Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Monday that he's not expecting McLaurin (quadriceps) to play Week 10 against the Lions, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. "I don't foresee [McLaurin] making it for this weekend," Quinn said. "Knowing it's game-game-bye, that has an effect. But I don't have a timetable."

McLaurin thus appears on track to miss his second straight game due to the quadriceps injury, which he aggravated in his return to action in the Commanders' Week 8 loss to the Chiefs after he had previously missed the four contests before that. Though the Commanders seem content to evaluate McLaurin's status on a game-by-game basis, the team may be motivated to hold the receiver out for Week 10 as well as a Week 11 matchup with Dolphins in Madrid in order to avoid a setback heading into a Week 12 bye. Wideout Deebo Samuel and tight end Zach Ertz are likely to serve as the Commanders' top pass-catching options while McLaurin is on the mend from the injury.

Allgeier rushed twice for six yards during Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.

The Falcons trailed for most of Sunday's loss, which led to only 14 rushing attempts compared to 37 passes for Michael Penix. A pass-heavy game script means a muted role for Allgeier, who saw double-digit touches in four of Atlanta's first five games. However, over the past three games, the backup running back has totaled only 10 rushing attempts.

Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Daniels sustained a dislocated elbow in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks, and the Commanders expect the quarterback to be "out for a while, for sure," John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

According to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington, Daniels avoided any fractures to his non-throwing arm when he sustained a gruesome-looking injury when he was sacked midway through the fourth quarter of the blowout loss. The Commanders are still in the process of collecting more information on Daniels' injury, and Quinn anticipates that the team will have a clearer timeline for the signal-caller's return by Wednesday or Thursday. At this stage, the Commanders aren't ready to rule Daniels out for the season, but he appears to be a strong bet to be moved to injured reserve, which would keep him sidelined for at least four games. Marcus Mariota came on in relief of Daniels against the Seahawks and is in line to make his fourth start of the season in this Sunday's game versus the Lions.

Price returned five kickoffs for an average of 32.8 yards, including a 61-yard return, in Sunday's win at Detroit. He also had a 99-yard touchdown return called back due to a holding penalty. He had one punt return for seven yards.

Price's returns had a big impact on the victory, as it set up the Vikings with good field position early in the game. His 61-yard return was the team's longest since 2022, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune.

Hargrave had eight total tackles, including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, in Sunday's win at Detroit. He returned to the starting lineup after his role had been scaled back in the previous two games, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Hargrave played on 39 of the defense's 64 snaps. He had played less than 40.0 percent of the defensive snaps the previous two games. He had been seen as not living up to his two-year, $30 million contract before last week, but he may have turned his season around with Sunday's performance

Wilson had six total tackles, 2.0 sacks and three tackles for a loss in Sunday's win at Detroit.

Wilson's strong season continues, as he moved into the starting lineup in Week 2 and hasn't looked back. He has a career-high 3.5 sacks along with 57 tackles and two forced fumbles in eight games.

Scott played 13 snaps, all on special teams, in Sunday's win at Detroit.

When Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason are healthy, Scott will have a limited role on offense. Scott didn't play on offense after Jones hurt his shoulder in the game but could figure back into the mix if Jones is sidelined next week against Baltimore.

Nailor had one reception for 16 yards on four targets in Sunday's win at Detroit.

Nailor had just one catch, but it was for a first down at the end of the game that sealed the victory. His opportunities didn't change with the return of J.J. McCarthy at quarterback. Nailor played on 33 of the offense's 62 snaps, which was slightly less than his usual participation. He continues to have a steady role in the offense but won't get many looks in the passing game with Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson drawing the bulk of the targets.

Lattimore underwent an MRI on Monday that confirmed he sustained a season-ending ACL tear in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Lattimore was one of three Commanders players to exit Sunday's contest with a major injury, as quarterback Jayden Daniels (dislocated elbow) and wideout Luke McCaffrey (fractured collarbone) also appear to be headed to injured reserve along with the four-time Pro Bowl cornerback. Acquired from the Saints last November, Lattimore had started in each of his first nine games of his first full season with Washington, tallying 27 tackles, seven pass breakups, one interception and one fumble recovery. Given the timing of the injury, Lattimore is unlikely to make a full recovery from surgery in advance of the Commanders' offseason program this spring, though he'll have a chance at being cleared before the start of the 2026 season if he avoids any setbacks in the rehab process.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that Perine sustained a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Bears and will need a couple of weeks to recover, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Perine finished with five yards on his lone carry and was limited to six snaps (one on offense, five on special teams) before exiting Sunday's contest with the injury. Though Perine seems more likely than not to miss game action, he'll benefit from a Week 10 bye before the Bengals reassess his condition once they resume practicing ahead of their Week 11 game in Pittsburgh on Sunday, Nov. 16. Perine's early departure in Week 9 paved the way for starting running back Chase Brown to take on his largest snap share of the season (96 percent).
