Overview
- In Sunday’s 24-22 loss to the Eagles, linebacker Frankie Luvu, tight end Chig Okonkwo, linebacker Jordan Magee, and special teams standout Tyler Owens left the game and did not return.
- Coach Dan Quinn identified Luvu with a groin injury, Okonkwo and Magee with hamstring concerns, and Owens with an ankle problem and said he will give a clearer availability update after Wednesday practice.
- ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler described Luvu’s issue as a minor groin strain that should not require injured reserve and is not expected to be a long-term problem, but his Week 2 status remains uncertain.
- Dorance Armstrong is expected to return to the roster for Week 2 after recovering from a torn ACL and serving a Week 1 suspension, giving the pass rush a reinforcement if he is active.
- Hamstring and groin injuries are soft-tissue problems that often need several days to a week of evaluation and can force players to miss at least one game, so Washington’s depth and game plan for Dallas depend on Wednesday’s practice reports.
