  • Commanders' Curtis Samuel: Hits century mark in loss

    Samuel caught nine of 12 targets for 100 yards in Thursday's 45-10 loss to the Cowboys.

    The veteran slot receiver was Sam Howell's top option on the day, leading the Commanders in catches, targets and yards as he posted his first 100-yard receiving game since coming to Washington in 2021. Samuel's grabs and targets were also season highs, and it seems safe to say that he's fully recovered from the toe issue that limited him to a 3-11-0 line on eight targets over the prior two contests. He'll look to stay in the spotlight in Week 13 against the Dolphins.

  • Commanders' Jahan Dotson: Five grabs in Dallas

    Dotson caught all five of his targets for 52 yards in Thursday's 45-10

    While Curtis Samuel (12) and Terry McLaurin (11) saw higher target volumes, Dotson was efficient with his looks as he topped 50 receiving yards for only the third time this season. The second-year wideout has been coming on after an awful start to the year, in large part because Sam Howell is consistently attempting more than 40 passes a game, and over the last five weeks Dotson has a 20-252-3 line on 29 targets, although even that productive stretch includes one game in which he didn't catch a pass at all. Dotson may need to come up big in Week 13 if the Commanders are to have a hope of keeping up with the Dolphins.

  • Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Does little with big volume

    McLaurin caught four of 11 targets for 50 yards in Thursday's 45-10 loss to the Cowboys.

    The fourth-year wideout was second on the Commanders in targets behind Curtis Samuel's 12, but McLaurin faced tight coverage all day and couldn't do much with the volume. He nearly had a touchdown on a deep route early in the third quarter when the outcome of the game was still in doubt, but Stephon Gilmore was with him step for step and broke it up. McLaurin has still caught at least four passes in 11 straight games to maintain a steady floor in PPR formats, but he's gone three straight games without topping 50 yards and four straight without getting into the end zone. He'll likely need to come up big in Week 13 if the Commanders are going to keep pace with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins.

  • Commanders' Brian Robinson: Held in check in Thanksgiving loss

    Robinson carried the ball 15 times for 53 yards and caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Thursday's 45-10 loss to the Cowboys.

    The Commanders kept things fairly close in the first half and were only down 20-10, allowing them to keep Robinson involved in the offense, but once things got away from them after the break the running game became an afterthought. The second-year RB also briefly left the contest in the second quarter to get checked for a concussion, but he was cleared to return. After two straight games with over 100 scrimmage yards, Robinson returned to the mediocre production level he's been stuck in most of the season, both due to game script and his own lackluster 4.0 yards per carry average. He'll try to get rolling again in Week 13 against the Dolphins, as the Commanders do their best to keep Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill on the sideline.

  • Commanders' Sam Howell: Tosses 300 yards in loss

    Howell completed 28 of 44 passes for 300 yards and an interception while adding 13 rushing yards and a touchdown on two carries in Thursday's 45-10 loss to the Cowboys.

    The second-year quarterback played relatively mistake-free ball until a desperation drive late in the fourth quarter ended on a pick-six by DaRon Bland. It's the fourth time in the last five games Howell has thrown for at least 300 yards, but that yardage has come on sky-high volume -- he's attempted more than 40 passes in six straight contests and eight of the last nine as the Commanders' offense tries to compensate for its porous defense. That formula doesn't figure to change much in Week 13 against the Dolphins.

  • Commanders' Jonathan Williams: Won't play Thursday

    Williams (coach's decision) is inactive Thursday against the Cowboys.

    Williams was elevated from the practice squad Wednesday as insurance for Antonio Gibson (toe), who was considered questionable to play. However, Gibson will suit up against Dallas and Williams will now be the odd man out in the Commanders' backfield.

  • Commanders' Antonio Gibson: Active in Week 12

    Gibson (toe) is listed as active Thursday in Dallas.

    Gibson didn't practice at all last week before being listed as doubtful and eventually inactive for this past Sunday's game against the Giants. After receiving limited listings on all three Week 12 injury reports, he was deemed questionable for Thursday's game, and the activity was enough for him to be available. Gibson likely will regain his role as the pass-catching complement to the Commanders' No. 1 RB Brian Robinson, though there's a chance rookie sixth-rounder Chris Rodriguez remains in the backfield mix. In 10 appearances this season, Gibson has averaged six touches for 40.6 yards from scrimmage per game and scored two receiving TDs.
