- Add Andrew Wylie to the list of Washington Commanders players being mentioned as possible trade candidates. ESPN's Bill Barnwell proposed a deal that would send the veteran offensive lineman and a 2027 seventh-round pick to New England for a sixth-rounder. Wylie has played just 15 snaps this season, even with Washington's problems along the offensive line, although there's no indication the Commanders are actually discussing a trade.

- The Commanders could also have another familiar problem waiting for them after the Eagles game. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Myles Garrett is likely to return to practice for the Los Angeles Rams next week after undergoing knee surgery. The Rams face the Chargers before traveling to Washington on November 8, leaving open the possibility that Garrett could be back by then.

- Washington's next opponent is getting closer to having one of its biggest offensive weapons back, with Eagles running back Saquon Barkley practicing on a limited basis for the second straight day Friday. Barkley has missed two games with a hamstring injury, but Philadelphia still has some issues elsewhere. DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Dontayvion Wicks all remained out of practice as the Eagles prepare to face Dallas on Monday night, one week before their matchup with Washington.

Commanders at the bye: Sonny Styles provides hope for better defense

The Commanders invested a ton in their defense, with money spent on younger players perceived to be on the ascent. Odafe Oweh came with a huge price tag. Nick Cross was supposed to lock down the secondary. Leo Chenal was to help anchor the linebacker corps with No. 7 overall NFL draft pick Sonny Styles.
