THE Washington Commanders began preparing for their Week 7 game against the Carolina Panthers by making some roster changes due to injuries. Washington placed starting defensive tackle Jonathan Allen on the reserve/injured list. Allen will miss the rest of the season with a torn pectoral.
The Commanders also placed rookie defensive end Javontae Jean-Baptiste on IR, but he was designated to return, meaning he will miss at least four games. The Commanders signed DT Sheldon Day from the practice squad and also added veteran DE Jalyn Holmes.
Washington opened practice Wednesday without three players. Tight end Zach Ertz received his usual veteran day off, while rookie safety Tyler Owens (shin) remains sidelined. Starting defensive end Dorance Armstrong, who injured his rib in Sunday’s loss at Baltimore, was also out Wednesday.
Good news, running back Brian Robinson Jr. returned on a limited basis.
Here is the commanders’ full injury report from Wednesday:
Did not participate: TE Zach Ertz (NIR, rest), S Tyler Owens (shin), DE Dorance Armstrong (rib).
Limited number of participants: RB Brian Robinson Jr. (knee), G Nick Allegretti (ankle), WR Noah Brown (groin), S Percy Butler (groin), DE Clelin Ferrell (knee), LB Frankie Luvu (toe), S Quan Martin (neck ), WR Terry McLaurin (NIR/rest), DT Daron Payne (knee)
Full participants: CB Emmanuel Forbes (thumb), LB Jordan Magee (knee)
