Injury updates
The Washington Commanders enter their Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns with a long list of players dealing with injuries. Jamison Crowder was placed on injured reserve earlier today because of a calf injury he suffered last week. Washington also opened up the 21-day practice window for three players who were all limited in their return to practice. LB Jordan Magee(knee) and QB Marcus Mariota(pec) are returning from injured reserve, and DE Efe Obada is returning from the PUP list for multiple leg fractures suffered in Week 11 last season. Washington is short a player on their 53-man roster, and will have to make a few more moves if all three players are cleared to return.
The Washington Commanders had six players who didn’t practice today. LG Nick Allegretti suffered an ankle injury, and the X-rays were negative after the game.. DE Clelin Ferrell continues to miss time with a knee injury he’s been dealing with since the preseason. Rookie S Tyler Owens likes to make an impact and he left the field a few times last Sunday. He missed today’s practice with a shin injury. Rookie LB Dominique Hampton is dealing with an illness. TE Zach Ertz got his weekly vet rest day, and RB Brian Robinson gets a day off with a knee injury.
RB Austin Ekeler missed the Cardinals game with a concussion, but Dan Quinn said he said “the arrows are pointing up” to clear the protocols needed to return this week. He was limited in today’s practice wearing a non-contact jersey. WR Noah Brown and S Percy Butler were both limited with groin injuries, and DT Jer’Zhan Newton was limited with a foot injury.
