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, there are a few key factors to consider. Two important pieces of information that can help bettors make more educated choices are public-betting splits and injury reports. In this article, we will compare the public-betting splits and injury reports for the upcoming game 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 an idea of which team is receiving more support from the betting public. In the case of the Commanders vs Eagles game, the public-betting splits show that the Eagles are currently receiving more bets than the Commanders. This could indicate that more bettors believe the Eagles have a better chance of winning the game.

On the other hand, injury reports provide valuable information about the health and availability of key players on each team. Injuries can have a significant impact on a team’s performance, so it is important for bettors to be aware of any players who may be sidelined or playing through injuries. In this matchup, both teams have key players listed on their injury reports.

For the Commanders, star defensive end Chase Young is listed as questionable with a groin injury. Young is a key player on Washington’s defense, so his availability could have a big impact on the outcome of the game. Additionally, wide receiver Curtis Samuel is also listed as questionable with a groin injury.

On the Eagles side, running back Miles Sanders is listed as questionable with an ankle injury. Sanders is a key part of Philadelphia’s rushing attack, so his availability could also affect the team’s performance. In addition, cornerback Darius Slay is listed as questionable with a concussion.

When considering both the public-betting splits and injury reports for the Commanders vs Eagles game, bettors should take into account all available information 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 their own research and analysis to make the most informed bet possible.
