The Washington Commanders ruled out wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown on Thursday for their road game Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Both receivers missed a second day of practice on Thursday. McLaurin (quad) sat out last Sunday's game at Atlanta while Brown (groin/knee) has been sidelined for two games.

Also ruled out was guard Sam Cosmi, who tore his ACL in the 2024 NFC divisional playoff game at Detroit and was designated on Wednesday to return to practice. The Commanders have 21 days from that point to return him to the active roster or place him injured reserve for the season.

Wide receiver Deebo Samuel (heel) and cornerback Mike Sainristil (knee) missed their second consecutive day of practice. Linebacker Ale Kaho (concussion) was limited on Thursday after not participating on Wednesday, while defensive tackle Daron Payne (knee) was added to the injury report on Thursday as a limited participant.

Defensive end Dorance Armstrong (illness) and linebacker Nick Bellore (quad/rest) were full participants after sitting out Wednesday's session.

Safety Percy Butler (hip) was limited for the second straight day.

Quarterback Jayden Daniels -- who was cleared to play this week after missing two games because of a knee injury sustained in Week 2 at Green Bay -- was a full participant, as were tight ends John Bates (calf/groin), who also was hurt against the Packers, and Colson Yankoff (ankle).
