  generated by Everlet. The Washington Commanders are coming out of their bi
• 0:21
  week, at one for one with matchups against the Philadelphia Eagles and
• 0:25
  Los Angeles Rams on deck. But any second half push will have
• 0:29
  to happen without Terry McLaurin, who tore his left patellar tendon in
• 0:33
  a game against the Forty Niners on october nineteenth. Which means Monday's
• 0:38
  injury updates from Coach Dan Quinn were welcome news for Washington. Quinn
• 0:43
  said that Traylon Burks, who left the matchup against the Forty Niners
• 0:47
  with an injury, should work back into practice this week. Stefan Diggs
• 0:52
  also appears ready to have a full week of practice. He's been
• 0:55
  dealing with a hamstring issue and appeared to hurt his hand in
• 0:58
  the matchup at the forty Niners. Diggs, Burks, and rookie Antonio Williams
• 1:03
  are expected to be the team's starting receiving trio moving forward. The
• 1:08
  workload for Diggs, absent McLaurin, is not expected to change. Rather, it'll
• 1:12
  be on others to step up without their top wide receiver in
• 1:15
  the lineup. McLaurin leads the team with two hundred and thirty yards
• 1:20
  in five games, though Diggs leads the team with twenty four catches
• 1:23
  and four receiving touchdowns. Steph is doing well, Quinn said. Workload shouldn't
• 1:29
  change as much. I think it'll be others that would climb up
• 1:32
  more. Antonio is one that you'd see getting more targets to go.
• 1:36
  We'll look through the week.
• 1:37
  As we're gonna go, but I like Steph, especially on the options,
• 1:40
  the third downs, the things that he can do. Quinn also said
• 1:44
  that defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw is not trending back as fast as
• 1:48
  the team had hoped as he recovers from a knee injury. His
• 1:51
  status will be updated later in the week. Quarterback Marcus Mariota and
• 1:56
  defensive lineman Charles Omanihu will be back at practice for the team
• 1:59
  on Monday as well. See the AP's full NFL coverage here.
