Chig Okonkwo, TE (WAS)

Not playing in Week 3

Okonkwo (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.

Okonkwo wasn't able to practice in any capacity for a second week in row due to the hamstring injury that he suffered Week 1 at Philadelphia and thus will miss his second consecutive game. With Okonkwo sidelined again, Ben Sinnott, John Bates and Colson Yankoff will be the tight ends available to the Commanders offense and QB Marcus Mariota in Week 3.
