Injury updates
The Washington Commanders enter their Week 4 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals with a few players dealing with injuries. Jamison Crowder and Zach Ertz both had rest days today. Crowder was added to the injury report later with a calf injury.
Dan Quinn ruled out RB Austin Ekeler(concussion) and DE Clelin Ferrell before today’s practice started. The team traveled to Arizona after the Bengals game, and neither player made the trip. Ferrell didn’t travel to Cincinnati, and Ekeler suffered a concussion in the third quarter of the Bengals game, and went back to Virginia after being evaluated.
Sam Cosmi also didn’t participate in today’s practice, and is listed with an Achilles injury. This is a new injury designation for Washington’s starting right guard, and hopefully just a precautionary move on a short week.
Quan Martin and Benjamin St-Juste were the only two players who were limited today. Both players were on the injury report last week with different injuries, and both played vs the Bengals on Monday night.
Jer’Zhan Newton and Emmanuel Forbes Jr had surgeries this year, and they were full participants in practice today. Newton has been getting eased into the rotation after surgeries on both feet for Jones fractures. Forbes has missed the last two games after thumb surgery for a torn UCL. Dan Quinn said Forbes is trending towards returning on Sunday
