Giants vs. Commanders Inactives: Benjamin St-Juste, Chase Young OUT For Sunday Night Football
LANDOVER, Md. -- A Washington Commanders win over the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football, and their chances of making the playoffs shoot into the 90 percent range.
A loss and things get a little bit harder and the team goes from controlling its own destiny to needing some assistance down the stretch.
Heading into the weekend, there was renewed hope defensive end Chase Young would make his season - and Commanders - debut.
But we found out early Sunday morning that would not be the case.
Still, with Young out for the game, there were other Washington players left in limbo, including cornerback Benjamin St-Juste (ankle), defensive end Efe Obada (finger), and receiver Cam Sims (back).
All of whom were designated as questionable entering the weekend.
With the development concerning Young, it was evident early that the Commanders would have to be without him and offensive lineman Saahdiq Charles (concussion) who was ruled out Friday.
Here are the other players inactive for Washington tonight.
WASHINGTON COMMANDERS INACTIVE PLAYERS
QB Sam Howell
CB Benjamin St-Juste (Ankle)
LB De'Jon Harris
OG Chris Paul
NEW YORK GIANTS INACTIVE PLAYERS
