Commanders ruled out TE Logan Thomas for Sunday’s game vs Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: John Bates, Cole Turner

When Thomas left early in Week 2, Bates (18) and Turner (12) would end up running a similar amount of routes, combining for five receptions. Neither of them should be started this week, but Bates would be the better bet for the truly desperate.

Commanders TE Armani Rogers did, in fact, tear his Achilles yesterday, source said following his MRI. He plans to have surgery next week from expert Dr. Robert Anderson and should make a full recovery. But out indefinitely.

Rogers was a 2022 UDFA who had a decent amount of playing time during his rookie year, but didn't get a ton of run at receiver, turning in a 5-64-0 campaign. This may open the door to more playing time for 2022 fifth-rounder Cole Turner, who logged 245 snaps last year, with a majority of those coming in run blocking.

Washington’s game status report for TNF vs Bears:

OUT
WR Jahan Dotson (hamstring)
S Percy Butler (quad)
RT Sam Cosmi (thumb)
TE Logan Thomas (calf)
RB Jonathan Williams (knee)
CB William Jackson (back)

Thomas is dealing with a calf injury and Dotson will miss another game with a hamstring injury. Cam Sims and Dyami Brown are next up, and it was Brown who caught two TDs in Week 5. Given Carson Wentz's up and down play, neither are great options. Curtis Samuel continues to lead the way for the Commanders in the receiving game. John Bates will take over at TE.

Washington activated TE Logan Thomas from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform List.

Now it will be a race to get ready for Week 1. Thomas had a nice year in 2020 before getting hurt in 2021. He caught 72 balls for 670 yards and six TDs. A lot of that production came over the final five weeks, including catches of 9, 6, 13 and 7 from Weeks 12-15. He also collected 44 of his 110 targets during that four-week span. Obviously he was poised for a huge year in 2021 before tearing his ACL. The potential is still there for 2022, assuming he can get back up to speed. He'll have some late-round value as a TE2 with TE1 potential if things go right. If he's not ready, Bates would be next up.

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas faces a longer recovery after further tests revealed a torn ACL, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Thomas is expected to undergo surgery this week and be ready for the start of the 2022 season.

Washington was hoping to get Thomas back if it made the playoffs but that won't be the case as Thomas is now on the IR for the second time this season. Thomas had signed a three-year extension worth up to $24.065 million in August. He caught a career-high 72 passes for 670 yards and six touchdowns in 2020 and became one of the NFL's best red zone targets at tight end.

The Washington Football Team is expected to place TE Logan Thomas (knee) on IR. The extent of his injury is still unknown.

Tough blow for WFT after just getting Thomas back two weeks ago. Look for RSJ and John Bates to see increases in work.

Ron Rivera said they received better than expected news on TE Logan Thomas. Said the tests this morning DID NOT confirm their worst fear, which was a torn ACL.

While the status of Thomas is terms of being a fantasy starter the rest of the year is up in the air, it's potentially great news for Washington and what they hope is a playoff run as they currently sit in the final wild card spot. Thomas will have further evaluation to confirm the true extent of the injury and perhaps a timeline. Seals-Jones was dealing with his own injury leaving Bates as the top TE in Week 11 before Thomas returned in Weeks 12 and 13.

Washington believes TE Logan Thomas tore his ACL and MCL during Sunday’s win over the Raiders.

Thomas will have further testing after the team returns to Washington. If the injury is true, this would be such a tough loss and put a damper on what was a great day as Washington extended their winning streak to four games to get back even at 6-6. Thomas has become one of the better tight ends in the league after making a successful conversion from quarterback. Washington enters a very important five-game homestretch as all of their remaining games are against divisional foes, starting next week against the Cowboys. Washington currently owns the No. 6 seed in the NFC.

Via Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post, J.D. McKissic’s neck was the issue from the collision with Diggs. Despite the cart ride, McKissic was in the locker room post-game walking around, tight end Logan Thomas said.

While head coach Ron Rivera didn’t have an update on McKissic after the game, his agent, Doug Hendrickson, did provide an update through his Twitter account.

“Great game @JdMckissic for @WashingtonNFL. He is all good!” Hendrickson wrote.

McKissic left the field on a cart in the closing minutes after a collision with safety Quandre Diggs. With 3:33 left to play, McKissic caught a pass from Taylor Heinicke and dove to try and pick up a first down. McKissic’s helmet drove straight into the left thigh of Diggs as he was getting to McKissic.

The Washington Football Team will officially add TE Logan Thomas back to the active roster in the next hour. He and WR Curtis Samuel are on track to play tonight, as expected.

Good news for those counting on Thomas in Week 12. The tweet added that both will also be on a pitch counts, so that could hurt Thomas' value a bit. Samuel has played in just two games this year, seeing five targets with four catches for 19 yards.
