Commanders | Zach Ertz racks up 10 receptions Mon Dec 1, 02:52 AM
Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz collected 10 catches for 106 yards versus the Denver Broncos in Week 13. Ertz was targeted 13 times.
| Footballguys view: Ertz made NFL history, moving past Shannon Sharpe on the all-time receptions list. Ertz entered the game with 814 career catches, needing just two to move past Sharpe's tally. By the end of the night, Ertz had his first 100-yard game of the 2025 season and his 12th career game with double-digit receptions. His performance placed him behind only Tony Gonzalez (1,325), Jason Witten (1,228), Travis Kelce (1,063), and Antonio Gates (995) among all-time tight ends. Ertz has quietly been TE8 on the season. He could help fantasy investors out down the stretch. |

Commanders | Terry McLaurin busy in his return Mon Dec 1, 02:25 AM
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) was targeted a game-high 14 times in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, catching seven passes for 96 yards and a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: As AtoZ Sports suggested, not having McLaurin healthy this season has been a major factor for the Commanders being 3-9, and we were reminded of that on Sunday night. McLaurin has missed eight total games with his quad injury and got back on the field like nothing ever happened. Most impressive, McLaurin caught 3 of 8 targets for 30 yards when covered by Pat Surtain II, with his final reception being an overtime touchdown. Surtain had not allowed a touchdown on his last 507 coverage snaps dating back to Week 13 of 2024. It's an encouraging return. |

Commanders | Marcus Mariota to start Week 13's game Sat Nov 29, 10:07 AM
Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota will start Week 13's game against the Denver Broncos, as a result of QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) having been ruled out due to a dislocated left elbow.
| Footballguys view: Mariota gets to start on Sunday night against one of the league's best defenses. The Broncos get sacks in bunches, and Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain returns from a pec injury (that's kept him out since Week 8) this week. Add in what could be inclement weather (rain), and you can see why we've got Mariota as a low-end QB2 in Week 13. |

Washington Commanders quarterbacks coach Tavita Pritchard is leaving the team to become the new head coach at Stanford University.
Link to story Commanders | Chris Rodriguez Jr. good to go Fri Nov 28, 04:27 PM
Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (illness) practiced in full on Friday, Nov. 28, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Rodriguez has quietly emerged as the lead back in the mercurial Commanders' backfield. He cedes some passing-down work to Jeremy McNichols, which puts a ceiling on his upside. However, goal-line opportunities have gone his way recently, making him a touchdown-dependent RB3 against a stout Broncos defense. |
Commanders | Jayden Daniels out for Week 13 Fri Nov 28, 04:23 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was limited in practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: Daniels still hasn't been cleared for contact, a major hurdle before he can even be considered for activation. He's expressed interest in returning this season, but the Commanders may prioritize keeping their franchise quarterback safe and healthy in what's clearly a lost season. |
Commanders | Week 13 injury report for Washington Fri Nov 28, 04:17 PM
Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin, knee, rest) and DE Drake Jackson (knee, groin) did not practice on Friday, Nov. 28, and have been ruled out for Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was limited in practice all week and has been ruled out. S Will Harris (ankle) and LS Tyler Ott (illness, back) practiced in full on Friday and are listed as questionable. DL Javon Kinlaw (rest) and WR Terry McLaurin (quad, rest) did not practice on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report. WR Treylon Burks (finger), LB Ale Kaho (concussion), WR Jaylin Lane (hip), LB Frankie Luvu (shoulder), WR Chris Moore (shoulder), RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (illness), and TE Ben Sinnott (ankle) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

Commanders | Terry McLaurin will play in Week 13 Fri Nov 28, 01:15 PM
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quad) will be active for Week 13 against the Denver Broncos.
| Footballguys view: McLaurin will make his return after missing over a month, suiting up for just his second game since Week 3. It's been a brutal season for both McLaurin and the Commanders. Marcus Mariota is set to start this week, while Jayden Daniels is back at practice and aiming for a return in the next couple of weeks. If Daniels and McLaurin can get hot down the stretch, they could offer some sneaky late-season production for struggling fantasy managers. For this week, though, McLaurin is a risky WR4. |

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) intends to play in Week 13. 'I feel really good,' McLaurin said. '[I will] just continue to talk with the training staff, see what their plan is for the game. But I plan to play as much as I can -- and as much as they'll allow me to.'
| Footballguys view: McLaurin returns to the field in Week 13 against the Broncos. He's likely to see Pat Surtain, and that's a terrible matchup. McLaurin is a flex consideration with this matchup and what is forecast to be a rainy game. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels a week away? Wed Nov 26, 12:45 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) could realistically return in Week 14, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Daniels is unlikely to play in Week 13 on Sunday night against the Broncos. This elbow injury was gnarly to watch, but he's been recovering at the appropriate rate. The Commanders have a lost season in 2025, but getting Daniels out there could help build momentum for 2026. |
Commanders | Jayden Daniels pushing to return when healthy Tue Nov 25, 03:45 PM
Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is not interested in being shut down for the rest of the season. With the Commanders at 3-8, there has been some thought that Daniels might not suit up again in 2025 to keep him healthy for 2026. But that's not really what Daniels wants. "If I'm back out there, I'm healthy, and I'm ready to go, I want to be out there," Daniels said.
| Footballguys view: Daniels suffered a nasty-looking elbow injury in Washington's Nov. 2 loss to Seattle. Head coach Dan Quinn said this week that Daniels is set to return to practice, though the quarterback has not yet been cleared for contact. Daniels added that he's been throwing, though he wouldn't put a timetable on how close he thinks he is to being able to return. Marcus Mariota is set to start against the Broncos on Sunday Night Football this week. |

Commanders | Terry McLaurin on field Monday Mon Nov 24, 03:26 PM
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) participated in practice Monday, Nov. 24.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, Monday's practice represents McLaurin's first time handling on-field reps since aggravating his quad injury in Week 8. McLaurin will likely be cleared to retake the field against the Broncos on Sunday -- assuming he's able to ramp up his activity at practice throughout the week while avoiding any setbacks. We'll monitor as the week progresses. |

Commanders | Noah Brown cleared to practice Mon Nov 24, 02:22 PM
Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin, knee) had his 21-day practice window opened Monday, Nov. 24.
| Footballguys view: Brown has played in two games this season and recorded three catches for 36 yards. He last played in Week 2 against the Packers before sustaining the groin injury that kept him sidelined up to this point. He was placed on IR on Oct. 15. Brown can be activated at any point during his 21-day window. If Brown were to reach the end of this period, the Commanders would need to decide whether to activate him or return him to IR for the rest of the season. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels will practice, but unlikely to play Week 13 Mon Nov 24, 02:21 PM
Jayden Daniels will return to practice this week, but sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter it is considered "unlikely" that he plays Sunday night against the Broncos.
| Footballguys view: According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Daniels, who was evaluated coming out of Washington's bye, is "a long shot" to play Sunday night. Still, it's progress in his return from a dislocated left elbow. Marcus Mariota will continue to start until Daniels is cleared to play. |

Commanders | Washington signs PK Jake Moody Tue Nov 18, 04:42 PM
The Commanders officially added kicker Jake Moody to their 53-man roster on Tuesday, and they announced another roster move as well. They have waived wide receiver Jacoby Jones. Jones was signed to the roster last week.
| Footballguys view: Moody replaces Matt Gay, who was released on Monday after missing a pair of field goals in the Dolphins' loss. He was signed off the Bears' practice squad and appeared in two games for Chicago earlier this season. |

Commanders | Washington releases PK Matt Gay Mon Nov 17, 03:47 PM
Matt Gay is done kicking for the Commanders. Washington announced today that Gay has been released.
| Footballguys view: Gay has not played well this season, making just 13 of 19 field goals, and he missed two field goals in Sunday's overtime loss to the Dolphins. His 68.4 percent success rate ranks 32nd of the 34 kickers who have enough attempts to qualify this season. A 2019 fifth-round pick of the Buccaneers, Gay has also played for the Colts and Rams. |

Washington Commanders WR Jaylin Lane (hip) caught one pass for 13 yards against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11 before leaving the game because of a hip injury. He was targeted one time during the game.
| Footballguys view: Lane did not return to the game. We'll see if Terry McLaurin can return after the Washington bye in Week 12 to help a wide receiver group that has already lost Noah Brown and Luke McCaffrey for the season. |

Washington Commanders WR Deebo Samuel caught seven passes for 74 yards and one touchdown against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. He was targeted eight times during the game. He also rushed for three yards on one carry.
| Footballguys view: Samuel broke a few chunk gains and got the only touchdown for the Commanders with a nice PPR foundation of short catches as the #1 target in the McLaurin-less pass offense. He'll go into the bye as a high floor WR3/Flex. |
