Commanders Injury Report: Week 17
Summary
As the Washington Commanders prepare for their Week 17 matchup against the Cleveland Browns, the team has released its latest injury report. Several key players are listed as questionable, including quarterback Carson Wentz, wide receiver Terry McLaurin, and running back Brian Robinson Jr. The availability of these players could have a significant impact on the outcome of the game.
Quarterback
Wentz is listed as questionable with a right shoulder injury. He suffered the injury in the Commanders' Week 16 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Wentz has been dealing with shoulder issues throughout the season, and his availability for Week 17 is uncertain. If Wentz is unable to play, backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke will likely start.
Wide Receiver
McLaurin is also listed as questionable with a foot injury. He suffered the injury in the Commanders' Week 15 win over the New York Giants. McLaurin is the Commanders' leading receiver this season, and his absence would be a major blow to the team's offense. If McLaurin is unable to play, rookie wide receiver Jahan Dotson will likely see an increased role.
Running Back
Robinson is listed as questionable with a knee injury. He suffered the injury in the Commanders' Week 16 loss to the 49ers. Robinson has been a key part of the Commanders' offense this season, and his absence would be a significant loss. If Robinson is unable to play, backup running back Antonio Gibson will likely get the start.
Other Injuries
In addition to the aforementioned players, several other Commanders players are listed on the injury report. Defensive end Chase Young is listed as doubtful with a knee injury. Young has not played since Week 4, and his return is unlikely for Week 17. Linebacker Cole Holcomb is listed as questionable with a knee injury. Holcomb is the Commanders' leading tackler this season, and his absence would be a major blow to the team's defense. Cornerback Benjamin St-Juste is listed as questionable with a concussion. St-Juste has been a key part of the Commanders' secondary this season, and his absence would be a significant loss.
Conclusion
The Commanders' injury report for Week 17 is a cause for concern. Several key players are listed as questionable, and their availability for the game is uncertain. If these players are unable to play, it could have a significant impact on the outcome of the game. The Commanders will need to be at full strength if they want to defeat the Browns and keep their playoff hopes alive.
