Washington Commanders

The Washington Commanders are preparing to roll into a Divisional Round matchup against the Detroit Lions on the road following a big Wild Card Weekend win.

Since the Commanders didn't win the NFC East division title, despite a 12-5 regular season record, they had to head south to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a 23-20 matchup.

With playoff experience under his belt, rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels is looking to lead the Commanders to another playoff win, which would have to be a second-straight upset victory. The Lions are one of the favorites to make the Super Bowl.

As the Commanders look on to take an incredible Detroit squad, here is how their injury report looks:

Non-participant:

  • LB Jordan Magee, hamstring
  • LB Bobby Wagner, ankle

Limited participant:

  • WR Jamison Crowder, hamstring
  • TE Zach Ertz, rib
  • DE Clelin Ferrell, knee
  • DT Daron Payne, finger
  • TE Ben Sinnott, shoulder

The Commanders being thin at linebacker would be brutal, so having Bobby Wagner and Jordan Magee get healthier throughout the week would be massive. The Lions are an incredible team with many threats offensively, so Washington will want to be as healthy as possible.

Washington, unsurprisingly, is a 9.5-point underdog to the Lions with +400 odds to win the game.
