All aTwitter: 22 October 2022

Game status for Sunday
Out
WR Dyami Brown, CB William Jackson III, TE Logan Thomas, QB Carson Wentz, RB Jonathan Williams.

Questionable
TE John Bates, OT Sam Cosmi and WR Jahan Dotson. ... Dotson felt better today. Rivera said they'll err on the 'safe side' with Dotson.

The Commanders announced a few roster moves:

-Signed LB Khaleke Hudson to the active roster
-Re-signed CB Troy Apke to the practice squad
-Placed CB Tariq Castro-Fields on IR

That's right. TROY APKE IS BACK!

1. Commanders probably needed to open a roster spot due to injuries -- and didn't place Carson Wentz on IR. Sign they think he's back in at least 4 weeks?

2. Hudson out of free elevations from PS.

3. Would imagine Danny Johnson elevated again for Sunday

4. Apke. Apke. Apke https://t.co/CSfm4mqZC9

Asked, Art Monk, not a public guy, why he showed up for this alumni weekend. Hilarity ensued thanks to Gary Clark and Ricky Sanders. pic.twitter.com/v9BnWJCy1X

I've been seeing some tweets expressing disappointment in alumni for not boycotting this event. I understand that. It is quite possible that former players have opinions on the situation, but to see champions and Hall of Famers imparting knowledge on young players is cool. https://t.co/DwfcwBms31

Ron Rivera said DE Chase Young had a "pretty good" preliminary report with the doctors. Again: Meeting with Dr. Andrews on Sunday. If that goes well he'll practice next week.

Ron Rivera on if Daron Payne has a long-term future in Washington: "I'd like to think so." Payne is playing on the final year of his contract. Ron believes in the value of interior linemen on D but — and this is me saying this — the money may get tight. Montez is balling now too

An absolutely amazing read in USA Today on the step by step process of removing Snyder should it go to a vote. #HTTC pic.twitter.com/wLszMnxYnw

Had some ask for this today, so here is an early look at estimated top 51 cap space vs the early FS draft values for next year

Top Right- Solid draft and solid cap
Bottom Right- Solid cap, below avg draft
Top Left- Poor cap, solid draft
Bottom Left= Poor cap, below avg draft pic.twitter.com/7KWV7tkslV

Thursday Night Football keeps shedding viewers, as Amazon's sixth exclusive game (Saints-Cardinals), averages 7.82M viewers, down 11% vs last week's unwatchable Commanders-Bears effort & -40% vs both the season opener *and* the year-ago Broncos-Browns broadcast on Fox (both 13M).

— Anthony Crupi (@crupicrupicrupi) October 21, 2022

That said, the package's popularity with younger fans remains a beacon as TV usage plummets; per Nielsen, Saints-Cardinals averaged 1.89M adults 18-34, accounting for 24% of all deliveries. NFL average is 14%, primetime TV average is 4%.

Do you know where they are primarily shedding viewers? Which demo, I mean.

— T M (@reshmanuel) October 21, 2022

Looks proportionate, with much of the losses seeming to come from the 55+ crowd. A18-34s are still 24% of the total audience, A18-49s were 54% of P2+, which is up slightly vs the season average, and A25-54s were also up a smidge (55%).
