After another hectic week of off-the-field distractions, the Washington Commanders will play what figures to be one of their toughest games of the year Monday night at the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles.
, Washington’s defensive success was undercut by explosive plays . Philadelphia hit eight of them, including passes downfield for 38, 44 and 45 yards. This week, cornerbacks Kendall Fuller and Benjamin St-Juste emphasized that the secondary needs to limit 50-50 balls to Brown and Smith.
Left tackle Charles Leno Jr. said the Commanders’ offensive line is in a better position this week than it was in the previous matchup, in part because it has finally settled on “a good veteran group” with Andrew Norwell at left guard, Tyler Larsen at center, Trai Turner at right guard and Cornelius Lucas at right tackle.
“The offense possessing the football is going to be gigantic in this game,” Paulsen said. “The defense has shown that they get up for these games. They’re going to play well in this game, but they can’t do it for 80 snaps. They need some type of support.”In the absence of big-armed quarterback Carson Wentz, the Commanders’ offense has struggled to create explosive passing plays .
The absence of Holcomb and Mayo could be a big deal because of the Eagles’ RPO offense, which challenges the eye discipline and athleticism of linebackers.Defensive end Chase Young wasn’t on the report because he’s not on the active roster. Washington has until 4 p.m. Monday to activate Young, but when asked Saturday if he would play, Rivera seemed skeptical. He pointed out Young couldn’t practice Friday because rain forced his team inside to a turf field.
Philadelphia ruled out slot cornerback Avonte Maddox and reserve cornerback/special teamer Josh Jobe . Josiah Scott, who was limited with an ankle injury Thursday and Friday, is expected to replace Maddox.
