Washington Commanders

Trey Amos CB IR

Injured Reserve

Amos will remain on injured reserve for at least one more week after his 21-day practice window was opened earlier this week. His next chance to suit up will be next Monday night against the 49ers.

Reported: Oct 10

Drake Jackson DE IR

Injured Reserve

Jackson is in line to miss the season if he remains with the Commanders. He played in three games with the team last season, recording three tackles.

Reported: Aug 25

Daron Payne DT IR

Injured Reserve

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Payne will be out long-term with a foot injury suffered in practice. With both Javon Kinlaw (knee) and Payne out, Tim Settle will have a larger role at nose tackle going forward.

Reported: Nov 04

Javon Kinlaw DT IR

Injured Reserve

Washington placed Kinlaw on injured reserve Tuesday, but it wasn't immediately known how much time the knee injury he initially sustained Week 6 would keep him out of commission. Now that Kinlaw has opted for surgery, he'll remain on IR for the Commanders' final 10 games in what amounts to another major hit to the defensive line. Washington also placed nose tackle Daron Payne on IR on Tuesday after he needed surgery to repair a Jones fracture in his left foot.

Reported: Nov 04

Curtis Jacobs LB IR

Injured Reserve

Jacobs was waived/injured Sunday due to an undisclosed issue. He cleared waivers and subsequently reverted to IR. That means Jacobs will need to sit out the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Commanders.

Reported: Sep 01

Javontae Jean-Baptiste LB IR

Injured Reserve

Jean-Baptiste was already ruled out for Monday night's game against the 49ers due to a pectoral injury, which is severe enough for the third-year pro to go on IR. He's required to miss at least four games, so the earliest he is eligible to return is Week 11 against the Bengals on Monday, Nov. 23.

Reported: Oct 19

Jordan Magee LB IR

Injured Reserve

Magee suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 1 loss to Philadelphia. As a result, he was placed on injured reserve and missed the last four contests. Magee can be activated any time in the next 21 days, meaning there's a chance he will suit up Monday night against the 49ers.

Reported: Oct 15

Laremy Tunsil OT IR

Injured Reserve

Tunsil has another check-up in a few weeks, which will give the Commanders a better sense of a potential return timeline in 2026. The offensive tackle is still a ways away from football, but the consistency in his recovery process leaves the door open for an eventual return.

Reported: Oct 28

Jacory Croskey-Merritt RB IR

Injured Reserve

Croskey-Merritt had already been ruled out for Monday's game against the 49ers, but his move to IR ensures that he'll miss at least an additional three contests beyond that. With Croskey-Merritt sidelined through Week 10, Rachaad White looks on track to serve as the Commanders' top option out of the backfield in the interim, while Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols are on hand in complementary roles.

Reported: Oct 19

Jeremy McNichols RB IR

Injured Reserve

McNichols was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, and what coach Dan Quinn described as a "serious mid-foot injury" will keep the running back sidelined for the rest of the 2026 campaign. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) slated to miss at least two more games, the Commanders' current healthy RBs are Rachaad White, Austin Ekeler and Robert Henry.

Reported: Nov 04

Malik Spencer S IR

Injured Reserve

Spencer was waived with an injury designation Tuesday, and he ultimately went unclaimed on waivers. He will now be forced to miss the entire 2026 season while on IR, unless he's able to reach an injury settlement with Washington.

Reported: Aug 26

Quentin Moore TE IR

Injured Reserve

Moore cleared waivers after being waived/injured by the Commanders on Sunday. The tight end will now spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on IR unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Reported: Aug 31

Dyami Brown WR IR

Injured Reserve

Brown will now be forced to miss at least four games after suffering a calf injury during Thursday's practice. With Treylon Burks (foot) also ruled out, Van Jefferson and Luke McCaffrey could see increased usage on offense during Sunday's matchup versus the Rams.

Reported: Nov 07

Jacoby Jones WR IR

Injured Reserve

Jones caught eight passes for 82 yards over three preseason contests with the Commanders. The wide receiver was waived with an injury designation Sunday and cleared waivers. Jones will spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on IR unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Commanders.

Reported: Aug 31

Jaylin Lane WR IR

Injured Reserve

Lane sustained his season-ending ankle injury during the Commanders' Week 4 win against the Colts, and the injury was severe enough for him to stay in London overnight to be monitored and undergo additional tests. His absence has opened the door to more playing time for both Luke McCaffrey and Dyami Brown, and they are both candidates for another bump in playing time after Terry McLaurin tore his patellar tendon during the Commanders' 23-17 loss to the 49ers on Monday.

Reported: Oct 21

Terry McLaurin WR IR

Injured Reserve

The surgery was conducted in New York, and McLaurin has already been ruled out for the remainder of the 2026 season. His availability for the start of the 2027 campaign will also be in question, as the veteran wideout faces a lengthy rehab process. The Commanders will move forward with Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams, Dyami Brown and Treylon Burks atop the wideout depth chart this season.

Wise opened the regular season on the reserve/PUP list due to a quadriceps injury, which prevented him from practicing during training camp. He was cleared to participate in Wednesday's session and was listed as limited. Wise likely needs to log multiple, consecutive full practices before being cleared to play, but the earliest he could make his 2026 regular-season debut is against the Giants on Sunday.

Chenal was carted off the field after suffering the injury, so the latest update is hardly a surprise. While it's too early to speculate, his status for the Week 4 meeting with the Colts is in jeopardy. However, an absence could extend beyond that contest, considering it's a neck injury.

Reported: Sep 27

Tress Way P O

Out

The pectoral injury Way was tending to was never believed to be serious, and he will now be able to get back into action during camp. He's favored to fend off fellow veteran Matt Haack to keep Washington's punting job in 2026.

Reported: Aug 07

Athan Kaliakmanis QB O

Out

The rookie seventh-round pick will continue to operate as Washington's third quarterback behind Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota. Both QBs would need to be forced out of the game for Kaliakmanis to see the field.

Reported: Nov 08

Colson Yankoff TE O

Out

Yankoff did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice after missing Monday with a knee injury. Week 10 will be Washington's first game without the 26-year-old, though the injury is not presumed to be serious. Yankoff has three catches on five targets, for 22 yards through eight games.

Reported: Nov 11

Treylon Burks WR O

Out

Despite logging DNPs Monday and Wednesday, Burks is good to go after getting in a limited session Tuesday. He missed last Sunday's loss to the Rams but figures to return to his role in three-wide sets alongside rookie Antonio Williams and veteran slot man Stefon Diggs, which would push Van Jefferson down the depth chart after he popped up for 5-58-1 receiving against Los Angeles. Burks has produced seven catches for 147 yards on 11 targets over his last two games with Terry McLaurin (knee) sidelined.

Dorance Armstrong DE Q

Questionable

Armstrong was reinstated after serving a one-game suspension Monday, but he now appears to be dealing with a potential knee issue as practice gets underway ahead of Week 2. The linebacker will have two more chances to log a full practice and erase any doubt about his availability for Sunday's matchup with Dallas.

Reported: Sep 16

Byron Cowart DT Q

Questionable

The Commanders hosted Cowart for a workout Monday, and the team liked what they saw out of the 2019 fifth-rounder, who spent most of last season on the Jets' injured reserve due to an ankle injury. Cowart last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the Bears, when he logged 26 tackles (14 solo), including 2.5 sacks, across 15 games.

Reported: Aug 11

Jer'Zhan Newton DT Q

Questionable

Newton has been activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams. The defensive lineman remains questionable with a pectoral injury, but his activation from IR means he will likely suit up for Sunday's contest.

Reported: Nov 07

Shy Tuttle DT Q

Questionable

questionable

Reported: Nov 09

Tim Settle DT Q

Questionable

Settle continues to work through a calf issue that will end up sidelining him for each of the Commanders' first two preseason games. He may be held out of the team's preseason finale against the Ravens on Friday as a precautionary measure to ensure that he's fully healthy for the regular season.

Reported: Aug 22

Max Scharping G Q

Questionable

Scharping tore his ACL while with Pittsburgh last September and ended the year on IR. He appears to be back to health and will get a chance to compete for a depth role along Washington's offensive line.

Frankie Luvu LB Q

Questionable

Luvu was able to overcome a groin injury to play against the Colts in Week 4, when he logged five tackles (one solo) while playing 95 percent of Washington's defensive snaps. The injury caused him to miss the Commanders' two games prior to Week 4, so unless his practice participation gets downgraded over the next two days, Luvu is likely to be available for Sunday's NFC East showdown against the Giants.

Reported: Oct 07

Odafe Oweh LB Q

Questionable

Oweh was limited throughout the team's entire week of practice prior to playing 46 snaps on defense in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Eagles. The linebacker will have two more chances to log a full practice before Washington's matchup with Dallas in Week 2, but he seems likely to be active again.

Reported: Sep 16

Sonny Styles LB Q

Questionable

Styles may have picked up the injury during the Commanders' Week 4 loss to the Colts in London, when he logged eight tackles (four solo) while failing to play more than 80 percent of the team's defensive snaps for the first time this season. The rookie first-rounder will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's NFC East tilt against the Giants.

Reported: Oct 07

Jayden Daniels QB Q

Questionable

Daniels has missed the last two games due to a dislocated left elbow, but head coach Dan Quinn told Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site on Monday that the quarterback likely will be a full participant this week with the intent to start Sunday against the Giants. Wednesday's practice report ultimately will reveal Daniels' activity level to begin Week 5 prep.

Reported: Oct 07

Marcus Mariota QB Q

Questionable

Mariota was unavailable for the Commanders' past two games due to a sprained MCL in his right knee, but the veteran quarterback benefited from the team's Week 7 bye and could be back in the mix for Sunday's contest against the Eagles. Athan Kaliakmanis has been filling in as Jayden Daniels' understudy but will drop to third on the depth chart once Mariota is cleared to play.

Reported: Oct 26

Austin Ekeler RB Q

Questionable

Among those in the Commanders backfield, Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) didn't practice to begin Week 6 prep, Ekeler endured practice restrictions, and Jeremy McNichols (quadriceps, IR) was full, leaving just Rachaad White as a healthy body on the active roster. Since re-signing with Washington in late September, Ekeler has received nine touches across two games, which he turned into 54 yards from scrimmage. If Croskey-Merritt ends up sitting out Monday's contest at San Francisco and McNichols remains on injured reserve, Ekeler, assuming he's active, will be in line for increased work alongside White.

Reported: Oct 15

Rachaad White RB Q

Questionable

White was sidelined all of last week before missing this past Sunday's game versus the Colts in London while dealing with a shoulder injury. He maintained his activity level from Wednesday, as did fellow RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin). With the Commanders waiving rookie Kaytron Allen on Thursday, the team currently has just Croskey-Merritt, White and Austin Ekeler at the position on the active roster.

With Chig Okonkwo back from his hamstring injury last Sunday against the Colts, Sinnott logged just 24 of 64 offensive snaps and wasn't targeted in the passing game. Lightyears from fantasy relevance, Sinnott has one catch for six yards across four appearances this season.

Reported: Oct 07

Chig Okonkwo TE Q

Questionable

Okonkwo appears to have been hurt in Sunday's loss to the Rams, though he logged his usual offensive snap share (74 percent) and finished with s solid 6-57-0 receiving line on seven targets. The Commanders didn't actually practice Monday, so the tight end's level of activity -- if any -- Tuesday should provide more clarity about whether he's at risk of missing Thursday's clash against the Giants. Washington has been hurt by injuries to its wideout corps, and Okonkwo has stepped up with 57 or more receiving yards in three of the team's past four games.

Stefon Diggs WR Q

The Commanders ended up listing hand and hamstring issues in addition to rest, the latter of which is the likeliest reason for his absence because Diggs is expected to be a full participant Thursday. With Terry McLaurin (knee) out for the season, Diggs will be on the receiving end of plenty of targets from QB Jayden Daniels as long as Diggs is able to suit up on game days.

Reported: Oct 28

Colson Yankoff TE O

Out

Yankoff did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice after missing Monday with a knee injury. Week 10 will be Washington's first game without the 26-year-old, though the injury is not presumed to be serious. Yankoff has three catches on five targets, for 22 yards through eight games.

Treylon Burks WR O

Out

After sitting out the Commanders' Week 9 loss to the Rams, Burks was listed as a non-participant to kick off Week 10 prep but was able to take a step forward in terms of activity during Tuesday's session. The wideout's availability for Thursday's game against the Giants remains murky, but if he's able to turn in another limited practice Wednesday, he'll stand a good chance at taking a questionable tag into the contest. Burks has drawn exactly five targets in each of his last three appearances, and he could end up holding down a top-three role in the Commanders' wideout corps for the rest of the season while Washington is without Terry McLaurin (knee).

Chig Okonkwo TE Q

Questionable

Okonkwo appears to have been hurt in Sunday's loss to the Rams, though he logged his usual offensive snap share (74 percent) and finished with s solid 6-57-0 receiving line on seven targets. The Commanders didn't actually practice Monday, so the tight end's level of activity -- if any -- Tuesday should provide more clarity about whether he's at risk of missing Thursday's clash against the Giants.

Treylon Burks WR O

Washington didn't actually practice Monday, so Burks' participation -- or lack thereof -- Tuesday should be more useful in providing insight into the wideout's chance of suiting up Thursday against the Giants. Burks didn't play this past Sunday in a loss to the Rams after sitting out practice all of last week. Terry McLaurin (knee) is out for the season, and Dyami Brown (calf) landed on IR on Saturday, so Burks will likely have a prominent role in the Commanders' passing game Sunday if he's able to suit up.

Jer'Zhan Newton DT Q

Questionable

Newton has been activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams. The defensive lineman remains questionable with a pectoral injury, but his activation from IR means he will likely suit up for Sunday's contest.

Dyami Brown WR O

Out

Brown appears to have suffered a significant calf injury during Friday's practice. Commanders GM Adam Peters said the injury "doesn't look great." Brown signed with Washington over the offseason and has caught nine of 16 targets for 94 yards through 7 games.

Treylon Burks WR O

Out

With Burks out and Dyami Brown (calf) injured in Friday's practice, the Commanders could be digging even deeper into their depth at wide receiver after Terry McLaurin suffered a season-ending knee injury two weeks ago. Look for Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams to be every-down wideouts against Los Angeles.

Dyami Brown WR Q

Questionable

questionable

Treylon Burks WR Q

Questionable

Burks is mimicking his practice regimen from a week ago, when he kicked it off with back-to-back DNPs due to a foot issue. If he follows last week's regimen, he'll be limited Friday and enter the weekend listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams. While playing through the injury this past Sunday against the Eagles, he tallied a 68 percent snap share and recorded three catches (on five targets) for 81 yards.

Daron Payne DT IR

Injured Reserve

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Payne will be out long-term with a foot injury suffered in practice. With both Javon Kinlaw (knee) and Payne out, Tim Settle will have a larger role at nose tackle going forward.

Javon Kinlaw DT IR

Injured Reserve

Washington placed Kinlaw on injured reserve Tuesday, but it wasn't immediately known how much time the knee injury he initially sustained Week 6 would keep him out of commission. Now that Kinlaw has opted for surgery, he'll remain on IR for the Commanders' final 10 games in what amounts to another major hit to the defensive line. Washington also placed nose tackle Daron Payne on IR on Tuesday after he needed surgery to repair a Jones fracture in his left foot.

Jeremy McNichols RB IR

Injured Reserve

McNichols was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, and what coach Dan Quinn described as a "serious mid-foot injury" will keep the running back sidelined for the rest of the 2026 campaign. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) slated to miss at least two more games, the Commanders' current healthy RBs are Rachaad White, Austin Ekeler and Robert Henry.

Jer'Zhan Newton DT IR

Injured Reserve

Newton remains on injured reserve after his 21-day practice window was opened last week. He's closing in on a return to the lineup and is needed even more now that Javon Kinlaw (knee) and Daron Payne (toe) are on injured reserve.

The 30-year-old is still seeking further medical opinions, so a formal timeline for McNichols' recovery hasn't yet been established. In response to McNichols' injury, Washington claimed Robert Henry off waivers from Seattle on Tuesday to bolster their depth at running back behind Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler.

McNichols is scheduled to undergo further testing Tuesday before the Commanders provide an updated diagnosis, but the 30-year-old looks like he could be at risk of missing time, if not requiring a stint on injured reserve. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) already on IR and in line to miss at least two more games, the Commanders may need add backfield depth behind Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler in the coming days. In addition to the possibility of adding a free-agent running back, the Commanders also have Devin Neal and Craig Reynolds on the practice squad.

Treylon Burks WR Q

Questionable

Burks sustained the foot injury during the Commanders' previous game Oct. 19 against the 49ers and doesn't appear to be back to 100 percent health, even with the benefit of a Week 7 bye. The wideout managed just two limited practice sessions this week en route to taking a designation into the weekend, but he looks to have shown enough to put himself on a path to play. Confirmation on Burks' status will arrive when Washington posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, and assuming he's cleared to play, the 26-year-old could be in line for extra opportunities in the passing game after top wideout Terry McLaurin (knee) went down with a season-ending injury against San Francisco.

Daron Payne DT O

Out

After Payne was injured Friday, he was quickly ruled out for Sunday's clash against Philadelphia. It turns out the veteran nose tackle is dealing with a Jones fracture, which will prevent him from playing again this season. Payne had played at least 15 regular-season games in each of his first eight NFL campaigns, but he'll finish 2026 with 14 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble over just six matchups. He's slated to be a free agent after the season, so he may have played his final game with the Commanders.

Jer'Zhan Newton DT IR

Injured Reserve

Newton was a limited practice participant in all three Week 8 sessions, but he's not quite ready to be activated from injured reserve. He opened the regular season on the Commanders' IR after undergoing surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle in August, and his next chance to play is Week 9 against the Rams on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Javon Kinlaw DT O

Kinlaw injured his knee in Week 6 against the 49ers, and even with the Week 7 bye, the veteran defensive end was not expected to be cleared to play in Sunday's NFC East tilt. Charles Omenihu, Deatrich Wise and Shy Tuttle are all in line for more defensive snaps in the absence of Kinlaw, whose next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Rams on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Jer'Zhan Newton DT IR

Injured Reserve

Newton opened the regular season on injured reserve after undergoing surgery in August to repair a torn pectoral muscle. He was cleared to return to practice Wednesday and was limited in all three Week 8 sessions. Newton would need to be activated from IR on Saturday in order to be available to make his 2026 regular-season debut Sunday.

John Bates TE Q

Questionable

Bates missed each of the first two practices of Week 8 prep while tending to a shoulder injury, but he was on the field with a non-contact jersey Friday as a limited participant, per Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C.. Colson Yankoff and Ben Sinnott would both be in line for more offensive snaps if Bates is not cleared to play in Sunday's NFC East tilt.

Terry McLaurin WR IR

Injured Reserve

The surgery was conducted in New York, and McLaurin has already been ruled out for the remainder of the 2026 season. His availability for the start of the 2027 campaign will also be in question, as the veteran wideout faces a lengthy rehab process. The Commanders will move forward with Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams, Dyami Brown and Treylon Burks atop the wideout depth chart this season.

Treylon Burks WR Q

Questionable

Burks returned to practice Friday, getting in a limited session, and he at least has a chance to suit up against Philly. With Terry McLaurin (knee) out for the season, Burks is going to have a little runway for playing time alongside Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams and Dyami Brown at wide receiver moving forward.

John Bates TE Q

Questionable

Bates has been a spectator for the Commanders' first two Week 8 practices and will need to get back on the field in some capacity to put himself in position to play Sunday against the Eagles. The sixth-year tight end has played at least 30 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the Commanders' first six games, mainly serving as a blocking specialist while recording five receptions for 27 yards on six targets.

Nick Allegretti G Q

Questionable

questionable

Treylon Burks WR Q

Questionable

Burks was limited in Wednesday's practice, and it's unclear if his 'DNP' a day later was maintenance-related or the result of a setback. If Burks is available Sunday against the Eagles, he'll have an opportunity to make an impact in a Washington WR corps that has lost receiving yardage leader Terry McLaurin to a season-ending knee injury.

Javon Kinlaw DT D

Doubtful

Kinlaw injured his knee during the first half of the Commanders' Week 6 loss against the 49ers. He had additional time to recover thanks to the Week 7 bye, but it looks like the veteran defensive lineman will not play in Sunday's NFC East tilt. Charles Omenihu (groin/ankle), Shy Tuttle and Deatrich Wise would all be in line for more defensive snaps if Kinlaw is indeed ruled out.

Jer'Zhan Newton DT IR

Injured Reserve

Newton underwent surgery for a torn pectoral back in August, but it now looks like he's close to being fully recovered. His activity at practice during the week will be worth keeping an eye on as Washington prepares for a Week 8 contest versus the Eagles.

With Terry McLaurin (knee) out for the season, Diggs will be on the receiving end of plenty of targets from QB Jayden Daniels as long as Diggs is able to suit up on game days.

Terry McLaurin WR IR

Injured Reserve

McLaurin's move to IR was merely a formality, as the 31-year-old wideout was recently diagnosed with a torn patellar tendon in his left knee that will require season-ending surgery. The transaction clears a spot on the 53-man roster for fellow wideout Van Jefferson, whom the Commanders signed off their practice squad.

Treylon Burks WR Q

Questionable

Burks was injured toward the end of Washington's Week 6 loss to the 49ers two Monday nights ago, but he was at least able to get in a limited session coming out of the bye week. With Terry McLaurin (knee) done for the year, Burks is expected to take on a larger role, along with rookie Antonio Williams, behind Stefon Diggs (hand) at wide receiver.

Marcus Mariota QB Q

Questionable

Mariota was unavailable for the Commanders' past two games due to a sprained MCL in his right knee, but the veteran quarterback benefited from the team's Week 7 bye and could be back in the mix for Sunday's contest against the Eagles. Athan Kaliakmanis has been filling in as Jayden Daniels' understudy but will drop to third on the depth chart once Mariota is cleared to play.

Jaylin Lane WR IR

Injured Reserve

Lane sustained his season-ending ankle injury during the Commanders' Week 4 win against the Colts, and the injury was severe enough for him to stay in London overnight to be monitored and undergo additional tests. His absence has opened the door to more playing time for both Luke McCaffrey and Dyami Brown, and they are both candidates for another bump in playing time after Terry McLaurin tore his patellar tendon during the Commanders' 23-17 loss to the 49ers on Monday.

McLaurin, who is under contract with Washington through 2028, finishes the season with 230 receiving yards and a touchdown on 15 receptions over five games.

With Croskey-Merritt sidelined through Week 10, Rachaad White looks on track to serve as the Commanders' top option out of the backfield in the interim, while Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols are on hand in complementary roles.

Javon Kinlaw DT Q

Questionable

Kinlaw is done for the night after picking up a knee injury in the first half. He had previously dealt with a shoulder issue last month. In Kinlaw's absence, Shy Tuttle and Deatrich Wise should be in line for increased playing time for the remainder of Monday's game.

Javontae Jean-Baptiste LB IR

Injured Reserve

Jean-Baptiste was already ruled out for Monday night's game against the 49ers due to a pectoral injury, which is severe enough for the third-year pro to go on IR. He's required to miss at least four games, so the earliest he is eligible to return is Week 11 against the Bengals on Monday, Nov. 23.

Marcus Mariota QB O

T.J. Maguranyanga DE O

inactive

Tanoa Togiai G O

Charles Omenihu DE O

Out

This will be Omehihu's second straight absence after he was injured early against Indianapolis in Week 4. The Commanders are on bye next week, so the veteran defensive end will look to return in Week 8 against Philadelphia. Javon Kinlaw (ankle/knee) is questionable for Monday's contest, so Washington may need to lean more on Shy Tuttle and/or Deatrich Wise.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt RB O

Out

Croskey-Merritt was unable to practice all week due to a groin injury, and he's now been officially ruled out for Monday night's game. The statuses of Rachaad White (shoulder) and Austin Ekeler (chest) will be known once the Commanders announce their injury designations on Saturday's practice report. Washington is on a bye for Week 7, so Croskey-Merritt will have more time to recover from his injury before the Commanders' Week 8 tilt against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Javontae Jean-Baptiste LB O

Out

Jean-Baptiste didn't practice at all this week, so it's not a surprise that he won't play Monday. Per Reed, head coach Dan Quinn expects rookie Joshua Josephs to see more playing time Week 6, with both Jean-Baptiste and Charles Omenihu (groin/ankle) sidelined.

Jeremy McNichols RB IR

Injured Reserve

McNichols was a full practice participant this week but remains on injured reserve, though the Commanders could still choose to activate him ahead of Monday night's contest. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (foot) out, the Commanders could use McNichols as depth alongside Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler.

Marcus Mariota QB O

Out

As expected, Mariota will miss a second consecutive game due to a sprained MCL in his right knee, which he picked up during the Commanders' Week 4 loss to the Colts in London. Rookie seventh-rounder Athan Kaliakmanis will once again serve as Washington's backup quarterback behind Jayden Daniels for Monday night's game. The Commanders are on a bye for Week 7, so Mariota could be back in action for Week 8 against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Nick Cross S Q

Questionable

questionable

Stefon Diggs WR Q

Questionable

Diggs ended the week with back-to-back limited practices, which was enough for him to draw the questionable tag for Monday Night Football. Diggs did not play in Week 5 against the Giants, but if he's cleared to play against the 49ers, then it would be the first time that he, Terry McLaurin and Jayden Daniels are on the field together since Week 2 against the Cowboys. If Diggs does not play, then Antonio Williams and Treylon Burks would both operate in elevated roles offensively behind McLaurin.

Javon Kinlaw DT Q

Questionable

questionable

Jeremy McNichols RB IR

Injured Reserve

McNichols has opened Week 6 prep with back-to-back full practices, which indicates that the veteran running back is in the final stages of his recovery from a quad injury that caused him to open the regular season on injured reserve. He would need to be activated from IR in order to be eligible to play against the 49ers on Monday. McNichols' return could be a crucial one for the Commanders, whose backfield is dealing with injuries to Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin), Rachaad White (shoulder) and Austin Ekeler (chest).

Lucas Patrick G Q

Questionable

questionable

Austin Ekeler RB Q

Questionable

Among those in the Commanders backfield, Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) didn't practice to begin Week 6 prep, Ekeler endured practice restrictions, and Jeremy McNichols (quadriceps, IR) was full, leaving just Rachaad White as a healthy body on the active roster. Since re-signing with Washington in late September, Ekeler has received nine touches across two games, which he turned into 54 yards from scrimmage. If Croskey-Merritt ends up sitting out Monday's contest at San Francisco and McNichols remains on injured reserve, Ekeler, assuming he's active, will be in line for increased work alongside White.

Fabian Moreau CB Q

Questionable

questionable

Jacory Croskey-Merritt RB Q

Questionable

Croskey-Merritt logged two limited practices during Week 5 prep due to a groin issue and still suited up this past Sunday against the Giants, turning his 11 carries into 82 yards and one touchdown. As a result, his absence Thursday could be more for maintenance than anything, but his status nonetheless will be watched closely in advance of Monday's game at San Francisco.

Javontae Jean-Baptiste LB Q

Questionable

questionable

Jeremy Reaves S Q

Questionable

questionable

Jordan Magee LB IR

Injured Reserve

Magee suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 1 loss to Philadelphia. As a result, he was placed on injured reserve and missed the last four contests. Magee can be activated any time in the next 21 days, meaning there's a chance he will suit up Monday night against the 49ers.

Quan Martin S Q

Questionable

questionable

Stefon Diggs WR Q

Questionable

Diggs sat out Washington's Week 5 tie against the Giants, and he won't participate in the Commanders' first practice ahead of Monday's Week 6 matchup against the 49ers. The veteran wide receiver gets the benefit of an extra day to recover from his hamstring injury, but his fantasy managers could face a difficult decision with few replacements available if Diggs' availability isn't clarified one way or another by the time Washington releases game statuses Saturday.

Terry McLaurin WR Q

Questionable

McLaurin sat out the Commanders' Week 4 matchup with the Colts in London due to a hamstring injury, which capped him to one limited practice during Week 5 prep. He was able to play this past Sunday against the Giants, when he handled a 57 percent snap share and gathered in all four targets for 62 yards. With a capped session already to begin this week, McLaurin appears to be in a better spot, health-wise, than he was a week ago, while fellow WR Stefon Diggs continued to sit out due to his own hamstring issue.

Treylon Burks WR Q

Questionable

After being a healthy scratch in Week 1, Burks has been active and increased his snap share in each of the ensuing four contests, a span in which he combined for a 5-86-2 line on 11 targets. While Burks and No. 1 WR Terry McLaurin (hamstring) both opened Week 6 prep with capped sessions, Stefon Diggs (hamstring) was held out entirely Thursday. If Diggs requires another absence Monday at San Francisco and Burks is active, the latter again should be a regular option for QB Jayden Daniels in the passing game.

Jeremy McNichols RB IR

Injured Reserve

McNichols remains on injured reserve, so his next chance to suit up will be in Week 6 against the 49ers on Monday night. The Commanders will continue to roll with Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White, Austin Ekeler and special-teamer Craig Reynolds out of the backfield.

Trey Amos CB IR

Injured Reserve

Amos will remain on injured reserve for at least one more week after his 21-day practice window was opened earlier this week. His next chance to suit up will be next Monday night against the 49ers.

Charles Omenihu DE O

Out

Omenihu couldn't practice all week due to groin and ankle injuries, which he picked up against the Colts in Week 4. Shy Tuttle will be the Commanders' top reserve option at defensive end behind Tim Settle and Javon Kinlaw in the absence of Omenihu, whose next chance to play is Week 6 against the 49ers on Monday, Oct. 19.

Jeremy McNichols RB IR

Injured Reserve

The Commanders opened McNichols' 21-day practice window to return from IR on Wednesday. The running back logged limited practices throughout Week 5 prep and remains questionable for Sunday's game. The team still has over two weeks to ramp up the 30-year-old's practice participation before it must make a decision about his status for the remainder of the 2026 season.

Marcus Mariota QB O

Out

Mariota was held out of practice all week while recovering from a sprained MCL in his right knee that he suffered against the Colts in Week 4. The good news for the Commanders is that Jayden Daniels (left elbow) has been cleared to return for Week 5, and with Mariota sidelined, rookie seventh-rounder Athan Kaliakmanis will operate as the backup QB behind Daniels. The next opportunity for Mariota to return is Week 6 against the 49ers on Monday, Oct. 19.

Nick Cross S O

Out

Cross was a full participant in Wednesday's practice but downgraded to limited for the Thursday and Friday sessions. The safety appears to have contracted a significant illness and will be unable to suit up for Sunday's game. Quan Martin is the sole active safety for Week 5 outside of starting free safety Jeremy Reaves.

Percy Butler S O

Out

Butler was unable to practice all week due to a hamstring injury, which he likely picked up during the Commanders' Week 4 loss to the Colts in London. Nick Cross (illness) and Tyler Owens (hamstring) have also been ruled out, leaving Jeremy Reaves and Quan Martin as the lone healthy safeties on the Commanders' 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's NFC East tilt.

Stefon Diggs WR O

Out

With Diggs having already missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, his continued absence leaves his status for Sunday's game against the Giants in question. Teammate Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is also uncertain, though he's reportedly present for the start of practice Friday.

Terry McLaurin WR Q

Questionable

McLaurin returned to a limited practice Friday, and he was given a tag of questionable heading into the weekend. The star wideout didn't play last Sunday against Indianapolis in London, but Fowler relays that the Commanders "are hoping to have" him available in Week 5. Stefon Diggs (hamstring) already has been ruled for Sunday, so getting McLaurin back on the field would be a big boost to Washington's passing game, which is slated to be led by Jayden Daniels for the first time since Week 2.

Trey Amos CB IR

Injured Reserve

The Commanders opened Amos' 21-day practice window ahead of Wednesday's session. The cornerback was a limited participant in all three practices as he works back from his ankle injury. There is a chance the 24-year-old could return to the active roster for the Week 5 matchup with the Giants, but it would not be surprising if the team held off on returning Amos to the active roster until at least Week 6.

Tyler Owens S O

Out

A hamstring injury prevented Owens from practicing all week, and his next chance to play is Week 6 against the 49ers on Monday, Oct. 19. Given that Owens, Nick Cross (illness) and Percy Butler (hamstring) have all been ruled out, the only healthy safeties on the Commanders' roster are Jeremy Reaves and Quan Martin.

Charles Omenihu DE O

Out

Omenihu suffered a groin injury during Sunday's loss to the Colts. However, he seemingly picked up an ankle injury as well, increasing his odds of missing Sunday's divisional clash with the Giants. If Omenihu isn't out there in Week 5, Shy Tuttle will be in line for more snaps.

Chig Okonkwo TE Q

Questionable

Okonkwo is one of three prominent pass catchers dealing with hamstring injuries for the Commanders, along with wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs. While McLaurin and Diggs have both been unable to practice in any capacity, Okonkwo has put forth two limited sessions to begin Week 5 prep ahead of Sunday's game against the NFC East rival Giants.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt RB Q

Questionable

Croskey-Merritt maintained his activity level from Wednesday as he tends to a groin injury. Friday's practice report may provide clarity on his status ahead of Sunday's contest against the Giants. Through four games this season, Croskey-Merritt boasts 197 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on 61 touches.

Jeremy McNichols RB IR

Injured Reserve

The Commanders opened McNichols' 21-day practice window to be activated from IR on Wednesday, but it's still up in the air whether that activation will happen ahead of Sunday's game versus the Giants. He'll likely at least have to manage a full practice before returning to game action, and Friday will be his last chance to do that for Week 5.

Nick Cross S O

Out

Cross was able to manage a full practice despite being sick Wednesday, but he's now trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's game versus the Giants. He'll probably need to practice in full again Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Rachaad White RB Q

Questionable

White was sidelined all of last week before missing this past Sunday's game versus the Colts in London while dealing with a shoulder injury. He maintained his activity level from Wednesday, as did fellow RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin). With the Commanders waiving rookie Kaytron Allen on Thursday, the team currently has just Croskey-Merritt, White and Austin Ekeler at the position on the active roster.

Stefon Diggs WR Q

Questionable

Though he didn't mix into drills, Diggs was present for the open portion of Thursday's practice and was seen working out off to the side under the supervision of trainers, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. Washington also listed fellow receiver Terry McLaurin (hamstring) as a non-participant, giving him and Diggs just one more chance apiece to practice this week before the Commanders potentially make rulings on both players ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants. Currently, Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks, Dyami Brown and Luke McCaffrey are the healthy options at the position on Washington's active roster.

Terry McLaurin WR Q

Questionable

McLaurin thus has just one more opportunity to mix into drills this week before the Commanders potentially make a call on his status ahead of Sunday's game versus the Giants. Both he and Stefon Diggs (hamstring) haven't practiced so far this week, meaning Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks, Dyami Brown and Luke McCaffrey are the current healthy wide receivers on Washington's active roster.

Ben Sinnott TE Q

Questionable

With Chig Okonkwo back from his hamstring injury last Sunday against the Colts, Sinnott logged just 24 of 64 offensive snaps and wasn't targeted in the passing game. Lightyears from fantasy relevance, Sinnott has one catch for six yards across four appearances this season.

Chig Okonkwo TE Q

Questionable

In two games this season, Okonkwo has four catches for 21 yards on seven targets. He's not a recommended fantasy starter at tight end until he shows more upside or a stable floor in the box score.

Deatrich Wise Jr. DE O

Out

Wise opened the regular season on the reserve/PUP list due to a quadriceps injury, which prevented him from practicing during training camp. He was cleared to participate in Wednesday's session and was listed as limited. Wise likely needs to log multiple, consecutive full practices before being cleared to play, but the earliest he could make his 2026 regular-season debut is against the Giants on Sunday.

Frankie Luvu LB Q

Questionable

Luvu was able to overcome a groin injury to play against the Colts in Week 4, when he logged five tackles (one solo) while playing 95 percent of Washington's defensive snaps. The injury caused him to miss the Commanders' two games prior to Week 4, so unless his practice participation gets downgraded over the next two days, Luvu is likely to be available for Sunday's NFC East showdown against the Giants.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt RB Q

Questionable

The Commanders have a lengthy injury report Wednesday, including their starting running back. Croskey-Merritt is dealing with a groin injury as the Commanders prepare to host the Giants, but he was at least able to get some work in. Fellow running back Rachaad White (shoulder) also logged a limited session.

Jayden Daniels QB Q

Questionable

Daniels has missed the last two games due to a dislocated left elbow, but head coach Dan Quinn told Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site on Monday that the quarterback likely will be a full participant this week with the intent to start Sunday against the Giants. Wednesday's practice report ultimately will reveal Daniels' activity level to begin Week 5 prep.

Jeremy McNichols RB IR

Injured Reserve

McNichols injured his quad during training camp in mid-August, and the injury was severe enough for the veteran running back to open the regular season on injured reserve. He's progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice, though he'll likely need to log multiple full sessions before being the green light to be activated from IR. The Commanders currently have four running backs on the 53-man roster: Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin), Rachaad White (shoulder), Austin Ekeler and rookie sixth-rounder Kaytron Allen.

Marcus Mariota QB D

Doubtful

With Washington declining to place Mariota on injured reserve, the veteran quarterback appears set to avoid a long-term absence after aggravating his previously-injured knee in last Sunday's loss to the Colts. Jayden Daniels (elbow) is expected to start Sunday's game against the Giants.

Nick Allegretti G Q

Questionable

questionable

Percy Butler S Q

Questionable

questionable

Rachaad White RB Q

Questionable

After missing Week 4 with a shoulder injury, White is trending in the right direction. He wasn't a full-go Wednesday but was able to practice in a limited fashion. His status becomes all the more important now that Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) was limited to begin the week.

Sonny Styles LB Q

Questionable

Styles may have picked up the injury during the Commanders' Week 4 loss to the Colts in London, when he logged eight tackles (four solo) while failing to play more than 80 percent of the team's defensive snaps for the first time this season. The rookie first-rounder will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's NFC East tilt against the Giants.

Stefon Diggs WR Q

Questionable

Diggs wasn't spotted on the field during the portion of Wednesday's session open to the media, and now the reason for his absence is known. Both he and fellow WR Terry McLaurin weren't able to mix into drills to begin Week 5 prep due to hamstring issues, leaving massive question marks for the state of the Commanders' passing game ahead of Sunday's contest against the Giants. Practice reports Thursday and Friday ultimately will be telling for the statuses of McLaurin and Diggs.

Terry McLaurin WR Q

Questionable

McLaurin will work off to the side during Wednesday's practice after he suffered the hamstring injury in practice last week before missing Sunday's loss to the Colts in London. With McLaurin out against Indy, Antonio Williams was the biggest winner from a playing time standpoint, running 30 routes on 41 dropbacks while seeing eight targets. All three of Williams, Dyami Brown and Treylon Burks would again be in line for increased snaps behind Stefon Diggs if McLaurin is unable to suit up against the Giants in Week 5.

Trey Amos CB IR

Injured Reserve

Amos was a limited participant Wednesday in what was his first practice since early August, when he sustained an ankle injury during training camp. The injury caused Amos to start the regular season on injured reserve, but the Commanders will now have 21 days to activate him from IR and move him to the 53-man roster. Depending on his practice participation over the next two days, Amos could be cleared to make his 2026 regular-season debut as soon as Sunday against the Giants.

Jaylin Lane WR IR

Injured Reserve

Lane was diagnosed with a fracture and dislocation of his left ankle, a season-ending injury he suffered during the Commanders' 30-13 loss to the Colts on Sunday in London. The second-year pro will finish the 2026 regular season with two catches on as many targets for 25 yards, 84 yards on seven punt returns and 295 yards on 12 kickoff returns across four games. Luke McCaffrey and Dyami Brown are candidates to take over as Washington's returners in Lane's absence.

Omenihu was injured in the first quarter and went to the locker room to be evaluated. He's since been ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Shy Tuttle may be asked to play more defensive snaps given Omenihu's absence.

Jeremy Reaves S Q

Questionable

Reaves appeared to sustain the injury early in the third quarter, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Percy Butler is in line for more defensive snaps for as long as Reaves is sidelined.

Tyler Owens S Q

Questionable

Owens tweaked his hamstring during the second half of Sunday's game in London, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Percy Butler and Quan Martin are the only healthy safeties left for the Commanders due to the absences of Owens, Jeremy Reaves (finger, questionable) and Nick Cross (illness, inactive).

Jean-Baptiste has operated in a depth role on defense as well as a special-teams contributor through the first two games of the regular season. He'll observe Sunday's game from the sidelines, and his next chance to play is Week 4 against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Jayden Daniels QB O

Out

inactive

Leo Chenal LB O

Out

Chenal was carted off the field after suffering the injury, so the latest update is hardly a surprise. While it's too early to speculate, his status for the Week 4 meeting with the Colts is in jeopardy. However, an absence could extend beyond that contest, considering it's a neck injury.

Chig Okonkwo TE O

Out

Okonkwo didn't practice this week but was spotted with the rehab group Friday. He left Washington's Week 1 contest late in the third quarter, which allowed John Bates to play 70 percent of snaps in the fourth quarter (Ben Sinnott took 45 percent, while Colson Yankoff played only five percent). Bates figures to again play the most snaps Week 2 at Dallas, but he may be subbed out for Sinnott or Yankoff in some passing situations.

Frankie Luvu LB O

Out

Luvu suffered a groin strain in Sunday's 24-22 loss to Philadelphia. While the injury isn't expected to land him on injured reserve, he will at least miss Sunday's NFC East showdown with Dallas. With Luvu sidelined for Week 2, Leo Chenal is the favorite to move into the starting lineup.

He'll have two more opportunities to practice this week before the Commanders potentially make a ruling on his status for Sunday's game in Dallas. John Bates and Ben Sinnott are the next players up at tight end for Washington.

Daron Payne DT Q

Questionable

questionable

Dorance Armstrong DE Q

Questionable

Armstrong was reinstated after serving a one-game suspension Monday, but he now appears to be dealing with a potential knee issue as practice gets underway ahead of Week 2. The linebacker will have two more chances to log a full practice and erase any doubt about his availability for Sunday's matchup with Dallas.

Frankie Luvu LB Q

Questionable

Luvu suffered a groin injury in the team's 24-22 loss to the Eagles in Week 1, and as result, he was unable to give it a go at Washington's first practice of the week. The linebacker will have two more chances to return to the practice field prior to Sunday's contest in Dallas.

Jaylin Lane WR Q

Questionable

Lane is dealing with an apparent groin issue to open the week at practice, and as a result, he wasn't able to be a full participant Wednesday. The wide receiver will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup on the road against the Cowboys.

Jordan Magee LB IR

Injured Reserve

Magee suffered a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of the Commanders' 24-22 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. His placement on IR means Magee will be forced to miss at least the next four games, making Week 6 against the 49ers on Monday, Oct. 19 the earliest he can return. Frankie Luvu (groin) also sustained an injury against Philadelphia, and if cannot play against the Cowboys in Week 2, then Leo Chenal would likely fill in as the Commanders' second starting inside linebacker alongside rookie first-rounder Sonny Styles.

K'Lavon Chaisson LB Q

Questionable

questionable

Odafe Oweh LB Q

Questionable

Oweh was limited throughout the team's entire week of practice prior to playing 46 snaps on defense in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Eagles. The linebacker will have two more chances to log a full practice before Washington's matchup with Dallas in Week 2, but he seems likely to be active again.

Chig Okonkwo TE Q

Questionable

Okonkwo was deemed questionable to return in the second half of a close contest. Before exiting, he had caught two of three targets for 16 yards. If Okonkwo can't return to the Week 1 matchup, John Bates and Ben Sinnott figure to handle Washington's tight-end snaps.

Frankie Luvu LB Q

Questionable

Luvu did not return to the field after halftime as the linebacker deals with a new groin injury. It is unclear how significant the issue is, but if Luvu cannot return, Jordan Magee and Leo Chenal will likely share snaps at inside linebacker next to Sonny Styles.

Jordan Magee LB Q

Questionable

Magee -- who has been filling in on defense following the exit of Frankie Luvu (groin) -- appeared to sustain the injury during a Jalen Hurts scramble in the fourth quarter. Leo Chenal figures to see an uptick in defensive snaps next to Sonny Styles for as long as Magee is out of action.

Tyler Owens S Q

Questionable

Owens appeared to tweak his ankle while on kickoff coverage in the second half, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. He logged two solo tackles prior to his exit.

Odafe Oweh LB Q

Questionable

The linebacker has been nursing the calf issue since mid-August. Now that he has returned to some on-field work, he may have a chance to play in the team's season opener against Philadelphia on Sunday. Oweh signed a four-year, $96-million contract with the Commanders in the offseason.

Curtis Jacobs LB IR

Injured Reserve

Jacobs was waived/injured Sunday due to an undisclosed issue. He cleared waivers and subsequently reverted to IR. That means Jacobs will need to sit out the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Commanders.

Deatrich Wise Jr. DE O

Out

Wise had been on PUP to start camp, and though he remains with the team, he will miss at least the first four games of the regular season as a result of Sunday's development The veteran defensive end missed the bulk of the 2025 season with a quadriceps injury, but it's unclear if this current issue is related.

Jacoby Jones WR IR

Injured Reserve

Jones caught eight passes for 82 yards over three preseason contests with the Commanders. The wide receiver was waived with an injury designation Sunday and cleared waivers. Jones will spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on IR unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Commanders.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt RB Q

Questionable

Croskey-Merritt was forced to miss the Commanders' final two preseason games due to a lower-body injury, and he won't practice Monday. His participation level once he gets back on the field should offer more clarity on his readiness for the regular-season opener Sunday, Sept. 13 against the Eagles. In the meantime, Kaytron Allen is the Commanders' top healthy option in the backfield with Rachaad White (hamstring) also banged up at the moment.

Jeremy McNichols RB IR

Injured Reserve

As a result of the transaction, McNichols won't be eligible to make his 2026 debut until at least Week 5 while he recovers from the quad injury, which he sustained earlier this month. Once reinstated, McNichols could have a role on special teams for the Commanders, but he'll likely be in line for limited snaps on offense if all of Jacory Croskey-Merritt (lower body), Rachaad White (hamstring) and Kaytron Allen are healthy and available out of the backfield.

Jer'Zhan Newton DT IR

Injured Reserve

Newton underwent surgery to repair a torn pectoral on Aug. 20. The defensive tackle will be required to miss the first four games of the regular season at minimum before he is eligible for activation. Newton will likely take longer to return, but has a good chance of participating in the tail end of the regular season if his recovery stays on schedule.

Laremy Tunsil OT IR

Injured Reserve

Tunsil is recovering from a surgery he underwent to repair a torn right triceps. The starting left tackle will need to miss at least four games on IR before becoming eligible to return to the active roster. In all likelihood, Tunsil will be out far longer than four games, likely missing the entirety of the 2026 regular season while he recovers.

Marcus Mariota QB Q

Questionable

Mariota missed the last two weeks of the preseason after suffering a sprained MCL in his right knee in the team's 20-7 preseason win over the Dolphins on Aug. 14. The veteran QB will look to increase his workload at practice in the coming days in preparation to serve as the the Commanders' top reserve option behind Jayden Daniels again in 2026.

Quentin Moore TE IR

Injured Reserve

Moore cleared waivers after being waived/injured by the Commanders on Sunday. The tight end will now spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on IR unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Trey Amos CB IR

Injured Reserve

The second-year corner will miss at least the first four games of the season for the Commanders as he works his way back from an ankle injury sustained during training camp. Amos played in 10 games as a rookie, logging 32 tackles and six pass breakups over 511 snaps.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt RB Q

Questionable

On Aug. 20, Croskey-Merritt pulled up at the end of a catch and run in practice due to a lower-body injury, which now will keep him out of the Commanders' final two exhibitions. He focused on rehab work on the side this week, with the intent to return to practice at some point next week. Rachaad White (hamstring) and Jeremy McNichols (quadriceps) also aren't in uniform Friday, meaning rookie sixth-rounder Kaytron Allen, Robert Henry and Craig Reynolds are the team's available RBs for preseason Week 3.

Rachaad White RB Q

Questionable

White has been tending to a hamstring injury since Aug. 19 that will keep him sidelined for the Commanders' final two exhibitions. He was able to mix into individual drills as recently as Monday, though, so he's making progress in his recovery. White will join No. 1 RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (lower body) and Jeremy McNichols (quadriceps) on the sideline Friday.

Malik Spencer S IR

Injured Reserve

Spencer was waived with an injury designation Tuesday, and he ultimately went unclaimed on waivers. He will now be forced to miss the entire 2026 season while on IR, unless he's able to reach an injury settlement with Washington.

Ben Sinnott TE Q

Questionable

Sinnott won't practice this week after sustaining the injury this past Saturday. Quinn didn't indicate that the tight end's availability for the Commanders' Sept. 13 season opener versus the Eagles is in any peril, but Sinnott will likely need to return to full practice at some point over the next two-plus weeks to put himself on a path to play.

Drake Jackson DE IR

Injured Reserve

Jackson is in line to miss the season if he remains with the Commanders. He played in three games with the team last season, recording three tackles.

Jeremy McNichols RB Q

Questionable

McNichols is nursing a quad injury that he sustained during training camp practice last week, which will sideline him for each of the Commanders' first two preseason games. With McNichols, Rachaad White (hamstring) and Jacory Croskey-Merritt (undisclosed) sidelined, the Commanders backfield will be led by rookie sixth-rounder Kaytron Allen, with Robert Henry and Craig Reynolds also in the mix for reps.

K'Lavon Chaisson LB Q

Questionable

Chaisson continues to recover from a knee injury that he picked up in joint practice with the Dolphins two weeks ago. He's been limited to side work during training camp practices, and the Commanders may take the cautious route by sidelining the 2020 first-rounder for the team's preseason finale against the Ravens next Friday.

Tim Settle DT Q

Questionable

Settle continues to work through a calf issue that will end up sidelining him for each of the Commanders' first two preseason games. He may be held out of the team's preseason finale against the Ravens on Friday as a precautionary measure to ensure that he's fully healthy for the regular season.

Jer'Zhan Newton DT O

Out

While Jhabvala notes that the timeline for this sort of procedure can vary depending on the extent of the tear and its location, a 3-to-4-month recovery is the typical range. Newton appears highly likely to open the season on injured reserve, and his absence for any length of time represents a major blow to the Commanders' pass rush. The 24-year-old played the full 17-game slate during his second NFL season in 2025, logging 38 tackles, including 5.0 sacks, good for fourth place on the team.

Nick Allegretti G Q

Questionable

The center was dealing with tightness in his calf Wednesday, per Standig. Allegretti has been nursing the calf issue since early August, but he was able to return to practice Tuesday. Standig also reports the projected starter went through testing that did not reveal any setbacks.

Trey Amos CB Q

Questionable

The cornerback fractured his fibula last year, and his current ankle sprain is on the same leg, per Reed. Amos has not practiced since suffering this latest injury Aug. 10. If he can't return in time for the start of the regular season, Rasul Douglas would likely be the next man up at left cornerback.

Dorance Armstrong DE SUS

Suspension

reserve-sus

Jordan Magee LB Q

Questionable

Magee is set to be held out of practice for a week, but the issue does not appear to be cause for long-term concern. With the linebacker set to miss Saturday's preseason contest with the Lions, Kain Medrano or Krys Barnes could see a large share of defensive reps.

Laremy Tunsil OT O

Out

Marcus Mariota QB Q

Questionable

Byron Cowart DT Q

Questionable

The Commanders hosted Cowart for a workout Monday, and the team liked what they saw out of the 2019 fifth-rounder, who spent most of last season on the Jets' injured reserve due to an ankle injury. Cowart last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the Bears, when he logged 26 tackles (14 solo), including 2.5 sacks, across 15 games.

Max Scharping G Q

Questionable

Scharping tore his ACL while with Pittsburgh last September and ended the year on IR. He appears to be back to health and will get a chance to compete for a depth role along Washington's offensive line.

Tress Way P O

Out

The pectoral injury Way was tending to was never believed to be serious, and he will now be able to get back into action during camp. He's favored to fend off fellow veteran Matt Haack to keep Washington's punting job in 2026.

John Bates TE Q

Questionable

Bates hurt his hamstring during practice Thursday and is going to miss a significant portion of training camp as a result. The third-year tight end is slated to work behind Chig Okonkwo this season, but Bates' injury could open the door for Ben Sinnott to make a push for the No. 2 role at the position.

Nick Allegretti G Q

Questionable

Allegretti is viewed as a contender for the starting center role for the upcoming season, so the timing of the issue isn't ideal. However, the injury isn't considered long term, and Allegretti could still log plenty of action during training camp and in preseason games. Keim notes that Brandon Coleman, who is competing for a starting role at left guard, took some center snaps after practice Saturday, which suggests that he could emerge as an option at center, especially if Allegretti's injury lingers longer than expected.

Deatrich Wise Jr. DE O

Out

Wise missed nearly the entire 2025 campaign due to a quadriceps injury and is now dealing with an undisclosed issue to open up training camp. While there's currently no timetable for the 31-year-old's return, he will be eligible to participate in practice once healthy but will be limited to side work until then.
