Bobby Wagner Will Play In Divisional Round
7 mins agoWashington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said on Thursday that linebacker Bobby Wagner (ankle) will play on Saturday against the hosting Detroit Lions in the Divisional Round despite missing both Tuesday's and Wednesday's practices with an ankle injury. It remains to be seen if Wagner will return to practice on Thursday, but the 34-year-old was able to play every defensive snap in last Sunday night's wild-card win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers despite apparently injuring his ankle in that game. While Wagner may not be 100 percent for this weekend's contest -- not many players at this time of year are 100 percent -- he will be active as the Commanders look to pull the upset in Motown. If Wagner's ankle gives him more issues during the game, Nick Bellore could be asked to play more snaps. In his 13th NFL season, Wagner managed over 100 combined tackles for the 13th time in his career.
