  • Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Six grabs in Sunday's win

    McLaurin caught six of eight targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.

    While the veteran wideout led the Commanders in targets and receptions, McLaurin's longest gain went for only 12 yards, as rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels rarely tried to stretch the field. New offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury has a long track record of building his passing game around short, high-percentage routes, but McLaurin doesn't have the yards-after-catch ability to turn those into big gains -- his 4.4 YAC per reception in 2023 ranked 79th out of 139 qualified pass catchers. McLaurin will try to at least maintain a useful target volume in Week 3 against the Bengals.

  • Commanders' Zach Ertz: Leading receiver Sunday

    Ertz caught all four of his targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.

    The veteran tight end led the Commanders in receiving yards as rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels often had to get rid of the ball quickly on an afternoon that saw him get sacked five times. Ertz's role as one of Daniels' primary safety valves should give him a solid target floor, but at 33 years old, he may not be able to do significant damage with those looks. Ertz will try to put together another productive effort in Week 3 against the Bengals.

  • Commanders' Austin Ekeler: Racks up yards in Sunday's win

    Ekeler carried the ball eight times for 38 yards and caught all three of his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.

    The former Charger had more receiving yards than rushing yards for the second straight game, as he continues to be an effective complement to early down back Brian Robinson -- who pounded out 133 rushing yards on 17 carries Sunday -- in the Washington backfield. Ekeler will look to get into the end zone for the first time with his new team in a Week 3 tilt against the Bengals.

  • Commanders' Brian Robinson: Career-best effort in Sunday's win

    Robinson carried the ball 17 times for 133 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.

    The third-year running back set a new career high in rushing yards, topping the 105 yards he put together in Week 12 of the 2022 season. While Robinson couldn't get into the end zone Sunday, he helped keep the chains moving as the Commanders mounted seven drives that ended in field goals. Austin Ekeler also had a productive game with 85 scrimmage yards, but Robinson is the clear top option in the Commanders' backfield heading into a Week 3 clash with the Bengals.

  • Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Does just enough for first NFL win

    Daniels completed 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants. He added 44 rushing yards on 10 carries.

    The rookie quarterback led the Commanders on seven scoring drives, but all seven resulted in field goals rather than finishing in the end zone. Daniels did a good job of taking care of the ball though, despite fierce pressure from the Giants defense that resulted in five sacks. The second overall pick in the 2024 Draft has been brought down seven times through his first two games, and the inability of the Washington offensive line to protect Daniels could encourage coordinator Kliff Kingsbury to continue having him throw quick. high-percentage passes. Daniels will likely need to use his legs again in Week 3 against the Bengals.

  • Commanders' Austin Seibert: Comes through in debut

    Seibert made all seven field-goal attempts in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.

    Seibert just joined the Commanders on Tuesday after the team decided to cut Cade York. He made the decision pay off in Week 2, making himself responsible for every point put on the board in their divisional win. The Oklahoma product hit six field goals from 33 yards out or less, including the game-winner from 30 yards out as time was expiring to seal the victory. His long for the day was from 45 yards. Next up for Seibert and Washington are the Bengals on MNF in Week 3.

  • Commanders' Jamin Davis: Not playing Sunday

    Davis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Davis has started in 28 games for the Commanders over the last two seasons, but he did not start in Week 1 against the Buccaneers and he finished the contest with three tackles (two solo) while playing just 16 snaps (13 on defense, three on special teams). With Washington going to a 3-4 scheme under head coach Dan Quinn, Davis doesn't appear to have an established role in the defense to start the regular season. The 2021 first-round pick's next chance to suit up is Week 3 against the Bengals on Sept. 23.

  • Commanders' Sam Hartman: Will be emergency QB again

    Hartman will serve as Washington's emergency third quarterback Sunday versus the Giants.

    It's the second straight week in which Hartman will serve as the emergency third QB. He'll be able to enter Sunday's contest only if both Jayden Daniels and Jeff Driskel become unavailable due to injury or ejection.

  • Commanders' Jamison Crowder: Not suiting up Sunday

    Crowder (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Giants.

    After logging just three offensive snaps and one special-teams snap Week 1 against Tampa Bay, Crowder is a healthy scratch for Week 2. That emphasizes the veteran wideout's low position on the Commanders' receiver pecking order, and it also suggests the team is comfortable having another player handle punt returns. Crowder played in all 17 contests for Washington last season, with much of his work coming in the return game.

  • Commanders' Quan Martin: Cleared for Week 2

    Martin (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Martin suffered a minor hamstring injury during Friday's practice but will still play against the Giants. The 2023 second-round pick played 59 of Washington's 64 defensive snaps in Week 1, recording nine tackles (eight solo).

  • Commanders' Clelin Ferrell: Will play Sunday

    Ferrell (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Ferrell was added to the Commanders' injury report Friday after not practicing due to a knee injury. However, it appears his inactivity Friday was simply precautionary, and he should be full go versus New York. During Washington's 37-20 loss to Tampa Bay in Week 1, Ferrell played 34 of 64 defensive snaps and recorded two solo tackles, including a sack.

  • Commanders' Jer'Zhan Newton: Set to make NFL debut

    Newton (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Newton fell in the 2024 NFL Draft due to injury concerns and missed Washington's season-opening loss to Tampa Bay due to a foot injury. However, the Illinois product logged a pair of limited sessions to cap Week 2 prep and is slated to make his NFL debut. Despite being active, the rookie's role is expected to be limited. With Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen leading the way, Newton will compete with Phidarian Mathis and Carlos Watkins for backup DT snaps.
