Washington Commanders

K'Lavon Chaisson

LB

Chaisson was a limited participant in all three Week 1 practice sessions. Despite being unable to log a full practice, the linebacker has been cleared of any injury designation and is all set to suit up for Sunday's contest. Chaisson will be the starting edge alongside Odafe Oweh due to Dorance Armstrong's (suspension) absence.

Daron Payne

DT

Payne was a limited participant in Thursday's session but is now all set for Sunday's game. The nose tackle has cleared himself of any issues and will start alongside Javon Kinlaw and Tim Settle as the Commanders open the campaign with a road clash against a divisional opponent.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt

RB

Croskey-Merritt was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but will apparently be fine for the season opener. He's got a tough matchup on the road in Philadelphia, and he'll will be sharing snaps with Rachaad White in some fashion, regardless of health/durability considerations.

Jordan Magee

LB

Barring a setback, Magee is on track to suit up for Week 1 versus the Eagles. The 25-year-old most recently appeared in 17 regular-season games for the Commanders during the 2025 campaign, amassing 54 total tackles and one passes defended.

Odafe Oweh

LB

Oweh was a limited participant in practice throughout Week 1. Even though the linebacker was unable to log a full practice, he has been cleared of any injury designation. Oweh is set to start on the edge opposite K'Lavon Chaisson.
