Commanders elevate Byron Cowart for Week 8 matchup against Eagles

The Washington Commanders have elevated defensive tackle Byron Cowart from the practice squad in preparation for their Sunday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles. This move comes after starting lineman Daron Payne suffered a broken foot in practice, ruling him out for the season. The Commanders will also be without Javon Kinlaw, leaving them with limited options against the Eagles' rushing attack. Jer’Zhan Newton's practice window has been opened, but he is not ready to play yet, as he is ruled out for Sunday. Cowart will make his season debut after not appearing in any games last year.
