  "account": "The Washington Commanders made several roster moves including releasing defensive tackle Jeffrey M’Ba from the practice squad and signing wide receiver Nick DeGennaro and outside linebacker T.J. Maguranyanga to the practice squad. Quarterback Jayden Daniels was questioned about balancing the risks of playing football with the knowledge of potential injuries. The team's wide receiver, Sam Cosmi, returned to practice after recovering from a concussion. There is speculation about the potential of rookie quarterback Jack Plummer, who threw well during a recent workout. The Commanders are optimistic about the return of running backs Jordan Howard and Ekeler, which could have a significant impact on their offense.",
  "summary": "Dan Quinn & Jayden Daniels both said this week that the ball will go to the tight ends, but there’s no reason to force it.",
