The Washington Commanders head into their Week 4 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals with several players nursing injuries.

Head coach Dan Quinn ruled out RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) and DE Clelin Ferrell (knee) prior to yesterday’s practice. Both players stayed behind as the team traveled to Arizona after the Bengals game. Ferrell also didn’t make the trip to Cincinnati, while Ekeler suffered a concussion in the third quarter against the Bengals and returned to Virginia for evaluation.

Quan Martin and Benjamin St-Juste were limited in practice yesterday. Martin participated fully today, but St-Juste remained limited due to a chest injury. Both players appeared on last week’s injury report with different ailments but still played in Monday night’s game against the Bengals. Additionally, Sam Cosmi, who missed Wednesday’s practice, was limited today.
