The Washington Commanders could be without defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw for their upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Kinlaw injured his knee during a recent loss to the San Francisco 49ers, and head coach Dan Quinn indicated that his availability for Week 8 is in doubt. In positive news, Jer'Zhan Newton, who has been sidelined since August, returned to practice after having his 21-day window activated for a potential return to the 53-man roster.

They will host the Eagles, who are dealing with injuries, including a possible absence of quarterback Jalen Hurts and star running back Saquon Barkley due to his hamstring and back issues.
