Commanders clear Oweh, Chaisson and Croskey-Merritt for Eagles season opener

The Washington Commanders will have edge rushers Odafe Oweh and K’Lavon Chaisson along with running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt available for Sunday’s season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. All three players were limited during practice earlier this week due to calf, knee, and groin injuries respectively. Their return provides Washington with both of its primary offseason defensive acquisitions and its projected starting running back. The Commanders face an Philadelphia offensive line anchored by tackles Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata at Lincoln Financial Field. Washington enters the contest with a backfield that also includes Rachaad White and Kaytron Allen to support quarterback Jayden Daniels. The availability of these three players ensures the team will arrive in Philadelphia with a more complete roster for the opening week of the NFL season.
