Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Lands on IR
Colson Yankoff (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve by the Washington Commanders on Saturday.Yankoff suffered a hamstring injury during the practice week and didn't practice Friday after being a limited participant Thursday. The issue appears to be fairly serious, as Yankoff will need to miss at least the next four games while on IR. The tight end's absence is unlikely to impact the Commanders' offensive gameplan much, as Yankoff has played only six offensive snaps on the season. He's been a staple on special teams, though, and will be missed in that regard.

Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Ruled out due to hamstring injury
Colson Yankoff (hamstring) did not practice Friday and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.Yankoff appears to have picked up a hamstring injury during practice this week. He popped up on Thursday's injury report as a limited practice participant and was listed as a DNP on Friday. The injury is severe enough for Yankoff to miss Sunday's game, but with the Washington Commanders playing on a short week in Week 11, that could mean he may be sidelined for Thursday's NFC East clash against the Eagles on Nov. 14. With Yankoff sidelined for Sunday's game, Washington will go with Zach Ertz, John Bates and Ben Sinnott as the three tight ends on the active roster.
