Treylon Burks, the Commanders’ wide receiver, just got the green light, moving to full practice participation on Tuesday. This is HUGE for the team looking to bounce back, especially with a Thursday night showdown against the Giants looming.
Burks’s Return Sparks Offense
Burks missed last Sunday’s loss to the Rams with a foot injury, but he’s already back making moves. While it was only a walkthrough, and his “full participation” is an estimated level, it’s still a massive sign for his chances to suit up against the Giants. You know what that means: another weapon back on the field! This season, Burks has already racked up 12 catches for 233 yards and two touchdowns. That kind of production is something the Commanders desperately need for their upcoming game.
Other Injury Updates and Who’s Stepping Up
It’s not all good news on the injury front, though. Center Lucas Patrick is still out with a concussion, and tight end Colson Yankoff is also sidelined for a second straight day because of a knee injury. Tough breaks there, but Head Coach Dan Quinn already confirmed Nick Allegretti will be starting at center on Thursday. Good to see the team has a plan. On the brighter side, a bunch of other guys were full participants, which is exactly what you want to see heading into a short week. Tight end John Bates (shoulder), quarterback Jayden Daniels (left elbow), center Matt Gulbin (knee), tight end Chig Okonkwo (hip), cornerback Amik Robertson (ankle), and defensive lineman Shy Tuttle (shoulder) were all out there in full, ready to roll.
The Commanders are staring down a Thursday night clash against the Giants. Getting Burks back, even if it’s an estimated full participation, could be the jolt this offense needs. Keep an eye on that stat line Thursday night, because a healthy Burks could light it up.
