Commanders' Jordan Magee: Returns to practice Thursday
Rotowire
Magee (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday.
Magee suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 1 loss to Philadelphia. As a result, he was placed on injured reserve and missed the last four contests. Magee can be activated any time in the next 21 days, meaning there's a chance he will suit up Monday night against the 49ers.

Commanders' Jordan Magee: Lands on IR with hamstring injury
Rotowire
The Commanders placed Magee (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.
Magee suffered a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of the Commanders' 24-22 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. His placement on IR means Magee will be forced to miss at least the next four games, making Week 6 against the 49ers on Monday, Oct. 19 the earliest he can return. Frankie Luvu (groin) also sustained an injury against Philadelphia, and if cannot play against the Cowboys in Week 2, then Leo Chenal would likely fill in as the Commanders' second starting inside linebacker alongside rookie first-rounder Sonny Styles.

Rotowire
Magee is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a hamstring injury.
Magee -- who has been filling in on defense following the exit of Frankie Luvu (groin) -- appeared to sustain the injury during a Jalen Hurts scramble in the fourth quarter. Leo Chenal figures to see an uptick in defensive snaps next to Sonny Styles for as long as Magee is out of action.

Rotowire
Magee suffered a shoulder injury during Friday's preseason opener against the Dolphins, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Commanders' Jordan Magee: Increased production in Year 2
Rotowire
Magee recorded 54 total tackles (31 solo) and a pass defensed over 17 games during the 2025 regular season.
Magee was limited to 24 total defensive snaps over the team's first six contests of the year, but he then saw an expanded role as a rotational linebacker, playing no fewer than 14 snaps on defense in the team's remaining 11 regular-season games. As a result, the 24-year-old was able to finish sixth on Washington's defense in total takedowns, far exceeding the nine total tackles he compiled in his rookie campaign in 2024. With starting outside linebacker Von Miller entering the offseason as a free agent, Magee could have a chance to step into a starting role next year.

Commanders' Jordan Magee: Unlikely for divisional round
Rotowire
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Magee (hamstring) is unlikely to be available for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Lions, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
The rookie linebacker out of Temple aggravated a hamstring injury that held him out of Washington's last two regular-season games in Sunday's wild-card win over the Buccaneers. As a result, the Commanders aren't counting on Magee being available for their second contest of the postseason. Magee totaled nine tackles during the regular season while seeing the bulk of his snaps on special teams.
