Overview
- The team officially ruled out Dyami Brown and Treylon Burks for Sunday’s Nov. 8 game against the Los Angeles Rams, adding to Terry McLaurin’s season‑ending knee injury.
- Brown suffered a calf issue in Thursday practice and general manager Adam Peters said the situation did not “look great,” while Burks missed practice all week with a left foot injury.
- Those injuries mean four of the seven receivers who made the roster are sidelined, leaving only Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams, Luke McCaffrey and Van Jefferson on the active 53‑man unit.
- Washington plans short‑term fixes for Week 9, with rookie Jaden Bradley a likely practice‑squad elevation and a heavier target load expected for Diggs and the remaining receivers.
- With the team at 2‑4‑1, the depleted receiving corps heightens pressure to add help before the Nov. 10 trade deadline and makes Brown’s recovery timeline a key factor for roster planning.
