One key Commanders star is going to have to wait to make his return as he will be out against the Eagles.
The Washington Commanders are rolling up on a huge matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16. In taking on their NFC East rivals, they're looking for an opportunity to continue working towards a playoff berth on the season.

They've got to beat the Eagles in their second matchup of the season to boost their chances, though, and they lost the last matchup in Philadelphia.
