Today, the Washington Commanders (9-5) host the Philadelphia Eagles (12-2) in an NFC East showdown from Northwest Stadium. The Commanders received some good news ahead of kickoff, as tight end Zach Ertz and safety Jeremy Chinn are active and will play.
Ertz and Chinn suffered concussions in last week’s win over the Saints and were in the NFL’s concussion protocol. Ertz is Washington’s second-leading receiver and Chinn is the team’s second-leading tackler.
Last week, the Commanders had a surprise inactive on gameday. Starting center Tyler Biadasz was sick and ruled out just before kickoff. Biadasz is healthy and will play. Fortunately for Washington, there were no surprises this week.
As for the rest of the inactives, here’s the Commanders’ list for Week 16:
- QB Jeff Driskel
- DT Phidarian Mathis
- G Chris Paul
- WR K.J. Osborn
- LB Dominique Hampton
- CB Michael Davis
Osborn was claimed off waivers less than two weeks ago and has been inactive for his first two games for the Commanders.
Here are the Eagles’ inactives for Week 16:
- WR Britain Covey
- QB Tanner McKee
- CB Eli Ricks
- OL Nick Gates
- OL Darian Kinnard
- G Trevor Keegan
