Commanders vs Eagles Injury Reports

Both teams are in relatively good shape, injury-wise. Washington is slightly worse off with both starting guard Sam Cosmi and starting defensive tackle Daron Payne listed as out.

Cosmi played over 99% of snaps for the Commanders in the regular season and 100% in the Divisional Round victory over Tampa Bay before getting injured in Washington’s thrilling 45-31 upset over the Lions in Detroit. Cosmi helped Washington grade out at sixth overall in rushing offense per PFF.

Payne played 69% of snaps for the Washington defense in the regular season, registering four sacks from the interior of the line along with five tackles-for-loss. The Washington defense isn’t great against the run at the best of times. The team was shredded by Saquon Barkley and the Eagles ground game in both regular-season meetings (439 total rushing yards in two games). The downgrade from Payne, the #13 overall pick in 2018, to backup Sheldon Day, a fourth-rounder in 2016, could be considerable.

On the Philadelphia side, the biggest injury concern is starting center Cam Jurgens, who is listed as questionable with a back injury. Jurgens has taken over 90% of snaps for the Eagles offense over the last two seasons. He missed the first two practices this week before being a limited participant on Friday.

When it comes to making informed decisions on sports betting, two key factors that bettors often consider are public-betting splits and injury reports. In this article, we will compare the public-betting splits and injury reports for the upcoming matchup between the Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Public-betting splits refer to the percentage of bets placed on each team by the general public. This information can give bettors insight into where the public’s money is going and potentially help them make more informed decisions. In the case of the Commanders vs. Eagles matchup, the public-betting splits currently show that a majority of bets are being placed on the Eagles. This could indicate that the public believes the Eagles have a better chance of winning the game.

On the other hand, injury reports provide valuable information on which players may be sidelined or playing through injuries. For the Commanders, key players like quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and wide receiver Curtis Samuel are currently listed as questionable for the game. On the Eagles side, wide receiver DeVonta Smith and defensive end Derek Barnett are also listed as questionable. These injury reports could have a significant impact on the outcome of the game and should be taken into consideration when placing bets.

When comparing the public-betting splits and injury reports for the Commanders and Eagles, bettors should weigh both factors carefully before making their final decision. While public sentiment may favor the Eagles, injuries to key players on both teams could level the playing field. Ultimately, bettors should conduct thorough research and analysis to make the most informed bets possible.
