Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is set to return to the field for Week 11’s Thursday Night Football game against the Philadelphia Eagles, after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury. Robinson had been sidelined for Washington’s losses to the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers, but it looks like he will be ready to suit up when his team faces off against their NFC East rival. https://twitter.com/commandnation/status/1856838201782181889 Brian Robinson Jr.’s Injury Robinson’s injury first popped up before the Commanders’ Week 9 game against the Giants.

In the Minnesota Vikings’ 12-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10, it wasn’t just the defense that stood out—it was the celebration that followed an electrifying interception by cornerback Camryn Bynum. With less than two minutes remaining in the game, Bynum sealed the win with a pivotal interception off Jaguars quarterback Mac Jones. The play was what had fans on the edge of their seat, but it was the creative celebration that followed that had everyone talking. https://twitter.com/Cambeezy_/status/1855811598297776491 Australian Olympic breakdancer Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn was the subject of the tribute from Bynum, who’s not shy with his enthusiasm on…

Just in time for an NFC East showdown involving the Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys will have Micah Parsons back at his defensive powerhouse. Parsons, who has been out four games with a high left ankle sprain suffered in the Week 4 loss to the New York Giants, is officially healthy enough to come back, though he was initially listed as questionable. Parsons’ competitive spirit hasn’t stopped, and he said, “Once I’m playing, I’m playing. That’s just the competitor in me. I was banged up plenty of times and I’m just like once I’m competing, I’m competing. It’s hard to…

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups Week 10 Quarterbacks QB Daniel Jones, New York Giants Rostered: 11% Believe it or not, Danny Dimes is the fantasy QB3 in Week 9 heading into Monday Night Football, with a season-high 24.36 points against the Commanders.
