Washington Commanders inactive vs Lions announced

The Commanders have listed seven players for tonight’s playoff game against the Lions.

• KJ Osborn
• QB Jeff Driskel (Emergency Quarterback)
• CB Michael Davis
• RB Chris Rodriguez
• LB Dominique Hampton
• DE Andre Jones, Jr
• G Chris Paul

Brian Robinson has been ineffective in recent games, raising concerns if he plays injured. Still, Chris Rodriguez, who has been more effective than Robinson, is inactive again.

The commanders announced that they had elevated Jones earlier in the day, so it is surprising that they then decided to leave him inactive.

TE Ben Sinnott appears to have recovered from his injury last week against the Bucs. That means the Chiefs will dress Sinnott and Colson Yankoff tonight.

This is the second straight week Davis has been inactive. The commanders choose again this week CB Kevon Seymour over Davis.

Osborn is inactive again and must be disappointed as he has previously played with the Vikings in the playoffs. But this is big business and the coaches choose to play those they think will give them the best chance to win.

Hampton, a rookie from U of Washington, has been active in just one game this season. Adam Peters and Dan Quinn, who had drafted Hampton, would no doubt want to play him. But again they don’t feel it’s the best move for the team.
