Wild Card Weekend is nearly here to kick off the NFL playoffs. The Washington Commanders head south to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a Week 1 rematch.

The Commanders are far from the team they were in the initial matchup, which was a 37-20 contest in favor of the Buccaneers. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has grown plenty for the Commanders, and they finished off their 12-win season with five straight victories.

Ahead of the matchup, Washington getting healthy is a key focus. They've got nine players on their initial injury report before the matchup. Here's how it played out:

Non-partipant:

• TE Zach Ertz, rest
• DE Clelin Ferrell, rest/knee
• OLB Dante Fowler Jr., rest
• WR Terry McLaurin, rest

Limited participant:

• C Tyler Biadasz, ankle
• S Jeremy Chinn, rib
• T Brandon Coleman, knee
• WR Jamison Crowder, hamstring
• T Cornelius Lucas, groin

The injury report is decently long, though all four non-participants will ramp up as the week goes on as they are out for rest. They're getting some much-needed rest prior to a playoff run.

The limited participants are current lingering injuries that shouldn't hold most of the five out of the playoff contest against the Buccaneers.
