The Washington Commanders' worst fears were confirmed, and they will be without their top-three wide receivers for a crucial Week 7 divisional battle against the Dallas Cowboys.
Noah Brown went to injured reserve. Terry McLaurin is missing his fourth-straight game despite optimism from head coach Dan Quinn earlier in the week. Deebo Samuel Sr., who toughed it out last time out versus the Chicago Bears but was clearly struggling, didn't travel to Dallas with a heel problem.
It's a blow; there is no getting away from that. The Commanders have three healthy wideouts on the active roster — Chris Moore, Luke McCaffrey, and fourth-round rookie Jaylin Lane.
