Daron Payne, Logan Thomas miss Wednesday’s practice

The Washington Commanders kicked off their preparation for Week 3 Wednesday with a pair of notable names missing practice.

Defensive tackle Daron Payne and tight end Logan Thomas missed Wednesday’s practice with injuries suffered in Sunday’s win over the Denver Broncos. Thomas being out was expected after he suffered a concussion on an illegal hit in the end zone after a touchdown catch. Thomas was ruled out with a concussion and is in the NFL’s concussion protocol.

Payne injured his leg late in the game and was helped off the field. As trainers looked at Payne, he quickly returned to the game, and there was no real update on his status.

Fortunately for the Commanders, it doesn’t appear to be serious, and the team is simply taking a cautious approach with Payne.

Rookie defensive back Quan Martin, who missed last week with a concussion, practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.

Here is Washington’s full Wednesday injury report:

  • TE Logan Thomas: DNP (concussion)
  • DT Daron Payne: DNP (ankle)
  • DB Quan Martin: Limited (concussion)
  • C Nick Gates: Full (knee)
  • RB Brian Robinson Jr.: Full (hip)
  • WR Curtis Samuel: Full (hip)

The Bills had four players miss Wednesday’s practice. Here is a complete list for both teams.
