Injuries Plague Commanders' Defense Ahead of Eagles Game

The Washington Commanders are facing significant challenges as they prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles, with several key defensive players sidelined due to injuries. According to reports from PhillyVoice, the Commanders are without starting quarterback Jayden Daniels, who has been shut down for the rest of the season.

The injury report shows that defensive tackle Eddie Goldman is in concussion protocol, while cornerback Jonathan Jones is also unavailable due to a rib injury. Meanwhile, linebacker Bobby Wagner and defensive tackle Daron Payne were upgraded to full participation after initially being listed as did not participate, indicating they may be available for the game.

The Commanders have also seen notable contributions from veteran Antonio Hamilton Sr., who stepped up significantly in Week 15, allowing just two completions for 21 yards against the New York Giants. As the Commanders prepare for this crucial matchup, the absence of key players raises concerns about their defensive capabilities against a formidable Eagles offense, which includes threats like A.J.

Brown and Devonta Smith. The Commanders are hoping to rally their remaining players to mitigate the impact of these injuries as they seek a victory in this pivotal game.
