Hayden was released by the Commanders on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hayden was with Jacksonville from 2018-2020, appearing in 30 games but didn't make an NFL roster to start the 2021 campaign. However, he was signed to Washington's practice squad in December of 2021, but he appeared in just one game for the Commanders -- Week 16 against Dallas -- and played 11 total snaps (four defensive).

Hayden signed with Washington's practice squad Saturday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hayden spent the last three seasons with Jacksonville, having appeared in 30 games. Washington is suffering numerous issues in its secondary, most notably to starting corner Kendall Fuller (illness), who is on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Hayden could be added to the active roster in time for Washington's game against the Eagles on Tuesday, depending on who will and won't be available.

Hayden (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old was activated from injured reserve Saturday after missing five game with a hamstring injury, and he played 57 defensive snaps Sunday before going down with the injury. Hayden isn't eligible to return from the shelf due to his previous stint on injured reserve this season, so he'll have to look toward the 2021 campaign as he's set to hit free agency.

Coach Doug Marrone said Monday that Hayden (knee) will miss "considerable time," Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it's not a clear timeline, it's safe to assume that Hayden won't play Week 12 against the Browns, and he could be placed on IR as well. It's yet another hit to the Jaguars' secondary that is already without rookie first-rounder CJ Henderson (groin) for at least two more games. Moving forward, Sidney Jones (Achilles) is in the mix to be the No. 1 cornerback along with Tre Herndon.

Hayden exited Sunday's game against the Steelers with a knee injury.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old was activated from injured reserve Saturday and was seeing his first game action since Week 4, but he suffered the knee injury during the second half. Hayden was labeled questionable to return and didn't return to the field in the closing stages of the fourth quarter with the Jaguars losing 27-3.

Hayden (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old landed on injured reserve in early October with the hamstring issue, but he's back in time for Week 11. Hayden should play a significant role in the secondary, especially with CJ Henderson (groin) recently put on injured reserve.

The Jaguars officially designated Hayden (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Thursday, John Reid reports.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction kicks off a 21-day window wherein the Jaguars can evaluate Hayden at practice without him counting against the 53-man roster. The veteran cornerback can be fully reinstated to the active roster at any point within that span, though a corresponding player would have to be cut.

Hayden (hamstring) was placed on IR on Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hayden will need to miss at least three weeks before being eligible to return from IR, so the soonest he could suit up again will be in Week 8 against the Chargers following Jacksonville's Week 7 bye. Chris Claybrooks or Sidney Jones are the likeliest candidates to take over Hayden's role as the nickel cornerback.

Coach Doug Marrone said Wednesday that he "doesn't feel good" about Hayden (hamstring) being able to play against the Texans on Sunday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hayden was forced out of Sunday's 33-25 loss to the Bengals due to a hamstring injury, and it looks like he could have to miss Week 5 as well. CJ Henderson (shoulder) was also injured versus Cincinnati, so Jacksonville could have to suit up in Houston with a depleted secondary.

Hayden was removed from Sunday's game against the Bengals with a hamstring injury.

EDGE Analysis

Hayden had three tackles and a pass breakup before exiting the game during the second half with the hamstring issue. CJ Henderson (shoulder) left earlier in the contest, leaving Tre Herndon, Chris Claybrooks and Sidney Jones as the only healthy cornerbacks available.
