Castro-Fields (hamstring) cleared waivers Wednesday and reverted to injured reserve, per the NFL's official media site.
EDGE Analysis
Castro-Fields appeared to pick up this injury during the second preseason game. The 2022 sixth-round pick out of Penn State has played just 12 regular-season games since entering the league, posting four tackles (three solo).

Castro-Fields (hamstring) did not practice Monday, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castro-Fields was one of five Eagles not practicing Monday, following Saturday's preseason loss to Cleveland. The 2022 sixth-round pick has tallied one tackle and two pass deflections in the preseason while trying to crack the 53-man roster in a cornerback room led by Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean. He appeared in two regular-season games for Carolina last season before being released in October, and any further missed time in training camp could damage his chances to make the team.

Castro-Fields (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castro-Fields drew the first start of his young career in Week 17, but he sustained a shoulder injury that's held him out of practice all week, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. The Commanders' secondary will be extremely thin in Week 18, as Castro-Fields is one of three cornerbacks to already be ruled out.

Castro-Fields (shoulder) is out for the rest of Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castro-Fields left during the first half of Sunday's contest with a shoulder injury that was apparently serious enough to keep him out for the rest of the day.

Castro-Fields left Sunday's game against the 49ers with a shoulder injury and is questionable to return, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castro-Fields was hurt in the first half and has since been deemed questionable to return. The second-year pro made his first start of the season Sunday -- prior to the game, he had played exclusively on special teams. Both Kendall Fuller (knee) and Benjamin St-Juste (concussion) are inactive Sunday, so Christian Holmes has entered in Castro-Fields' stead.

Castro-Fields (knee) was taking part in team drills during Tuesday's OTAs, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per the report, the second-year defensive back's knee is healthy after suffering an injury that held him out from from late October to the end of the 2022 NFL season. After recovering from this injury, Castro-Fields will continue to fight for a depth spot on Washington's 53-man roster after not recording a single stat last season in two appearances.
