Link to story Commanders | Rachaad White suffers hamstring injury Thu Aug 20, 11:37 AM
Washington Commanders RB Rachaad White (hamstring) reportedly suffered a hamstring injury during the Commanders' joint practice with the Miami Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: White will likely miss this Saturday's preseason game with the Detroit Lions, but the injury is not considered a long-term issues. Reports indicate Jacory Croskey-Merritt is flashing enough as a pass catcher this offseason to position himself for the largest role in the backfield. The group is a bit of a cluster-you-know-what, but Croskey-Merritt is the highest-drafted of the group (RB40). The Commanders' backfield is battling a few injuries right now with White (hamstring), Jeremy McNichols (quad), and Jerome Ford (hamstring) all banged up. |

Commanders | Jer'Zhan Newton could miss extended time Wed Aug 19, 02:15 PM
Washington Commanders DT Jer'Zhan Newton (pectoral) suffered a pectoral injury during the first preseason game and is scheduled to meet with a specialist to determine the severity of the injury, according to head coach Dan Quinn. Quinn said Newton may be dealing with a long-term injury.
| Footballguys view: Newton was a breakout candidate as a disruptive force on the defensive line. If he is out for the year, that will be a big blow to a defense that brought in a lot of new starters this offseason via free agency and the draft. The Eagles get to pick on the Commanders defense to open the season. |

Commanders | Jake Moody released on Monday Tue Aug 18, 12:19 AM
Washington Commanders PK Jake Moody was released by Commanders, according to a source on Monday, Aug. 17. PK Drew Stevens has won the kicking job for the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Moody had struggled with his consistency in training camp and booted a 29-yard attempt off the right upright that fell over the crossbar in Friday's 20-7 preseason win over Miami. Meanwhile, rookie Drew Stevens has been more consistent. Three of his five misses in training camp occurred in one day, and he made a 41-yarder down the middle vs. the Dolphins. Stevens was considered to have the stronger leg. He made eight of 13 field goal attempts from beyond 50 yards in his last two seasons at Iowa. Now he's set to open the season with sole possession of the job. |

Commanders | Marcus Mariota to be ready for Week 1 Mon Aug 17, 12:51 AM
Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (knee) is expected to be ready for the regular-season opener.
| Footballguys view: Mariota, in his third season with Washington, has been a valuable backup to Jayden Daniels. Mariota played in 11 games, including eight starts, last season, throwing for 1,695 yards, 10 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He replaced an injured Daniels in two games in 2024, leading victories in both games -- including a game-winning pass at Dallas in the regular-season finale with two seconds remaining. So having him back at full health to open the season will be important. |

Commanders | Marcus Mariota has sprained MCL Sun Aug 16, 11:19 AM
Updating previous reports, Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (knee) sustained a sprained medial collateral ligament in the preseason game versus the Miami Dolphins Friday, Aug. 14. He is expected to miss the remainder of the preseason, according to multiple sources.
| Footballguys view: Given Jayden Daniels' injury history, this is a situation to watch. If the team is unsure about Mariota's status for Week 1, they are looking at 2024 UDFA Sam Hartman, who has been with the organization for a few years, or 2026 7th round pick Athan Kaliakmanis as the next men up. |

Commanders | Marcus Mariota injures leg Friday Sat Aug 15, 02:24 PM
Updating a previous report, Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (leg) sustained an apparent leg injury in the team's preseason opener versus the Miami Dolphins Friday, Aug. 14.
| Footballguys view: Mariota was able to walk off the field under his own power and was talking to trainers on the sideline. He was seen immediately limping after going to hand off the ball. Sam Hartman took over for an injured Mariota, and he's in line to elevate on the depth chart to no.2 (behind Jayden Daniels) if Mariota has to miss time. |

Commanders | Laremy Tunsil could miss season Mon Aug 10, 09:45 AM
Updating previous reports, Washington Commanders OT Laremy Tunsil (triceps) could miss the entire season, but they'll have a better timeline after he undergoes surgery on his torn triceps.
| Footballguys view: Tunsil's injury is a crucial blow to the Commanders' offense, costing it a player considered one of the best at his position. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Brandon Coleman will be Washington's starting left tackle during Tunsil's absence. The Commanders are not planning to look outside the organization for additional help at the position, according to Quinn. Coleman started 12 games at left tackle as a rookie in 2024 and three more last year when Tunsil was injured. He had been competing with Chris Paul at left guard this year. |
Commanders | Laremy Tunsil to miss significant time Sun Aug 9, 01:31 PM
Updating a previous report, Washington Commanders OT Laremy Tunsil (triceps) suffered a torn triceps during practice Saturday, Aug. 8, and is expected to miss at least a significant portion of the regular season, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Tunsil is the best offensive lineman on the Commanders roster by a good margin. The team is installing a new offense, and now they will be adjusting to having a new left tackle. Swing tackle Andrew Wylie and backup left tackle/left guard Brandon Coleman will have a shot to start, but the team also signed three veteran offensive tackles, signaling an open mind to the places where they could find Tunsil's replacement. It is a lot more difficult today to see any Commanders overachieving in fantasy leagues than it was yesterday, and it wasn't easy yesterday. |
Commanders | WAS signs three linemen Sun Aug 9, 01:31 PM
Free-agent OT Daniel Brunskill (Dolphins), OT Max Scharping (Steelers), and OT Nicholas Petit-Frere (49ers) were signed by the Washington Commanders, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 8. The Commanders also released OG Tim McKay.
| Footballguys view: This is what happens when you find out you are losing your stud left tackle for a good part of the regular season. The Commanders will try to get by with backup left tackle Brandon Coleman (who was competing for a starting job at left guard) or swing tackle Andrew Wylie in place of Laremy Tunsil, who went down with a torn tricep, but they are open this group of veterans providing competition and at least giving them another option on the practice squad if the replacements already on the roster don't work out. |
Commanders | Brandon Coleman moving to left tackle Sun Aug 9, 11:51 AM
Updating previous reports, Washington Commanders OL Brandon Coleman is slated to move to left tackle to replace OT Laremy Tunsil (triceps), who could be sidelined for the entire 2026 season because of a torn triceps that will require surgery. Coleman had been competing with OG Chris Paul for the team's starting left guard job during training camp but has prior experience playing left tackle.
Link to story Commanders | Laremy Tunsil likely to go under the knife Sun Aug 9, 10:11 AM
Updating previous reports, Washington Commanders OT Laremy Tunsil (triceps) is likely to require surgery on his torn triceps, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Steve Wyche.
Link to story Commanders | Brandon Coleman could return to LT Sun Aug 9, 09:17 AM
Washington Commanders OL Brandon Coleman is a candidate to play left tackle for the team while OT Laremy Tunsil (triceps) recovers from a torn triceps. Coleman had played the position prior to Tunsil's arrival in Washington, although he has been deployed more recently as a guard.
Link to story Commanders | Andrew Wylie could be used at LT Sun Aug 9, 09:08 AM
Washington Commanders OL Andrew Wylie is a possibility to start for the team at left tackle while OT Laremy Tunsil (triceps) is sidelined due to a torn triceps, with OT Josh Conerly Jr. being used at right tackle.
Link to story Commanders | Laremy Tunsil dinged up at practice Sat Aug 8, 11:33 AM
Washington Commanders OT Laremy Tunsil (arm) suffered an apparent left arm injury at practice Saturday, Aug. 8, while participating in a one-on-one drill versus LB Odafe Oweh. Tunsil underwent a brief examination in the team's medical tent before being taken into the Commanders' facility for further evaluation.
| Footballguys view: Tunsil is high on the list of players the Commanders can't afford to lose. Mike Garafolo and Brian Baldinger have both watched a lot of football over the years and believed the injury was a shoulder "stinger", which is a temporary nerve issue that shouldn't be a big deal unless it continues to recur during the season. We'll add this to our list of offensive line situations to monitor. |

Free-agent WR Stefon Diggs (Patriots) agreed to terms with the Washington Commanders Wednesday, Aug. 5, according to a source. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Diggs is worth a pick around the 10-12th round in PPR leagues, as he should be the #2 target for Jayden Daniels. This is a small blow to free agent signing TE Chig Okonkwo, but he should still get ample opportunity to make a fantasy impact this season. |
