The Washington Commanders are one win away from the Super Bowl and while everyone in the NFL wants to play their opposition at its best, getting some help along the way is never a bad thing.

The Commanders were hoping to receive a little help this week in the form of the availability of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, but both players participated in Wednesday's walkthrough, putting them on track to play Sunday.



The Commanders obviously beat a (mostly) Hurts-less Eagles team in a thrilling 36-33 Week 16 matchup that saw Jayden Daniels toss five touchdown passes. Mitchell's injury was certainly a storyline to monitor, too, as he's a finalist for AP Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. Unless there's a setback, both guys should be on the field when the NFC Championship Game kicks off on Sunday afternoon.
