Commanders Injury Report: LB Cole Holcomb OUT vs. Colts in Week 8

The Washington Commanders were missing some key players from practice as they prepare for a third straight win.

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Commanders are winners of their last two contests entering Week 8 and have a solid chance to reach .500 going up against the Indianapolis Colts.

After wins against the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers, it's clear the Commanders have the ability to win tight games against good talent. 

But will they have enough of their own talent on the field to continue that trend? 

Here's a look at the health of Washington's roster, as we move towards Sunday afternoon in Indianapolis. 

FRIDAY'S PRACTICE REPORT - GAME DESIGNATION

DID NOT PARTICIPATE

WR Jahan Dotson (Hamstring) - Out

LB Cole Holcomb (Foot) - Out

CB William Jackson III (Back) - Out

TE Cole Turner (Concussion) - Out

LIMITED PARTICIPANT

WR Dyami Brown (Groin) - Questionable

TE Logan Thomas (Calf) - Questionable

RB Jonathan Williams (Knee)

OG Saahdiq Charles (Illness) - Questionable

FULL PARTICIPANT

OT Sam Cosmi (Finger) 

QB Taylor Heinicke (Calf)

DT Jonathan Allen (Rest)

Denotes Change From Previous Day

Coach Ron Rivera said on Thursday, "I'm not anticipating (receiver Jahan Dotson) being there Sunday. It's unfortunate, but he's still tight."

And the promising rookie is indeed out against the Colts along with linebacker Cole Holcomb, cornerback William Jackson III, and tight end Cole Turner.

Dotson hasn't been able to play since injuring his hamstring in Week 4 against the Dallas Cowboys. 

He looked to be trending in the right direction last week toward returning against the Packers but suffered a setback during practice and ultimately had to sit out the contest. 

Asked about his quarterback's calf issue, Commanders defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio (sitting in for coach Ron Rivera Wednesday who was not present while tending to a personal matter) didn't seem overly concerned about the matter.
