Way (back) is active for Thursday's game against the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Way popped up on Monday's injury report due to a back injury, but he's gone through pregame warmups without suffering a setback and will play in Thursday's contest. Way averaged 49.0 yards per punt on five attempts against the Giants in Week 1, with a long of 64 yards.

Way (back) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game at Green Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Way left the Commanders' contest in Week 1 early with a back issue, but his participation at practice Tuesday and Wednesday signals there's a chance he could return to game action as soon as Thursday. If he can't go, Washington could choose to elevate Mitch Wishnowsky from its practice squad to its active roster for Week 2.

Way (back) was estimated as a limited participant in practice Tuesday, though Washington head coach Dan Quinn implied the punter will be available to play Thursday against Green Bay, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Way hurt his back in Sunday's Week 1 win over the Giants and was estimated as DNP on Monday. His upgrade to an estimation of limited Tuesday suggests that the veteran punter is trending in the right direction, as does Quinn's seeming confidence in Way's ability to suit up Thursday. Still, Washington worked out a pair of free-agent punters (Eddie Czaplicki and Mitch Wishnowsky) on Tuesday, so Way may not be fully in the clear.

Way is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants due to a back injury, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Way may have suffered the injury after hitting the ground back-first on a punt that was partially blocked by Abdul Carter. Way will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury, and it could impact his availability for the Commanders' next game against the Packers on Thursday, even if he returns late Sunday.

Way was cleared to return after being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

With Way avoiding a concussion, the 33-year-old will be able to resume punting duties for the Commanders.

Way (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Way sustained the injury after long snapper Camaron Cheeseman snapped the ball low, causing Way to dive for the ball and had a Rams' defender land on him. If he's unable to return, kicker Joey Slye would likely take over the punting duties.

Way was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Way spent six days in COVID protocols and was forced to miss Washington's Week 17 loss to the Eagles. Now healthy, Way will likely take over punting duties in Week 18 against the Giants.

Way (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Washington may now need to add a punter to the practice squad to play Week 17 if Way is unable to clear the health and safety protocols.

Way agreed to terms on a four-year, $15 million contract extension with the Redskins on Friday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Way ranks first in the league with 49.2 average yards per punt, and he's been named to the Pro Bowl accordingly. As a result, Washington has opted to lock up the standout punter for the foreseeable future.

Way (shin) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Way was seen sporting a walking boot following Washington's 34-17 loss to the Jets, but the 29-year-old punter was not limited during Wednesday's practice session and should be fine to take the field Sunday against Detroit.
