Rotowire
Yankoff (hamstring) was limited in Friday's practice, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.

Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Activated off IR
Rotowire
The Commanders activated Yankoff (hamstring) off injured reserve and removed him from their injury report Saturday.
Yankoff was designated to return to practice Jan. 8 but didn't play in last weekend's wild-card win over Tampa Bay. He logged a second straight week of full practices this week, and by being activated, he's now eligible to suit up Saturday night against the Lions. A roster spot opened up for Yankoff after linebacker Jordan Magee was placed on injured reserve Saturday due to a hamstring injury.

Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Logs another full practice
Rotowire
Yankoff (hamstring) practiced in full Tuesday.
Yankoff was also a full practice participant all last week after being designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. However, he wasn't activated off injured reserve ahead of Washington's wild-card win over the Buccaneers. It's unclear if Yankoff will be activated in time for this Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Lions, but the chances of that happening would increase if fellow tight end Ben Sinnott (shoulder) isn't able to play.

Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Remaining out for wild-card round
Rotowire
Yankoff (hamstring), who is on IR, has been ruled out for Sunday's wild-card matchup versus Tampa Bay.
Yankoff has been on injured reserve since early November due to a hamstring injury. He was designated to return to practice Wednesday but isn't yet ready for game action. When healthy early in the campaign, Yankoff worked primarily on special teams, logging 101 snaps as part of those units versus just six on offense over six games.

Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Lands on IR
Rotowire
Yankoff (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve by the Commanders on Saturday.
Yankoff suffered a hamstring injury during the practice week and didn't practice Friday after being a limited participant Thursday. The issue appears to be fairly serious, as Yankoff will need to miss at least the next four games while on IR. The tight end's absence is unlikely to impact the Commanders' offensive gameplan much, as Yankoff has played only six offensive snaps on the season. He's been a staple on special teams, though, and will be missed in that regard.
