Even from the top of section 412 – the standing room area that’s about as far as one can get from the battle taking place between the Washington Commanders and the Atlanta Falcons – Northwest Stadium is a cauldron of noise.
Jayden Daniels’ NFL playoff debut also will be the first chance for Brian Robinson Jr., Sam Cosmi and a handful of other Washington holdovers to play in the postseason.
You may have heard that Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz and Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni got into a bit of a spat after the division rivals faced off last Sunday afternoon.
The Washington Commanders appear on track to have injured CB Marshon Lattimore return for the NFC Wild Card Round vs. Buccaneeers.
At 10-5, Washington holds the tiebreaker over the Seattle Seahawks thanks to a superior conference record, and they'll hold the conference record edge over the Los Angeles Rams as well should L.A. lose either of its final two games (which is the only way the Rams don't win the NFC West).
“Commanders CB Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) was a full participant at practice today and there’s a lot of optimism in Washington that he will play and start vs. Tampa Bay this weekend,” Jonathan Jones said in a post.
Multiple sources around Hurts have expressed optimism about him playing against Green Bay in recent days, but it ultimately comes down to whether he's able to make it through all the stages of the protocol.
Green Bay QB Jordan Love suffered an elbow injury, but is “hopeful” to play on Sunday, while Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is recovering from being concussed Dec. 22 at Washington.
The Philadelphia Eagles are locked into the No. 2 seed in the NFC and will host the Green Bay Packers or the Washington Commanders in the wild-card round of the NFC Playoffs at Lincoln Financial Field. The date and time have yet to be determined.
The Commanders can't win the NFC East after the Eagles' Week 17 win, but Washington can make the postseason with a victory over the Falcons.
In addition to Brown, the Eagles' injury report had another notable player on it as right tackle Lane Johnson was listed as limited due to rest. The other limited players included backup QB Kenny Pickett (ribs), RB Will Shipley (ankle) and reserve OL Jack Driscoll (ankle).
