Commanders vs Lions Injury Report: Playoff injuries

The Washington Commanders held the first practice of the week at full speed inside the bubble today. Dan Quinn gave some positive injury updates before practice began, saying LB Bobby Wagner and K Zane Gonzalez are good to go for Saturday’s road playoff game against the Detroit Lions. Wagner did not practice all week due to an ankle injury, but did individual drills today. Wagner is a key leader in the Commanders defense and would have been hard to replace against a very good Lions offense.

Co-starter Frankie Luvu has been dealing with a shoulder injury and was limited today after being a full participant in the team’s two walkthroughs. Backup LB Mykal Walker missed practice today due to illness. Rookie LB Jordan Magee is the only player ruled out after re-injuring his hamstring vs the Buccaneers.

The Washington Commanders have been going through kickers at an alarming rate this season, and Zane Gonzalez being listed on this week’s report with a hip injury was concerning. He was limited on Wednesday but was a full participant the last two days. The team drafted three kickers this week, but doesn’t need to sign either of them for Saturday night’s playoff game.

The rest of the team is relatively healthy, with only one player listed as questionable. Rookie UDFA TE Colson Yankoff had his 21-day practice window open last Wednesday, and he was listed as a full participant all week. He has been on injured reserve since Nov. 9 with a hamstring injury and could be activated for Saturday’s game if needed.
