The Washington Commanders are facing significant challenges at the wide receiver position as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys. With Noah Brown placed on injured reserve, and both Terry McLaurin dealing with a quad injury and Deebo Samuel out with a heel issue, the Commanders find themselves short-handed. In response, the team is looking to Chris Moore, Luke McCaffrey, and rookie Jaylin Moore to step up. Additionally, they have promoted Robbie Chosen from the practice squad to bolster their options.
The Commanders have also made moves on the defensive front, promoting defensive tackle Sheldon Day from the practice squad. In a positive turn of events, they have activated two players back to the active roster. Right guard Sam Cosmi is set to make his long-awaited 2025 debut after recovering from a torn ACL that required surgery in January. Cosmi had been on the reserve/physically unable to perform list but is expected to provide a much-needed boost to the offensive line, which has seen Andrew Wylie and Nick Allegretti filling in during his absence.
Additionally, cornerback Jonathan Jones is back in action after missing the last four games due to a hamstring injury, with his practice window having opened earlier this week. As the Commanders face their division rivals, the team’s depth will be tested, but the return of key players could provide a turning point in their season.
With these adjustments, the Commanders remain hopeful for a competitive performance against the Cowboys, relying on both their newcomers and returning players to make an impact on the field.
