Overview
- K’Lavon Chaisson returned to practice on Wednesday, Sept. 2, after missing a couple of weeks with a knee injury and was in pads for the team’s final session of the week.
- Odafe Oweh remained out of practice on Wednesday with a calf issue but head coach Dan Quinn said Oweh is making progress and could be a full participant in practice next week.
- Both players were early training-camp standouts after being signed in free agency to upgrade the Commanders’ edge rush, and their absences forced the team to lean on younger depth like rookie Joshua Josephs.
- Washington’s training staff has taken a cautious approach to camp injuries, which shaped the decision to limit preseason work and slow each player’s return to reduce the risk of setbacks.
- Chaisson’s one-year, $11 million deal and his 2025 breakthrough with the Patriots frame him as a potential complementary pass-rush force opposite Oweh, and timely returns matter because other protection concerns have affected roster planning.
