Chinn recorded six tackles (two solo) in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.
Chinn had a modest game relative to his production the rest of the season, with his six tackles marking his lowest total since Week 6. Overall, he's second on the Raiders with 70 stops and has a minimum of six tackles in all but two games this season.

Raiders' Jeremy Chinn: Posts season high in stops Sunday
Rotowire
Chinn finished with 10 tackles (five solo) and a defensed pass in a Week 5 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday.
It was an ugly day for the Raiders as the team got routed by 34 points, but from an IDP perspective Chinn was solid by notching 10 stops. That was twice as many tackles as any other Raider and also represented the veteran safety's highest total so far this season. Chinn has registered 32 tackles and two defensed passes through five weeks in his first season with Las Vegas.

Raiders' Jeremy Chinn: Back on practice field
Rotowire
Chinn (undisclosed) participated during OTAs on Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Chinn sat out last week's open practice, but he's now back from whatever it was that was keeping him off the field. He's entering the first year of his contract with his new team in Las Vegas, and he figures to start at safety next to Isaiah Pola-Mao in 2025.

Raiders' Jeremy Chinn: Dealing with injury
Rotowire
Chinn (undisclosed) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Chinn signed a two-year, $16 million deal with the Raiders this past offseason after logging a career year with the Commanders in 2024. The Southern Illinois product appeared in all 17 regular-season games, recording 117 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, five passes defended and one forced fumble over 968 defensive snaps. Once Chinn returns to full health, he's likely to serve as the Raiders' top strong safety.

Raiders' Jeremy Chinn: Set to sign in Las Vegas
Rotowire
The Raiders are slated to sign Chinn to a two-year, $16 million contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Chinn played all 17 regular-season games with Washington in 2024, recording the third 100-tackle campaign of his career. He also played 100 percent of defensive snaps during the team's three playoff games, in which span he produced 29 tackles (17 solo) and one pass defensed, including one interception. Having made the most of his one-year, prove-it deal with the Commanders, Chinn now secures a starting role in the Raiders' secondary, a landing spot which figures to provide notable IDP fantasy value.

Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Past rib issue
Rotowire
Chinn (ribs) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Chinn was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a rib injury he likely picked up during the Commanders' Week 18 win over the Cowboys. The issue doesn't appear to be serious for him as he was able to practice without restrictions Thursday. The 2020 second-round pick should be healthy enough to be an every-snap defender in Sunday's NFC wild-card round game against Tampa Bay. Chinn finished the 2024 regular season with 117 tackles (73 solo), including 2.0 sacks, five pass defenses (including one interception), two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble across 17 games.

Rotowire
Chinn (ribs) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday.
Chinn played 100 percent of the Commanders' defensive snaps in Week 18 but may have gotten nicked up along the way. He'll work to ramp up his activity Thursday or Friday ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the Buccaneers.

Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Suiting up Week 16
Rotowire
Chinn (concussion) is active for Sunday's matchup versus Philadelphia.
Chinn suffered a concussion last Sunday against the Saints and was limited in each of the Commanders' first two practices this week. However, he upgraded to full participation Friday and has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time to take the field Sunday. Chinn is thus clear to take on his usual starting role at strong safety in a tough matchup against the Eagles.

Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Could play Sunday
Rotowire
Chinn (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles.
Chinn upgraded to full practice Friday after opening the week with consecutive limited sessions due to a concussion sustained in Washington's Week 15 win over the Saints, so it appears he's trending toward playing Sunday. However, the Southern Illinois product must still clear the NFL's five-step protocol in order to suit up in Week 16. If he's unable to do so, expect Percy Butler to serve as the Commanders' top strong safety.

Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Remains limited Thursday
Rotowire
Chinn (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Chinn opened the week with two consecutive limited practices due to a concussion he suffered against the Saints in Week 15. A full practice Friday would indicate that Chinn is progressing through the league's concussion protocols, though he would have to be cleared in order to play against the Eagles on Sunday. Over his last six games, Chinn has registered 52 tackles (32 solo), including 1.0 sacks, three pass defenses (including one interception) and one fumble recovery.

Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Chinn (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
The Southern Illinois product sustained a concussion in the Commanders' Week 15 win over the Saints, so his limited participation in Wednesday's practice is a positive sign for his potential availability in Week 16, when the Eagles visit Washington. However, Chinn still needs to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to be eligible to suit up Sunday.

Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Suffers concussion
Rotowire
Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Chinn suffered a concussion in Sunday's win over the Saints, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Chinn will now need to pass through the league's five-step protocols before gaining clearance to play and should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Might have concussion
Rotowire
Chinn is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints.
The safety was having a nice day before leaving the field, recording seven tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for a loss. Chinn now has 93 tackles (60 solo) on the year. Percy Butler and Jeremy Reaves are Washington's backup safeties.

Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Set to ink deal with Washington
Rotowire
The Commanders and Chinn have agreed to terms on a one-year deal, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
The deal is worth up to $5.1 million, according to Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com. After playing at least 91 percent of the defensive snaps in each of his first three seasons, Chinn's role on defense was significantly scaled back in 2023. He saw action on just 39 percent of the defensive snaps in the 12 games in which he was healthy. Washington is a good change of scenery for Chinn, who will now get to work with defensive guru coach Dan Quinn and DC Joe Whitt.

Panthers' Jeremy Chinn: Worst season of career
Rotowire
Chinn finished the regular season with 30 tackles (18 solo), including one sack, and one pass defended in 12 games.
Chinn's production has declined across each of his four NFL seasons, with his 2023 output marking a steep drop-off from his prior years. Although Chinn missed a handful of games while dealing with a quadriceps injury, the once-integral member of Carolina's defense was more of an afterthought this term. As a result, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 2020 second-round pick land elsewhere as an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Panthers' Jeremy Chinn: Comes off IR
Rotowire
Chinn (quadriceps) was activated to Carolina's active roster Saturday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
The 2020 second-round pick was able to log a limited week of practice sessions, and even after being activated from IR, he's still listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. Chinn had appeared in six games before suffering a quadriceps injury, recording 23 total tackles, including two tackles for loss and 1.0 sacks. If he can return to the field this weekend, he'll likely serve as the Panthers' top strong safety.

Panthers' Jeremy Chinn: Out with quad injury
Rotowire
Chinn is dealing with a significant quad injury and could be out for up to six weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Schefter notes that Chinn is in the final year of his contract, which could affect his return timeline given that Carolina won't be in the mix for a playoff spot. The 2020 second-round pick is listed as a safety but has spent a lot of time guarding the slot the past few seasons, essentially functioning as Carolina's nickelback. He's been playing less than usual this season, in part because the Panthers repeatedly have faced large deficits that encourage opponents to move away from three-wide formations and toward heavier sets.

Panthers' Jeremy Chinn: Continues steady production
Rotowire
Chinn had six solo tackles and one sack in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.
Chinn's sack was his first of the 2023 campaign and keeps his streak of one sack per season alive for the fourth straight year. The 25-year-old now has 21 tackles (14 solo) on the season, along with one pass defended and the aforementioned sack. He'll return to the field Week 5 against the Lions.

Panthers' Jeremy Chinn: New role in 2023
Rotowire
Chinn's primary role on the Panthers' defense in 2023 will be nickelback, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.
Chinn played linebacker as a rookie and safety the subsequent two years, but he is now set to morph into a quasi-corner role who is closer to the line of scrimmage and asked to cover more. The 25-year-old feels comfortable in what he is being asked to do, and the Panthers think they have finally found the right role for him. He recorded 70 tackles (51 solo), six passes defensed and one sack across 11 games in 2022.
