Ben Nikkel: Let go with injury settlement
The Commanders waived Nikkel (undisclosed) from injured reserve after reaching an injury settlement Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Nikkel was waived by the Commanders on Aug. 20 with an undisclosed injury designation, and he reverted to the team's IR one day later after going unclaimed off waivers. That would've forced him to miss the entire 2024 season, but with the injury settlement, Nikkel can now join another team once he's fully healthy.
