As expected Sam Cosmi and Daron Payne are inactive today for the NFC Championship game against the Eagles.
The game marks the first time the Commanders and Eagles have met in a NFC playoff game since the 1990 season. That game was also played in Philadelphia, yet Washington went into Veterans’ Stadium and spanked the Eagles 20-6.

Here are the seven Washington Commanders inactives today:
- WR K.J. Osborn: Washington has only made him active for one game since claiming Osborn.
- QB Jeff Driskel: As usual, Driskel will serve as the Emergency 3rd QB
- CB Michael Davis: This marks the third consecutive time Davis has been a healthy scratch.
- RB Chris Rodriguez: Again, the Commanders choose to go with Jeremy McNichols over Rodriguez.
- LB Dominique Hampton: Hampton was inactive every regular season game, the only exception being the final game at Dallas when Hampton was indeed active.
- RG Sam Cosmi: Cosmi tore up a knee in the red zone last week in Detroit. It is an ACL tear, so he is done and unavailable for the Super Bowl in two weeks.
- DT Daron Payne: Payne has a bad finger from the Bucs game. In addition, he aggravated a knee. So, perhaps the rest will do him well,l and he will be available for the Super Bowl in two weeks.
