Quinn said they aren't in a rush with #Commanders RG Sam Cosmi (knee), who was a full practice participant last week. The positive play of LG Chris Paul and RG Andrew Wylie as of late helps with that.

#Commanders HC Dan Quinn said WR Noah Brown (knee/groin) will practice today, but WR Terry McLaurin (quad) won't.

Mailbag: How good are the Commanders? There’s no easy answer. We took your questions — on stars such as Jayden Daniels and Deebo Samuel Sr., plus role players such as Brandon Coleman and Luke McCaffrey.

This season has been a pendulum for the #Commanders, which has raised plenty of questions from the fanbase about how good they really are.

@tomschad.bsky.social tackled that topic, plus much more, in today's mailbag 🔗⤵️ www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

In today's #Commanders mailbag, @tashanreed.bsky.social and I talk:

- Biggest surprise of the season
- Buy/sell/hold on Lattimore
- Defensive inconsistencies
- Whether McCaffrey should get more targets
- 2026 draft needs (yes, really)

#Commanders HC Dan Quinn said they're optimistic about WR Terry McLaurin (quad) having a chance to play Monday. Said WR Noah Brown (groin/knee) and RG Sam Cosmi (knee) are also trending up.

An L.A. story: Commanders force fumble, and Chargers crumble With Jayden Daniels back under center, Washington takes charge after a second-quarter turnover and rolls past Los Angeles.

Momentum is real. Today, it came on Quan Martin's hit in the 2nd quarter, and felt to the #Commanders defense like "a gasp of air." www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

@tashanreed.bsky.social and I are rolling out a #Commanders mailbag this week.

What's your most pressing question about this team? What are y'all curious about?

No question is too granular. Bonus points for creativity.

#Commanders fans: @tomschad.bsky.social and I are doing our first mailbag @postsports.bsky.social this week. Leave any questions you have about the team ahead of their MNF clash with the Bears below this post and we'll answer them Wednesday.

The Commanders get mad, get even and get going in the right direction All those angry outbursts Sunday? That’s Washington’s way of showing some urgency this season.

Three #Commanders leaders — first Bobby Wagner, then Dan Quinn, then Jayden Daniels — had emotional outbursts Sunday.

"That's something we need," Laremy Tunsil said.

After falling behind early, the #Commanders went on a 27-0 run to knock off the Chargers in a 27-10 win. They improve to 3-2. They return home next week to host the Bears on MNF.

Jayden Daniels cleared to return for Sunday’s game against Chargers The Commanders quarterback said he felt good at practice Wednesday and plans on playing in this week’s game in California.

Commanders quarterly report: Special teams up; defense down; offense TBD It has been an erratic but excusable start to the season for Washington, which has been decimated by injuries.

How can you get better at tackling if you don’t practice tackling? After “too many” missed tackles in their deflating loss to Atlanta, the Commanders face a common football paradox.

Good morning from SoFi -- where yes, it is still morning.

Some pre-game reading ahead of #Commanders-#Chargers...

The #Commanders' inactives:

WR Terry McLaurin (quad), WR Noah Brown (knee/groin) and RG Sam Cosmi (knee) are the only players on the active roster who won't play

#Commanders HC Dan Quinn said WR Deebo Samuel (heel) will play Sunday

Samuel has been getting some work in during drills. Will be interesting to see his designation after practice.

#Commanders WR Deebo Samuel (heel) is here working with the training staff. He was doing a lot of extra stretching.

#Commanders CB Mike Sainristil (knee) is fully dressed at practice today. He missed practice Wednesday and Thursday.

How can you get better at tackling if you don’t practice tackling? After “too many” missed tackles in deflating loss to Atlanta, Washington’s defense faces a common football paradox.

The #Commanders missed at least 9 tackles last week, some of which contributed to TD runs.

It gets at a paradox: How do you improve tackling when you can't really tackle at practice? www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

#Commanders DC Joe Whitt Jr. said "we don't need anybody to put capes on" when it comes to the defensive struggles. He's stressed with players that they need to just focus on doing their job.

Commanders quarterly report: Special teams up; defense down; offense TBD It has been an erratic but excusable start to the season for Washington, which has been decimated by injuries.

We're (roughly) a quarter through the 2025 season. The #Commanders have had a bumpy start defined by injuries... but they're still 2-2 and there's plenty of time for them to get rolling.

My takeaways on the good and the bad through four games 🔗⤵️ www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

The #Commanders' Wednesday injury report:

#Commanders QB Jayden Daniels called the last couple weeks "tough." He said he wanted to be out there as a competitor, but he credited for HC Dan Quinn and others for having his best interests in mind.

When asked if he'll play Sunday, Daniels said "we'll see on Sunday."

Don't see #Commanders WRs Terry McLaurin or Noah Brown at practice today.

Jayden Daniels is medically cleared, putting him in line to return Sunday Coach Dan Quinn said the Commanders quarterback will be “back at full speed” at practice, ahead of the team’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

#Commanders QB Jayden Daniels is a full practice participant today, putting him in line to return against the Chargers this Sunday.

@tomschad.bsky.social and I with more 🔗⤵️ www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

Daniels hasn't been a full practice participant since he suffered a knee sprain in the Sept. 11 loss to the Packers. Barring a setback, he'll play against the Chargers this week.
