Recent official rulings
Laremy Tunsil — Injured Reserve
Tunsil has another check-up in a few weeks, which will give the Commanders a better sense of a potential return timeline in 2026. The offensive tackle is still a ways away from football, but the consistency in his recovery process leaves the door open for an eventual return.
Jer'Zhan Newton — Injured Reserve
Newton underwent surgery for a torn pectoral back in August, but it now looks like he's close to being fully recovered. His activity at practice during the week will be worth keeping an eye on as Washington prepares for a Week 8 contest versus the Eagles.
Terry McLaurin — Injured Reserve
McLaurin's move to IR was merely a formality, as the 31-year-old wideout was recently diagnosed with a torn patellar tendon in his left knee that will require season-ending surgery. The transaction clears a spot on the 53-man roster for fellow wideout Van Jefferson, whom the Commanders signed off their practice squad.

Jaylin Lane — Injured Reserve
Lane sustained his season-ending ankle injury during the Commanders' Week 4 win against the Colts, and the injury was severe enough for him to stay in London overnight to be monitored and undergo additional tests. His absence has opened the door to more playing time for both Luke McCaffrey and Dyami Brown, and they are both candidates for another bump in playing time after Terry McLaurin tore his patellar tendon during the Commanders' 23-17 loss to the 49ers on Monday.
Terry McLaurin — Out
McLaurin went down with the injury on the Commanders' second possession of Monday's 23-17 loss to the 49ers. With McLaurin out of the mix for the rest of 2026, Stefon Diggs profiles as the Commanders' top wideout, while players such as Chig Okonkwo, Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks, Dyami Brown and Rachaad White could see their roles in the passing game expand further. McLaurin, who is under contract with Washington through 2028, finishes the season with 230 receiving yards and a touchdown on 15 receptions over five games.

Javontae Jean-Baptiste — Injured Reserve
Jean-Baptiste was already ruled out for Monday night's game against the 49ers due to a pectoral injury, which is severe enough for the third-year pro to go on IR. He's required to miss at least four games, so the earliest he is eligible to return is Week 11 against the Bengals on Monday, Nov. 23.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt — Injured Reserve
Croskey-Merritt had already been ruled out for Monday's game against the 49ers, but his move to IR ensures that he'll miss at least an additional three contests beyond that. With Croskey-Merritt sidelined through Week 10, Rachaad White looks on track to serve as the Commanders' top option out of the backfield in the interim, while Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols are on hand in complementary roles.

Javontae Jean-Baptiste — Out
Jean-Baptiste didn't practice at all this week, so it's not a surprise that he won't play Monday. Per Reed, head coach Dan Quinn expects rookie Joshua Josephs to see more playing time Week 6, with both Jean-Baptiste and Charles Omenihu (groin/ankle) sidelined.
