Washington Commanders receive key injury updates ahead of a trip to Los Angeles to face the Chargers. Jayden Daniels is set to return after a knee sprain, with Marcus Mariota guiding the offense during the absence. Sam Cosmi's activation from PUP adds stability to an offensive line that has shuffled guards early in the season.

Noah Brown, Terry McLaurin and John Bates are all trending upward as they recover from groin and quad injuries. Javontae Jean-Baptiste is on IR, opening the edge for Preston Smith, while Washington's line and run game should benefit from Cosmi back. The Chargers visit Sunday, presenting a test for a unit looking to rebound in fantasy-friendly fashion.

Washington Commanders expect a major upgrade on the offensive line as Sam Cosmi nears a return from ACL surgery. His continued ramp-up could unlock the running game and stabilize pass protection, especially after Nick Allegretti's rough start and Andrew Wylie moving inside. With a three-week activation window, Cosmi’s availability could reshape Washington’s offense and elevate fantasy upside for backfield and receiving options.

Washington’s Week 3 inactives vs. Las Vegas reshape fantasy expectations. Jayden Daniels sits with a knee sprain, so Marcus Mariota will start with Josh Johnson backing him up. Noah Brown and John Bates are out, while Brandon Coleman is inactive despite last-week chatter. Preston Smith was inactive after signing, and Washington will roll out two new guards—Chris Paul at left guard and Andrew Wylie at right guard—as Nick Allegretti’s move to Wylie is finalized.
