Wagner logged 10 tackles (five solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense during the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner played all 92 defensive snaps Christmas Day, which was the second-most in his career (94 defensive snaps in Week 7 of the 2016 season). He combined with Jer'Zhan Newton for a five-yard sack on Dak Prescott midway through the third quarter, bringing Wagner up 2.5 sacks over his last four games. Wagner has accumulated 157 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, which is currently the fifth most in his 14-year NFL career. Week 18 against the Eagles is Wagner's last opportunity to add to his tackling total.

Wagner (knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner did not practice Monday, so his upgrade to full participation Tuesday means he is trending toward playing in Thursday's game against the Cowboys. The veteran middle linebacker has yet to miss a game this season, playing 100 percent of defensive snaps in 14 of 15 games. His continued presence on the field is surely an anchor for the Commanders' defense, and his trend of game-day participation will likely not stop Sunday.

Wagner (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner has been playing through the knee issue for weeks and has yet to miss a start this season. Through 15 games, the veteran linebacker has piled up 147 tackles (73 solo), including 4.0 sacks, and three pass breakups, including a pair of interceptions, on 99 percent of the Commanders' defensive snaps.

Wagner (knee) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Saturday's game against the Eagles, Ben Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner was a full participant in Thursday's practice after missing back-to-back sessions earlier in the week. The linebacker elevated his participation just in time to dodge an injury designation and should be good to go for Saturday's divisional matchup. The veteran will continue his streak of game-day participation, as the 35-year-old has yet to miss a contest this season.

Wagner (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner has now missed back-to-back practices to open the week as he continues to nurse a knee injury. The linebacker has been able to play through the issue the last two weeks, but he'll look to return to practice in some capacity at Thursday's final session prior to Saturday's matchup with the Eagles.

Wagner (knee) didn't practice Tuesday, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner has been dealing with a knee injury for most of December, but he hasn't yet missed any games. The veteran linebacker was listed as a DNP due both to the knee and "rest" Wednesday, suggesting that his absence was for injury maintenance rather than a setback. The knee issue didn't seem to bother Wagner in Sunday's win against the Giants, as he logged seven tackles while playing every defensive snap for Washington.

Wagner registered seven tackles (six solo) during the Commanders' 29-21 win over the Giants on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner was able to shake off a knee injury to play in Sunday's NFC East showdown, and it didn't appear to bother him as he was able to play every single defensive snap while finishing second on the Commanders in tackles behind Quan Martin (nine). Wagner has tallied at least seven stops in all 14 regular-season games, 13 of which he played every single defensive snap. The veteran linebacker is up to 137 tackles on the year, which is fifth most in the NFL.

Wagner (knee) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner did not participate in practice Wednesday or Thursday before returning as a full participant in Friday's session. The veteran is set to suit up as the defensive leader for Sunday's game. The starting middle linebacker has not missed a game this season and has played 100 percent of defensive snaps in all but one contest, a trend that will likely continue in Week 15.

Wagner (knee) did not practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner has now missed back-to-back practices to kick off Week 15, but prior to Washington's loss to the Vikings in Week 14 he logged a DNP/DNP/LP slate and was cleared to play, despite initially being listed as questionable. The veteran linebacker then handled 100 percent of defensive snaps and tallied a tremendous 16 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks. As long as Wagner is able to resume practicing in at least a limited capacity Friday, it seems like he'll have solid odds of being cleared for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Giants.

Wagner (knee) was a non-participant at practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner has been managing a knee injury since last week. He logged a DNP/DNP/LP practice progression during Week 14 prep but was ultimately able to play Sunday versus Minnesota and had another big game with 16 tackles. Unless Wagner suffered a setback in that contest, he seems likely to suit up this Sunday versus the Giants, though his participation level Thursday and Friday should shed more light on his status.
