As the Washington Commanders deal with several injuries ahead of the NFC Championship game vs. the Philadelphia Eagles, they've received some positive updates, prompting new projections from the Dimers NFL mode since our previous injury report.
Though the loss of offensive tackle Sam Cosmi is a blow to their blocking ability against a formidable Eagles defensive front, the health of a key defensive player will be a boon as they look to stifle Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley.
Veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner, dealing with a high-ankle sprain he sustained in the Wild Card round vs. the Buccaneers, has been limited in practice but is expected to play his usual full workload on Sunday after managing similar issues last week. He played 100% of defensive snaps vs. the Lions and practiced on a similar schedule to last week, putting him in position to play on Sunday.
Meanwhile in other defensive news, lineman Daron Payne is battling a thumb dislocation and a newly reported knee injury, which has kept him sidelined during practice this week. His status remains questionable, and if he is unable to play, Carl Davis Jr. from the practice squad could be elevated to fill the void as he's done three times this season.
Rookie defensive end Javontae Jean-Baptiste, limited in practice due to a shoulder injury, could also miss the game, potentially paving the way for more snaps for Jalyn Holmes and another call-up for Andre Jones Jr.
Other notable injuries include Marshon Lattimore, who has been managing a lingering hamstring issue since before he was acquired by the Commanders in November, but remains on track to play with his only designation this week a veteran rest day.
