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 hopefuls Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin inch toward returns for Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers as Daniel’s Saturday workout went well and practice plans unfold this week with Wednesday updates anticipated. McLaurin continues Week-to-Week status after a quad injury, with specialists consulted and no surgery planned. Javontae Jean-Baptiste is out with a torn pectoral; Bates and Noah Brown are trending up from groin issues; Sam Cosmi nears a return window. The healthier picture could lift several fantasy pieces in a pivotal game.

Washington Commanders defensive end Javontae Jean-Baptiste may have torn his pectoral and will undergo an MRI, clouding the pass rush depth heading into a critical stretch.

If he misses time, the edge rotation tightens and fantasy upside shifts to the next in line, lifting sacks, hurries, and tackles for fantasy managers who stream Washington's linemen.
