Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Commanders Wednesday Injury Report

The Washington Commanders returned to the practice field today for their first full practice of the final week of the 2022-23 season. The team is now preparing for the season finale against the Dallas Cowboys. Sam Howell has been named the starter, and will get his first regular season snaps in the NFL in the last game of his rookie season.

Eleven players didn’t practice today, and Washington could be shutting several of them down for the season. Their top two RBs [Antonio Gibson(foot/knee), Brian Robinson(knee)] were out, leaving Jonathan Williams, Jaret Patterson, and Alex Armah getting reps in the backfield. Jonathan hyperextended his knee vs the Browns, and will likely not play Sunday. DE James Smith-Williams and G Saahdiq Charles remain in the concussion protocol and are also likely done for the season. Two of the Commanders top DBs continue to deal with ankle injuries that could put them on the shelf until next offseason(CB Benjamin St-Juste, S Kam Curl).
