Way (pectoral) passed his physical and has been removed from the Commanders' NFI list as of Friday.
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.

Commanders' Tress Way: Gets put on NFI list
Rotowire
Washington placed Way (pectoral) on its active/non-football injury list Wednesday.
The pectoral injury is not believed to be a long-term concern, but it's keeping Way out of training camp practice for now. He signed a one-year extension with the Commanders in February and likely isn't in jeopardy of ceding his position as their punter as long as he's available.

Commanders' Tress Way: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Way (back) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game at Green Bay.
Way left the Commanders' contest in Week 1 early with a back issue, but his participation at practice Tuesday and Wednesday signals there's a chance he could return to game action as soon as Thursday. If he can't go, Washington could choose to elevate Mitch Wishnowsky from its practice squad to its active roster for Week 2.

Commanders' Tress Way: Limited Tuesday, likely okay for TNF
Rotowire
Way (back) was estimated as a limited participant in practice Tuesday, though Washington head coach Dan Quinn implied the punter will be available to play Thursday against Green Bay, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Way hurt his back in Sunday's Week 1 win over the Giants and was estimated as DNP on Monday. His upgrade to an estimation of limited Tuesday suggests that the veteran punter is trending in the right direction, as does Quinn's seeming confidence in Way's ability to suit up Thursday. Still, Washington worked out a pair of free-agent punters (Eddie Czaplicki and Mitch Wishnowsky) on Tuesday, so Way may not be fully in the clear.
