FRIDAY REPORT
Coach Jonathan Gannon spoke on Friday about some of the players named on the injury report. Kelvin Beachum banged his hand the other day according to Gannon. He did not practice on Friday and will not play on Sunday.
Gannon also said that he'll see how tight end Zach Ertz does at Friday's practice before the team takes off for Washington. He and wide receiver Marquise Brown are questionable to play.
Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is good to go for Sunday's game while defensive end Chase Young is questionable. Young's dealing with a stinger from the preseason opener and coach Ron Rivera said that if the doctors clear him, he'll play.
THURSDAY REPORT
After being limited in practice on Wednesday, offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum did not see the grass on Thursday. The 12-year veteran is currently the only backup lineman that was with the team throughout training camp and the off-season.
Wide receiver Hollywood Brown and tight end Zach Ertz both practiced in a limited capacity.
With Washington wide receiver Terry McLaurin being a healthy participant in practice on Thursday, that's a huge boost for a Commanders offense that'll be led by young quarterback Sam Howell.
WEDNESDAY REPORT
Jonathan Gannon said at the beginning of training camp that besides getting better on the field, making sure that the team remains healthy is one of the team goals. As preparations for Week 1 are underway, the Cardinals are fairly healthy and achieved that goal entering the regular season.
The biggest question mark on the injury report surrounds tight end Zach Ertz, who was activated off of the PUP list on Aug. 15 following his ACL tear. Gannon and offensive coordinator Drew Petzing have both said that they don't want to rush Ertz back into the offense. Last week, Ertz said it’s uncertain if he will suit up against the Commanders.
Offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum has been dealing with a hand injury. Beachum was on the the practice field participating during the open part of practice. He's expected to play more of a backup role this season with the addition of rookie first-round pick, Paris Johnson Jr.
Throughout camp and preseason, Marquise "Hollywood" Brown has been limited with a hamstring injury. Gannon has taken it easy with the speedy wide receiver, having him only play two series in the second preseason game. During the open portions of practice, Brown's taken part in most route running drills and worked with wide receivers coach Drew Terrell.
Linebacker Dennis Gardeck was a full-go participant at practice on Wednesday following a knee injury in the preseason game against the Chiefs.
For the Commanders, wide receiver Terry McLaurin and defensive end Chase Young were listed as limited participants in practice.
