Washington Commanders’ Kicker Recovery Ahead of Crucial Match Against Dallas

Austin Seibert, the Washington Commanders‘ kicker, is expected to make his return in Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys, following a two-week absence due to a hip injury, as reported by Commanders head coach Dan Quinn. The injury had previously sidelined Seibert, but he now appears to be «trending in the right way,» according to Coach Quinn.

Seibert has been a limited participant in recent practices, which indicates progress in his recovery. Fantasy football managers and fans of the Commanders are advised to monitor Seibert’s status closely, especially as the team approaches its final preparations on Friday.

During Seibert’s absence, starting duties were taken over by Brian Johnson. Prior to his injury, Seibert was having an impressive season, having successfully completed 25 of his 27 field goal attempts and making all 27 extra-point attempts. His precise kicking has been a significant asset to the Commanders.

This week, Washington’s lineup against the Cowboys will notably lack key players, including cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore, who is out with a hamstring injury, and Emmanuel Forbes. Quarterback Jeff Driskel, linebacker Dominique Hampton, and guard Chris Paul are also listed as inactive.

The upcoming match against the Dallas Cowboys presents an opportunity for the Commanders to capitalize on what some analysts describe as a «struggling» Dallas defense. Seibert’s anticipated return could offer a needed boost to Washington’s point-scoring capabilities.

Ben Standig, a reporter covering the Commanders, listed the inactives for the game, notably highlighting the absence of prominent players in the team’s defensive lineup. The situation poses both a challenge and an opportunity for the Commanders as they seek to exploit weaknesses in their opponents.
