NFL Week Injury Updates Impact Team Strategies

Washington Commanders' leading rusher, Brian Robinson Jr., was inactive for the game against the New York Giants due to a hamstring injury, despite practicing on a limited basis throughout the week. Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols are expected to take on the rushing responsibilities in his absence. Meanwhile, Jacksonville Jaguars' receiver Thomas is expected to play against the Eagles despite a chest injury, leading a depleted receiving corps after Christian Kirk's season-ending collarbone fracture. In other injury updates, Williams of the Saints was a limited participant in practice due to a groin injury and could serve as Alvin Kamara's backup if Kendre Miller is unavailable. Additionally, Bills' Curtis Samuel is making progress in recovery from a pectoral injury and participated in practice ahead of their game against Miami. These injury updates play a significant role in shaping team strategies for upcoming NFL matchups.
