Washington Commanders players Frankie Luvu and Chig Okonkwo missed practice in mid-September due to injuries sustained during a game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Luvu was managing a groin strain, while Okonkwo dealt with a hamstring injury. Other roster changes included linebacker Jordan Magee being placed on injured reserve.

By September 18, head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that both Luvu and Okonkwo would be ruled out for the Week 2 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. To address the absence of Luvu, the team is expected to increase the defensive responsibilities of rookie linebacker Leo Chenal.
