The Commanders placed running back Austin Ekeler on injured reserve.
Ekeler took a nasty hit on a late kickoff return Sunday against the Cowboys. He suffered his second concussion of the season. Ekeler will miss at least four games and Washington still has their bye coming in Week 14, so the earliest Ekeler can return would be Week 18 against the Cowboys, meaning most fantasy leagues will be finished by the time Ekeler comes back. The Commanders will have Brian Robinson available Sunday after he was able to practice this week following his ankle injury Sunday.
The Chargers are placing running back J.K. Dobbins on injured reserve with an MCL sprain.
Dobbins suffered the injury during Monday night’s loss to the Ravens. This is more of a cautionary move from the Chargers to make sure he is healthy for the stretch run and potentially the playoffs. Dobbins will now miss at least the next four games against the Falcons, Chiefs, Buccaneers and Broncos. Gus Edwards is in line to see a majority of the work in Dobbins’ absence. He carried nine times against the Ravens.
Seahawks WRs DK Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) are off the injury report and good to go for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets.

Great news for Geno Smith's floor in Week 13. For the receivers, the Jets should be a tough matchup for them, making Metcalf and JSN lower-end WR2s.
