The Washington Commanders are coming off an impressive 38-33 road win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels played well in the victory on Monday night. He will want to build on that success by helping the Commanders extend their two-game winning streak when they face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4.
The Commanders have released their final injury report ahead of Week 4, and many players have been confirmed as out of the game.

Washington Commanders injury report for Week 4
Three Washington Commanders players — RB Austin Ekeler (concussion), DE Clelin Ferrell (knee) and WR Jamison Crowder (calf) — won't play in Sunday's Week 4 matchup against Arizona.
Crowder was included on the injury report late on Wednesday with a calf issue, while Ekeler had a concussion during the Week 4 MNF game against the Bengals.
The five other players on the Commanders' injury list this week are Sam Cosmi (Achilles), Emmanuel Forbers Jr. (thumb), Quan Martin (elbow), Jer'Zhan Newton (foot) and Ben St.-Juste (chest). However, none of them are carrying injury designations for Sunday's game.
Austin Ekeler's injury status
Unfortunately for the Washington Commanders, running back Austin Ekeler, who has had a brilliant start to the season, won't be available this week. Coach Dan Quinn said on Wednesday that Ekeler's concussion will prevent him from playing the Week 4 matchup with the Cardinals.
The veteran running back sustained an ear injury and a concussion during the second half of the Week 3 contest. Because of that, he didn't go to Arizona this week with the team.
Sam Cosmi's injury status
Due to an Achilles injury, right guard Sam Cosmi was unable to practice on Wednesday. However, he returned on Thursday, albeit in a limited capacity. Meanwhile, he informed reporters that he would be ready to play on Sunday.
Cosmi didn't have an injury designation on Washington's final injury report, which was released on Friday, so he should be good enough to play in Week 4.
Emmanuel Forbes' injury status
The Commanders' defense will have additional depth as they get ready to play the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4, thanks to the reactivation of CB Emmanuel Forbes Jr.
Forbes has missed the last two games due to a thumb surgery he underwent after Week 1. He began working out last week in preparation for Week 3, but the team decided to leave him out for the Bengals game.
Forbes is now available for selection after participating fully in the Commanders' three sessions this week in Arizona.
