Commanders' Jordan Magee: Unlikely for Saturday
Head coach Dan Quinn told reporters Monday that Magee (hamstring) is unlikely to play in Saturday's matchup against the Lions, per Ben Standig of The Athletic.
The rookie linebacker from Temple aggravated a hamstring injury that held him out of Washington's last two regular-season games in Sunday night's win over the Buccaneers. As a result, it's no surprise he isn't expected to suit up for the divisional round. If Magee is unable to play Saturday, the Commanders will be down one of their key special teamers, as he's logged 146 special-teams snaps across eight games this season.

Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Catches three passes for 19 yards
Zaccheaus caught each of his three targets for 19 yards in a 23-20 win at Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Zaccheaus finished second among Washington's wide receivers in snap share (68 percent), slightly ahead of Dyami Brown, who took 58 percent of snaps and caught each of his five targets for 89 yards and a touchdown. Zaccheaus out-produced Brown in each of the final three games of the regular season, catching 15 of 22 targets for 206 yards and three touchdowns during that stretch, so both figure to be involved in the offense during Washington's next playoff game Saturday at Detroit.

Commanders' Austin Ekeler: Takes 11 touches for 53 yards
Ekeler took eight carries for 27 yards and caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win at Tampa Bay.
Ekeler's 11 touches and 47 percent snap share put him slightly behind Brian Robinson, who had 10 carries for 16 yards and four catches for 22 yards (five targets) while playing 53 percent of snaps. Neither RB found much room against a tough Tampa Bay run defense, and they'll now face another one of the NFC's top run-stuffing teams -- at least on paper -- when they head to Detroit in the divisional round. The Lions probably aren't as difficult to run on as many statistics suggest, as they've lost a slew of defenders to season-ending injuries, including DE Aidan Hutchinson (leg) and DT Alim McNeill (knee).

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Meager output in Sunday's win
Ertz had two receptions on four targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 23-20 wild-card round win over the Buccaneers.
Ertz failed to continue the scoring binge he went on in the second half of the regular season, but he still played a vital role in the Commanders advancing to the next round of the playoffs. The veteran tight end's receptions came on successful third- and fourth-down attempts as Washington dominated the time-of-possession game Sunday. Look for Ertz to remain involved as a key safety valve for Jayden Daniels as the sixth-seeded Commanders visit the No. 1-seeded Lions in Saturday's divisional round matchup.

Commanders' Dyami Brown: Career game in playoff win
Brown hauled in all five of his targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay.
Brown got the scoring going for Washington when he brought down a 10-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter of Sunday's wild-card round matchup. The fourth-year pro out of North Carolina tacked on 79 more yards in order to finish with his best receiving line in the Commanders' first playoff appearance since drafting the wideout in 2021. Brown may be asked to continue his elevated role in the divisional round if Washington is forced to keep up with Detroit's high-octane offense.
