The Washington Commanders are preparing for a pivotal Week 12 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys at Northwest Stadium, but injuries could play a significant role in the outcome. As the Commanders look to reclaim their early-season form and remain in the playoff hunt, their injury report highlights key players whose availability may impact their performance.
Washington enters the game with a two-game losing streak, but their playoff aspirations are still alive, especially with the NFC East crown within reach. The team’s path includes matchups against the Cowboys, Tennessee Titans, New Orleans Saints, and a crucial Week 16 rematch against the Eagles. For now, the focus is on turning things around against a struggling Dallas squad.

On the other side, Dallas is facing its own set of challenges. The Cowboys have dropped five consecutive games, and with quarterback Dak Prescott sidelined due to a season-ending hamstring injury, Washington's defense will look to capitalize. Despite Dallas’ struggles, the game promises to be a test for Washington’s offense, which has also been hampered by injuries to quarterback Jayden Daniels. A strong performance in this crucial divisional battle could help set the tone for the rest of the season.
The Commanders will need to shake off their recent inconsistency on offense and defense to keep their playoff dreams alive. A victory over Dallas would not only boost their standing in the NFC East but also reaffirm their position as a contender in the conference. With their remaining schedule offering a blend of winnable games and challenges, Washington must seize every opportunity to solidify their postseason position and reestablish the momentum they enjoyed earlier this season.
