Bellore (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Eagles, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bellore missed the Week 17 loss to the Cowboys, but the special-teamer is good to go for the regular-season finale. The 36-year-old Bellore has logged 11 tackles (seven solo) across 321 special-teams snaps.

Head coach Dan Quinn told reporters that Bellore (concussion) won't play in Thursday's matchup against the Cowboys, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Central Michigan product likely sustained a concussion in the Week 16 loss to the Eagles, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Thursday. Bellore has played almost exclusively on special teams this season, recording 11 total tackles and one forced fumble across 15 appearances.

Bellore (concussion) was listed as DNP on Monday's estimated practice report.
EDGE Analysis
The Commanders held a walkthrough Monday after losing to the Eagles on Saturday night. Washington faces Dallas on Thursday, so it will be tough for Bellore to clear the protocol in time for that Week 17 contest.

Bellore (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Bellore returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant and logged a full session Friday, putting him on track to suit up after missing his first game of the season Week 11.

Bellore (knee) is out for Thursday's game at Philadelphia, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bellore was forced out of the Commanders' contest in Week 10 early by a knee injury, and now he'll be sidelined for his first game this season Thursday as he recovers. In his absence, rookie fifth-rounder Jordan Magee has one less hurdle to potentially see his first defensive snap this year.

Bellore suffered a knee injury Sunday against Pittsburgh and is questionable to return.
EDGE Analysis
Bellore was deemed questionable to return with just over two minutes remaining in the game, so it may be difficult for him to return if the injury is isn't minor. Prior to his exit, the linebacker notched one tackle on special teams. Bellore entered Sunday having played just six defensive snaps on the season, but he had logged 164 special-teams snaps over nine contests.

The Commanders signed Bellore from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bellore played 17 special teams snaps in the Commanders' Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers, and he finished the game without recording a tackle. He'll continue his role on special teams while providing depth at linebacker behind starters Frankie Luvu, Bobby Wagner and Dante Fowler.

Bellore will be released by the Seahawks on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bellore's exit will save Seattle $2.85 million in cap space, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. The 34-year-old had spent the past five seasons with the team, making the Pro Bowl twice as a special-teams ace, including this past year.

Bellore recorded 14 tackles (eight solo) across 16 games during the 2023 season.
EDGE Analysis
Bellore is listed as a fullback and an inside linebacker, but he didn't record any offensive touches in 2023. However, he led the team with 12 special-teams tackles, which was just two stops shy of the league lead in the category. Bellore is signed for the 2024 season in Seattle.
