Team news: Washington Commanders | Page 51

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin took a step in the right direction at practice on Tuesday. McLaurin was listed as a non-participant on Monday’s estimated practice report, but moved up to a limited session with the team back on the field.

McLaurin, who leads the team with 62 catches and 871 receiving yards, is dealing with an ankle injury. McLaurin looks to be trending up for Thursday's game at Dallas.

The Chargers plan to designate RB Austin Ekeler for return from injured reserve this week, per source.

Pelissero said it's not yet clear if he’ll play Sunday against the Bills, but Ekeler will practice for the first time since a significant hamstring injury in Week 4. The designated for return tag means his 21-day window will open. Ballage has been running as the lead back but Ekeler would likely jump right into that role again, making Ballage and Kelley backups.

Washington snap counts vs. Cincy
Offense - 62 snaps
WR
Terry McLaurin: 57 (92%)
Cam Sims: 52 (84%)
Steve Sims: 20 (32%)

Cam Sims caught just two balls for 20 yards while Steve Sims had the team's touchdown, but with those kind of snap totals, bigger fantasy numbers could be in the future for Cam. Week 10 he had a 4-54-0 line and in Week 9 a 3-110-0 line. He's a name to keep an eye on for those needing WR help. You'll likely want to see more consistency before plugging him in lineups.

Eagles HC Doug Pederson told reporters that TE Zach Ertz "needs more time" before he is activated.

Related Players: Dallas Goedert, Richard Rodgers

This frees up Goedert and Rodgers to be tight end plays for another week. If Ertz returns next week, Rodgers fades out of the fantasy picture until another injury happens.

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said he is hopeful that Tevin Coleman, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, Deebo Samuel, Raheem Mostert, Richard Sherman will all be available to play against the Rams on Nov. 29.

Mostert should slide right back in to the main back role when he returns with McKinnon and Coleman as the change of pace, third down backs. Meanwhile at WR, Samuel should return as the team's WR1 and will push Aiyuk, James and Bourne down the depth chart.

The Eagles designated TE Zach Ertz for return from injured reserve, per the wire.

Ertz's 21-day window is now open. Some who follow the team say Ertz has been ready to come back but it remains to be seen if he's activated for Week 11 against Cleveland. Ertz was a popular "do I drop" question on our Discuss Your Team forum before heading to the IR and was underperforming from a fantasy perspective, but it's possible the Eagles use more two-TE sets with Ertz and Goedert. Despite getting back WRs like Alshon Jeffery and Jalen Reagor, the offense struggled against the Giants in Week 10.

HC Vic Fangio said there's a chance Drew Lock might miss game. "It's day-to-day. We will see how he does."

Fangio added in the tweet that "We definitely want Drew to have a good week of a preparation. So that could enter into the equation" as far as a learning curve and if Drew could play without a full week of practice.
