Washington Commanders veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner missed practice Tuesday due to an ankle injury.

It is suspected that Wagner sustained the injury during Sunday night’s 23-20 road victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Wagner made a big fumble recovery at the Tampa Bay 13-yard line early in the fourth quarter. It set up a touchdown that gave the Commanders a 20-17 lead.

Wagner also had eight tackles and was credited with a half-sack during Washington’s first postseason victory in 19 years. The nine-time Pro Bowler and six-time first-team All-Pro is in his first season with the Commanders.

Linebacker Jordan Magee (hamstring) also missed practice as Washington prepares for Saturday’s road contest against the top-seeded Detroit Lions in an NFC divisional round game.

Kicker Zane Gonzalez (hip) was limited for the sixth-seeded Commanders. Gonzalez kicked the game-winning 37-yard field goal, which caromed off the right upright and then through the goal posts with no time remaining.

Defensive tackle Daron Payne (finger) and tight end Ben Sinnott (shoulder) were also limited.

The Lions held a walkthrough Tuesday and running back David Montgomery (knee) was considered a full participant. Montgomery has missed the past three games after tearing the MCL in his right knee against the Buffalo Bills on Dec. 15.

“There will be a place for him in this game,” Detroit coach Dan Campbell said of Montgomery. “So, it’s going to be good to get him back.”

Montgomery ranks second on Detroit with 775 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns, behind leading rusher Jahmyr Gibbs (1,412, 16 TDs).

Cornerback Terrion Arnold (foot) also was listed as a full participant. Missing the session were guard Kevin Zeitler (hamstring), defensive lineman Pat O’Connor (calf) and cornerback Ennis Rakestraw Jr. (hamstring/illness).
