Burks out, Newton active
Washington will be without wide receiver Treylon Burks in Week 9, but defensive tackle Jer’Zhan Newton is active after carrying a questionable designation with a pectoral injury. Burks did not practice Nov. 6 because of a foot injury and is on the game-day inactive list. Newton was a full participant that day. Defensive tackle Shy Tuttle is also active after limited participation with a shoulder injury. Tight end John Bates, who was limited with a shoulder injury, and guard Sam Cosmi, who practiced fully with a knee injury, are active as well.
Daniels practices fully
Quarterback Jayden Daniels recorded full practice participation with an elbow injury. Tackle Josh Conerly Jr. also participated fully with a finger injury, as did tight end Colson Yankoff with a knee injury. Defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. was limited for rest and is active. Wide receiver Stefon Diggs is also active; his practice absence was listed as rest. For fantasy purposes, Burks’ inactive status rules him out as a Week 9 option. Diggs is active despite his missed practice.
Other absences
Quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis, cornerbacks Fabian Moreau and Isaac Yiadom, and guard Tanoa Togiai join Burks on Washington’s game-day inactive list. Wide receiver Dyami Brown was listed out with a calf injury after not practicing and is on injured reserve. Washington’s injured-reserve group also includes receivers Terry McLaurin and Jaylin Lane, defensive tackles Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw, and offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil.
