Could the Washington Commanders be without a big piece of their defense ahead of Saturday’s NFC divisional round playoff game against the Detroit Lions?
Future Hall of Fame linebacker Bobby Wagner missed his second consecutive practice on Wednesday. Washington has one more practice on Thursday before traveling to Detroit on Friday. Wagner injured his ankle in Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers in the NFC wild-card round. It will be interesting to see if the future Hall of Famer practices on Thursday, but Wagner is the type of player head coach Dan Quinn would play even without practice.
The 34-year-old Wagner is in his 13th NFL season and has missed only three games since the beginning of the 2015 season. Fellow linebacker Jordan Magee was the only other Commanders to miss Wednesday’s practice.
Here is Wednesday’s injury report for the Commanders:
