Kerrigan signed a one-day contract with Washington on Friday so he could retire as a member of the club, Zach Shelby and Hannah Lichtenstein of Commanders.com report.
EDGE Analysis
Kerrigan played 10 seasons in Washington before playing with Philadelphia in 2021. He concludes his distinguished NFL career with 95.5 sacks, 26 forced fumbles, and three touchdowns over 172 games. He's Washington's leader in career sacks and could find his way into the FedExField Ring of Honor in the coming years.

Kerrigan was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Kerrigan missed the Eagles' Week 16 game against the Giants while in protocols. Now healthy, he should return to his rotational role on the Eagles' defensive line. However, with Derek Barnett still in protocols, Kerrigan's role could be expanded Sunday against Washington.

Kerrigan (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Kerrigan was listed on the injury report with an illness, indicating that he tested positive for the virus. He'll still have the chance to play in Week 16 against the Giants if he's vaccinated. Through 14 games this season, Kerrigan has recorded three total tackles.

Kerrigan (finger) isn't listed on the Eagles' injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Kerrigan injured his thumb early in August and was forced to undergo surgery that sidelined the veteran for a little over a week. The edge rusher missed a couple of preseason games but should see the field in Sunday's season opener against the Falcons.

Kerrigan is expected to be sidelined 7-to-10 days after undergoing surgery on his thumb, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when exactly the veteran pass rusher suffered the injury, but he'll be out for at least the next week after the procedure. Given that timeline, Kerrigan is unlikely to be available for the first two preseason contests, though he could be back for the exhibition finale Aug. 27 against the Jets.

Kerrigan announced Monday via his personal Instagram account that he has agreed to a contract with the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
After announcing earlier Monday that he would be moving on from Washington following a decade-long run with the team, Kerrigan quickly found a new home within the NFC East. With 95.5 career sacks on his ledger, Kerrigan has been one of the NFL's most productive pass rushers since entering the NFL in 2011, but the 32-year-old has settled into more of a situational role at this stage. Expect Kerrigan to serve as a rotational edge rusher behind the Eagles' projected starters at defensive end, Brandon Graham and Derek Barnett.

Kerrigan transitioned to a reserve role in 2020, tallying 17 tackles (nine solo) and 5.5 sacks in 16 games.
EDGE Analysis
After missing four games in 2019, the veteran pass rusher bounced back to play all 16 for a ninth time in 10 NFL seasons. He's up to 95.5 career sacks -- most in franchise history -- but Kerrigan likely will need to leave Washington if he's set on another big payday. With Montez Sweat and Chase Young both coming off productive seasons, Washington isn't likely to break the bank to re-sign a 32-year-old edge rusher, even if he's a favorite among both teammates and fans. Kerrigan can become an unrestricted free agent in March, and it's possible there are other teams that still view him as a starting-caliber edge rusher.

Kerrigan (toe) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kerrigan didn't practice Wednesday while nursing a toe injury, but he now appears to have put the issue behind him. The veteran defensive end will reprise his usual rotational role in Cleveland on Sunday.

Kerrigan is not participating in Wednesday's practice due to a toe injury, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kerrigan appears to have picked up a toe injury during Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, in which he played only 30 percent of defensive snaps. With Chase Young having emerged as a starter, Kerrigan will be difficult to trust in IDP formats even if he's able to make a full recovery in time to face the Browns in Week 3.

Kerrigan recorded two sacks and two QB hits in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
The Football Team had a field day against the Eagles' injury-riddled offensive line, and although Kerrigan lost the starting role to No. 2 pick Chase Young, he still made an impact by leading the team in sacks. Kerrigan finished with just 22 defensive snaps but a team high in sacks, compared to Young's 53 snaps and 1.5 sacks. The Football Team has the talent to rotate its defensive ends, but even with Kerrigan's outstanding performance, he's tough to depend on in IDP settings due to the low usage.
