Goedert recorded three receptions on three targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 29-18 win over the Commanders.

Goedert took a step back from his involvement in the Eagles' offense relative to the last two games, but he still managed to make a significant impact. His primary contribution came late in the third quarter, when he hauled in a 15-yard touchdown on a long third down. Goedert's target total will likely remain inconsistent moving forward, though he has either 70 receiving yards or a touchdown in three consecutive contests.

Love (head) went to the locker room after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit in the second quarter of Saturday's Week 16 matchup against Chicago, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Love took a helmet-to-hit from the Bears' Austin Booker that drew a roughing-the-passer penalty. After initially being tended to on the field, Love was able to jog off and head to the medical tent, and he subsequently went to the locker room (presumably for further evaluation). Malik Willis has entered the game to take over at quarterback for the Packers.

Welch (ankle) is questionable to return to Saturday night's game against the Bears.

Welch exited the game in the second quarter with an ankle injury, and it is unclear if he will be able to return. The weakside linebacker is primarily a special teamer, and if he is unable to return, Ty'Ron Hopper will likely see an increased amount of special-teams snaps.

Hurts completed 22 of 30 passes for 185 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions in Saturday's 29-18 win over the Eagles. He added seven rushes for 40 yards.

Hurts had an accurate game as a passer, but he worked primarily in short and intermediate areas of the field. Nevertheless, he managed a 24-yard completion to A.J. Brown and also tallied touchdown passes from five and 15 yards away. Hurts also showed some aggression on the ground, logging his highest rushing total since Week 4. He'll draw a tough Week 17 matchup against the Bills, though he has gotten back on track in recent weeks by tallying multiple scores in four of his last five matchups.

Newton (head) exited Saturday's game early and is being evaluated for a possible concussion, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Newton exited with 1:03 remaining in the game, the last play before the Eagles knelt the clock out. The defensive tackle has potentially suffered a concussion, and if he enters the league's concussion protocol, he will need to clear all five steps to be available for the Commanders' Week 17 matchup with the Cowboys.

Cosmi (head) exited Saturday's game against the Eagles and did not return, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Cosmi was unable to return to Saturday's contest after suffering a head injury late in the fourth quarter. The offensive guard's status for Week 17 will depend on his practice participation. The injury to the 26-year-old means the Commanders' offensive line depth gets even thinner, as the team is already without Laremy Tunsil (oblique). Brandon Coleman (shin) also left Saturday's game with an injury.

Coleman (shin) exited Saturday's game against the Eagles in the fourth quarter and did not return, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Coleman was filling in at left tackle for an absent Laremy Tunsil, and the injury the former suffered seems to be significant. The offensive lineman was unable to return to the game, and his status for Week 17 will largely depend on his ability to practice throughout the week.

Johnson completed five of nine passes for 43 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Saturday's 29-18 loss to the Eagles. He also had one rush for zero yards.

Johnson has served as the Commanders' emergency quarterback for much of the season, but he was the backup to Marcus Mariota (hand) for this contest due to Jayden Daniels (elbow) being sidelined. Mariota exited the game for a concussion check and hand injury early in the third quarter, with Johnson stepping in. He was able to move Washington down the field for a touchdown during garbage time late in the fourth quarter, but it would be a significant downgrade for all of the team's skill-position players if Johnson is the starter for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

Barkley rushed the ball 21 times for 132 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 29-18 win over the Commanders. He did not record a catch on two targets.

Barkley topped 100 rushing yards for the third time this season and for the second time in his last three games. He picked up consistent yardage for most of Saturday's matchup, but his performance turned a corner in the fourth quarter. Barkley began his final frame with a 12-yard touchdown run, and he then broke off a 48-yard gain to set up a Philadelphia touchdown two plays later to clinch the victory. His explosive rush was particularly encouraging, as it was only his fourth gain of at least 20 yards on the ground this season.

Moody converted both his one field-goal attempt and one extra-point attempt in Saturday's 29-18 loss to the Eagles.

Moody converted his 19-yard field goal attempt on the Commanders' first drive, and he was only called upon once more in the game, converting an extra-point attempt in the second quarter after a one-yard touchdown run by Jacory Croskey-Merritt. The kicker now moves to 6-of-6 on field-goal attempts and 5-of-6 on extra-point attempts through four games as a Commander.
