Igbinoghene signed a contract with the Commanders on Sunday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Iginoghene had an underwhelming first four years of his career. After tallying 29 tackles and five passes defended over 32 regular-season games with Miami, the 2020 first-round pick was traded to Dallas ahead of the 2023 regular season. He never managed to carve out a significant role with the Cowboys, primarily playing on special teams across five appearances with the team. Igbinogene will now follow former Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn to Washington.

The Dolphins declined Igbinoghene's fifth-year option Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Igbinoghene has struggled during his first three years in the NFL, as he's logged only 29 tackles (25 solo) and a single interception in just five starts. The 2020 first-round pick has found himself buried on the depth chart and played only 56 defensive snaps over the team's final nine games last season. With the Dolphins adding three new cornerbacks during the offseason in Jalen Ramsey, Cam Smith and Keion Crossen, Igbinoghene might have an even harder time getting onto the field during the 2023 campaign.

Igbinoghene had four tackles (three solo), one pass breakup and one interception during Sunday night's 16-10 win over the Steelers. Igbinoghene's toe-tapping interception came on the Steelers' last play of the game, when he picked off Kenny Pickett in the end zone to seal a win for Miami. The 2020 first-round pick was able to provide a much-needed spark for Miami's depleted secondary, which also saw safety Brandon Jones (knee) depart the Week 7 win early. With Byron Jones (ankle) still on the PUP list, Igbinoghene could be in line for another increased defensive role Week 7 versus the Lions.

Igbinoghene (undisclosed) was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday. Igbinoghene missed the Dolphins' final two games of the season after landing in COVID-19 protocols Jan. 1. He appeared in seven contests for Miami during the 2021-22 campaign, but he played mostly on special teams and recorded just six solo tackles.

Igbinoghene was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday. Igbinoghene had been active for each of the Dolphins' last four games. Miami will do without some of its special teams depth as a result.
