The Commanders have listed seven players for tonight’s playoff game against the Lions.
- K.J. Osborn
- QB Jeff Driskel (Emergency Quarterback)
- CB Michael Davis
- RB Chris Rodriguez
- LB Dominique Hampton
- DE Andre Jones, Jr
- G Chris Paul
Brian Robinson has been ineffective in recent games, raising concerns if he is playing injured. Yet Chris Rodriguez who has been more effective than Robinson is again inactive.
The Commanders announced they had elevated Jones earlier in the day, so it is surprising they then determined to leave him as inactive.
TE Ben Sinnott apparently has recovered from his injury last week against the Bucs. This means the Commanders are dressing Sinnott and Colson Yankoff tonight.
This is the second consecutive week Davis has been inactive. The Commanders again this week are choosing CB Kevon Seymour over Davis.
Osborn is again inactive and must be disappointed, having played with the Vikings in the playoffs previously. But, this is big business and the coaches are choosing to play those they believe will give them the best shot at winning.
Hampton, a rookie out of the U of Washington, has been active only one game this season. Adam Peters and Dan Quinn having drafted Hampton, no doubt would like to play him. However they again don’t feel it is the best move for the team.
