Wright rushed 24 times for 107 yards and a touchdown but didn't catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets.

Wright's two-yard touchdown run in the first quarter came prior to De'Von Achane's second-quarter departure from the game due to a rib injury. Ollie Gordon added a touchdown run in the second half but posted only 17 rushing yards on his five carries. If Achane doesn't return in Week 15 against the Steelers, Wright could work as the lead back ahead of Gordon in a Dolphins offense that relies heavily on its running backs.

McCarthy completed 16 of 23 passes for 163 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Commanders. He added 19 rushing yards on six carries.

The three TDs were a career high for McCarthy, although it was just his seventh career NFL game thanks to an injury-plagued start to his career. All three scores went to tight ends, two to Josh Oliver and one to T.J. Hockenson, as Justin Jefferson continues to be neutralized in the Vikings' offense. McCarthy was the 10th overall pick in the 2024 Draft and hasn't really had much of a chance to demonstrate his upside yet, but a strong finish to the current campaign would brighten Minnesota's outlook for 2026 considerably. McCarthy will take aim at another vulnerable defense in a Week 15 trip to Dallas.

Brown caught one of two targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings.

Seeing his first action since Week 2 after recovering from multiple lower-body injuries, Brown didn't see much volume with both Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel also healthy ahead of him on the depth chart. The Commanders' QB situation is also unsettled, with Jayden Daniels lasting a little over three quarters in his own return from a dislocated left elbow, but if Marcus Mariota is back under center in Week 15 against the Giants instead, Brown still figures to be a secondary option at best.

Williams (lower leg) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Williams was doubtful coming into the weekend after failing to practice all week, and his inactive status is now official. With the veteran cornerback unavailable, Ahkello Witherspoon is projected to step into the starting right cornerback spot against a Cardinals air attack missing Marvin Harrison (heel), Greg Dortch (IR, chest) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring).

Samuel caught four of six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings.

The four receptions led the Commanders while the six targets tied Terry McLaurin for the team lead, but the volume didn't amount to much yardage. Washington's passing attack struggled even with Jayden Daniels returning to action, but the second-year QB left the game in the third quarter after appearing to aggravate his dislocated left elbow. Regardless of whether Daniels or Marcus Mariota is under center in Week 15 against the Giants, Samuel figures to be involved in the offense -- he's seen at least five targets and caught at least three passes in nine straight appearances, compiling a 46-429-4 line on 60 targets over that stretch.

McLaurin caught three of six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings.

The 41 receiving yards actually led the Commanders on the day, as neither Jayden Daniels (elbow) nor Marcus Mariota had much success against the Minnesota defense. In two games since his own return from a quadriceps strain, McLaurin has caught 11 of 20 targets for 137 yards and a TD, and he's locked in as Washington's top wideout whether Daniels -- who appeared to aggravate his dislocated left elbow in the loss -- or Mariota is under center in Week 15 against the Giants.

Rodriguez gained 52 rushing yards on 10 carries in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings.

As the game got away from the Commanders the rushing attack became less of a factor, hurting Rodriguez's volume despite his healthy 5.2 yards per carry. The third-year back also failed to get into the end zone for only the second time in the last seven games. Jayden Daniels' return from an elbow injury only lasted a little over three quarters Sunday, but Rodriguez has found ways to be productive with Marcus Mariota under center as well, and he might be able to exploit a soft Week 15 matchup against the Giants.

Pocic (calf) won't return to Cleveland's matchup versus the Titans on Sunday.

Pocic is done for the day after being carted off the field with a calf injury in the second half. Luke Wypler has taken over as the team's center in Pocic's absence.

Peat is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's contest in Baltimore, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Peat took a blow to the head in the second half, and his status for the rest of the game is now in question. In his absence, Dylan Cook has taken over at left tackle versus the Ravens.

Mariota completed two of four passes for 30 yards and an interception in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings. He added seven rushing yards on two carries and also lost a fumble.

Jayden Daniels returned to action in Week 14 but didn't last long, appearing to aggravate an injury to his left elbow in the third quarter and quickly being ruled out for the rest of the contest. Mariota took over the offense the rest of the way but had no more success against the Minnesota defense than Daniels did. There's no indication yet on Daniels' status for a Week 15 tilt against the Giants, but with the Commanders at 3-10 and playing for nothing but draft slotting, it's certainly possible the organization will decide to protect its franchise QB from any further damage and hand the reins to Mariota for the remainder of the season.
