injury. However, head coach Billy Napier provided a hopeful update on the young star’s recovery process, indicating that Wilson is making great strides back to full health.

“Yeah, he’s doing great,” Napier said about Wilson’s progress during Wednesday’s press conference. “He’s doing really good. He’s out of the brace. He’s walking around and normal. You know that’s about a four-month recovery. So he’ll be back in full speed here shortly. So, he’s in a good place.”

Wilson was sidelined for three games earlier this season following a knee scope, and later, complications with a hip injury led to his season being cut short. He traveled to Chicago in early November for a hip surgery that addressed a genetic condition.

Before his injury, Wilson started in four games and had 266 receiving yards, averaging 66.5 yards per game. With 19 receptions and an impressive 14.0 yards per catch, Wilson managed to secure a touchdown before his season-ending injury.

The timeline laid out by Napier suggests that Wilson could be ready to return to the field by spring, potentially participating in spring practices.

As the Gators navigate through the offseason, the prospect of Wilson’s return offers a beacon of hope, highlighting his potential impact on the team’s offensive dynamic next season as the potential primary pass-catcher for quarterback DJ Lagway.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence won’t practice to begin Week 14

Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence will not practice on Wednesday as he begins Week 14 in the NFL’s concussion protocol, Jacksonville head coach Doug Pederson told reporters Wednesday.

Lawrence entered the concussion protocol after taking an illegal hit by Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair in Jacksonville’s 23-20 loss to Houston on Sunday, leading to skirmishes between the teams. The NFL suspended Al-Shaair for three games without pay on Tuesday.

Mac Jones replaced Lawrence at quarterback for the Jaguars and finished the game 20-of-32 passing for 235 yards with two touchdowns.

Lawrence returned to action against Houston after missing Jacksonville’s last two games with an AC joint sprain in his left, non-throwing shoulder. Jones completed 31-of-51 passes for 249 yards with three interceptions and a fumble in those games, losses to the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions.
