2026 Super Bowl Odds: Patriots, Seahawks Failing To Find Momentum

Chig Okonkwo - Six snags in loss Okonkwo caught six of seven targets for 57 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Rams.

Impact Okonkwo finished tied for the team lead in targets with wide receiver Van Jefferson, reeling in at least five passes for the second time in three games. The tight end's seven targets matched a season high, and he is still searching for his first touchdown as a member of the Commanders after joining the team in the offseason.

Van Jefferson - Leads team in receiving in loss Jefferson caught five of seven targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Rams.

Impact With Terry McLaurin (knee) and Treylon Burks (foot) out for the Commanders, Jefferson played 36 of 62 offensive snaps and ran 25 routes on Jayden Daniels' 42 dropbacks. The veteran wideout was signed to the active roster from the practice squad two weeks ago and led the team in receiving against Los Angeles. If Burks needs to miss more time, Jefferson could again have a role in three-wide sets Thursday night against the Giants.

NFL Week 9 Highlights: Cowboys, Giants, Rams, 49ers, Seahawks Get Big Wins

Stefon Diggs - Just three grabs in Sunday's loss Diggs caught three of five targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Rams.

Impact Van Jefferson and Chig Okonkwo ended up leading the Commanders' injury-depleted group of pass catchers with seven targets each, and the former led the team in receiving yards and caught Jayden Daniels' only TD pass. Diggs' modest showing still represented his biggest yardage total since Week 1, although he did see his two-game scoring streak come to an end. Diggs will try to ramp up his production in Week 10 against the Giants.

Rachaad White - Finds little running room in Week 9 loss White carried the ball seven times for 28 yards and caught two of three targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Rams.

Impact The 28 rushing yards led the Commanders on the afternoon, although Austin Ekeler saw one more carry than White did. With jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) set to miss at least one more contest while on IR, White seems likely to lead the backfield again in Week 10 against the Giants. Over the three games Croskey-Merritt has been sidelined so far, White has produced 186 scrimmage yards and two TDs, one rushing and one receiving, while averaging 4.4 yards per carry.

Jayden Daniels - First turnover of season in loss to Rams Daniels completed 24 of 35 passes for 274 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Rams. He also gained 16 rushing yards on four carries and lost a fumble.

Impact The lost fumble was the first giveaway of the season for Daniels in six games. The third-year QB also struggled to sustain drives while working with a badly depleted wide receiver room, and his lone TD was a seven-yard toss to Van Jefferson -- a player who had zero catches on the year coming into Sunday -- in the second quarter. Injuries have derailed the first half of the season for the Commanders, but Daniels will try to spark his team to life in Week 10 against the Giants.

Lucas Patrick - Won't return Sunday Patrick (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Rams.

Impact Patrick has entered the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and will not return to Sunday's contest. Matt Gulbin is set to finish out the game at center for the Commanders.

10 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Patrick - Undergoing concussion evaluation Patrick is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 9 battle against the Rams and is undergoing a concussion evaluation.

Impact Patrick was sent for a concussion evaluation in the second half. Matt Gulbin has entered to play center in Patrick's stead. The Commanders next play Thursday against the Giants, so if Patrick does indeed have a concussion, he may be hard-pressed to clear protocol for that contest.

Athan Kaliakmanis - Emergency QB again Kaliakmanis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles but will serve as the emergency No. 3 quarterback.

Impact The rookie seventh-round pick will continue to operate as Washington's third quarterback behind Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota. Both QBs would need to be forced out of the game for Kaliakmanis to see the field.

Jer'Zhan Newton - Good to go Sunday Newton (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Impact The 24-year-old was reinstated from injured reserve Saturday but was still officially questionable to play Sunday versus Los Angeles. Newton is ready to make his season debut after recovering from surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle in August.

Jaden Bradley - Elevated from practice squad The Commanders elevated Bradley from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Rams.

Impact Bradley is being elevated for the first time since joining Washington's practice squad in September. The 23-year-old should provide the team with additional depth at receiver against the Rams, as both Treylon Burks (foot) and Dyami Brown (calf) have been ruled out due to injury.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Dyami Brown - Lands on IR The Commanders placed Brown (calf) on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Bron will now be forced to miss at least four games after suffering a calf injury during Thursday's practice. In his absence, Van Jefferson and Luke McCaffrey could see increased usage on offense.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jer'Zhan Newton - Activated from IR The Commanders activated Newton (pectoral) from injured reserve Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Newton has been activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams. The defensive lineman remains questionable with a pectoral injury, but his activation from IR means he will likely suit up for Sunday's contest.
