Yankoff (ankle) was estimated as a full participant on Monday's practice report.
EDGE Analysis
Yankoff missed Saturday night's loss to the Eagles but appears to be ready to return to the lineup following a one-game absence. Yankoff has a total of two catches for 18 yards on three targets across 12 appearances this season. He carries extremely minimal fantasy value.

Yankoff (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Eagles, Ben Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yankoff was unable to practice all week due to the ankle injury he sustained in last Sunday's win over the Giants. The tight end's absence means the position room only has John Bates and Ben Sinnott ready for Saturday. Due to this development, rookies Robert McDaniel out of Jackson State University or Gee Scott out of Ohio State could be elevated from the practice squad ahead of Saturday's contest.

Yankoff (ankle) did not practice Tuesday, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yankoff hurt his ankle Sunday against the Giants and apparently remains bothered by the issue. He'll almost certainly need to practice in some capacity by Thursday to have a chance of suiting up Saturday against Philadelphia. The Commanders are already shorthanded at tight end with Zach Ertz (knee) done for the season, so John Bates and Ben Sinnott are currently the team's only healthy players at the position.

Yankoff (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Yankoff appeared to sustain the injury early in the second half, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Ben Sinnott should see a slight uptick in offensive snaps for as long as Yankoff is out of the game.

Yankoff (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Lions, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.
EDGE Analysis
A hamstring injury prevented Yankoff from playing in the Commanders' last two games, but he's been cleared to return Sunday after logging a full practice Friday. He's mostly served on special teams this season, but his return bolsters the Commanders' depth at tight end behind Zach Ertz, John Bates and Ben Sinnott.

Yankoff (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Seahawks, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Commanders' No. 4 tight end, Yankoff carries almost zero fantasy value behind Zach Ertz, John Bates and Ben Sinnott. Yankoff has zero catches this season.

Yankoff (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Chiefs, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yankoff likely sustained a hamstring injury during Friday's practice, and the issue now appears serious enough for him to miss Monday night's contest. The UCLA product has appeared in all seven of Washington's games this season, failing to record an offensive stat while playing 184 total snaps (140 on special teams, 44 on offense). While he's sidelined in Week 8, the Commanders' tight-end room will likely consist of Zach Ertz, John Bates and Ben Sinnott.

Yankoff (hamstring) was limited in Friday's practice, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yankoff wasn't on the injury report Thursday, so it's possible he was injured in Friday's session. The Commanders will practice again Saturday ahead of Monday night's game against the Chiefs. Yankoff also dealt with a hamstring injury at the end of last season.

The Commanders activated Yankoff (hamstring) off injured reserve and removed him from their injury report Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Yankoff was designated to return to practice Jan. 8 but didn't play in last weekend's wild-card win over Tampa Bay. He logged a second straight week of full practices this week, and by being activated, he's now eligible to suit up Saturday night against the Lions. A roster spot opened up for Yankoff after linebacker Jordan Magee was placed on injured reserve Saturday due to a hamstring injury.

Yankoff (hamstring), who is on IR, practiced in full Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Yankoff was also a full practice participant all last week after being designated to return from IR on Wednesday, However, he wasn't activated off injured reserve ahead of Washington's wild-card win over the Buccaneers. It's unclear if Yankoff will be activated in time for this Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Lions, but the chances of that happening would increase if fellow tight end Ben Sinnott (shoulder) isn't able to play.
