CARWR • #5

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Diontae Johnson (ankle/ribs/hamstring) is expected to play in Week 7 against the Commanders.

Johnson was held out of the first two practices of the week with the ankle issue. He has been nursing that injury for a while so a light workload in practice was expected. He returned on Friday but had rib and hamstring issues added to his injury report before being listed as questionable. Head coach Dave Canales downplayed them, saying something “tightened up on him.” Johnson is no stranger to playing through injuries and appears to be good to go for Week 7. He ranks as a volume-based WR2 versus a weak Washington defense.
