Van Ginkel (concussion) did not practice Thursday.

Van Ginkel remains in the league's concussion protocol and has registered back-to-back DNPs to begin the week, putting his status in doubt for Sunday night's date with the Falcons. Van Ginkel played 91 percent of the defensive snaps in last Monday night's Week 1 win over the Bears, logging five tackles (three solo) and a pair of pass breakups. If Van Ginkel is unable to go in Week 2, Dallas Turner would be in line for increased playing time opposite Jonathan Greenard.

Rodriguez (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Packers.

Rodriguez will be a healthy scratch for a second straight week while the Commanders roll with a three-man backfield of Austin Ekeler, Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols. Rodriguez's next opportunity to play is Week 3 against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 21, though he likely won't play in that contest unless Ekeler, Croskey-Merritt or McNichols are unavailable.

Banks (ankle/groin) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Commanders, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Banks was listed as a DNP on all three practice reports this past week due to ankle and groin injuries, and his next chance to play is Week 3 against the Browns on Sunday, Sept. 21. Jordan Morgan will likely start at left guard Thursday in Banks' absence.

Tom (oblique) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Commanders, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Tom suffered an oblique injury during the Packers' Week 1 win over the Lions. The injury prevented him from practicing this past week, and his absence means Darian Kinnard will likely start at right tackle Thursday. Tom's next opportunity to play is Week 3 against the Browns on Sunday, Sept. 21.

Anderson (knee) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Commanders, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Anderson was listed as a limited practice participant this past week due to a lingering knee injury, but he hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to play Thursday. His next opportunity to make his 2025 regular-season debut is Week 3 against Cleveland on Sunday, Sept. 21.

Sims (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Commanders, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Sims will be a healthy scratch for a second straight game, and his next chance to make his 2025 debut is Week 3 against the Browns on Sunday, Sept. 21. Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick will be the Packers' active tight ends for Thursday's clash.

Hobbs (knee) is active for Thursday's game against Washington, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Hobbs has fully recovered from an early-August knee procedure, which prevented him from playing against the Lions in Week 1. The 2021 fifth-rounder signed a four-year, $48 million contract with the Packers in March and is expected to serve in a prominent role in the secondary alongside Carrington Valentine, Keisean Nixon, Evan Williams and Xavier McKinney. Hobbs appeared in 11 regular-season games for the Raiders in 2024 and finished with 49 tackles (33 solo) and five pass defenses (one interception).

Reddick was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a foot injury.

The 2017 first-rounder likely picked up the injury during Tampa Bay's 23-20 win over Atlanta this past Sunday, when he logged three tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, while playing 60 of 76 defensive snaps. Reddick will have two more chances to practice in full and avoid an injury tag heading into the Bucs' Week 2 road game against the Texans on Monday.

Parsons (back) is listed as active Thursday against the Commanders, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

The Packers continue to take a cautious approach with Parsons' back injury, listing him as limited on all three practice reports for a second consecutive week. Now that he again has received the all clear for game action, his workload will be of interest just four days removed from earning 30 of 67 defensive snaps (45 percent) in a Week 1 win versus the Lions. While Washington QB Jayden Daniels is noted for his mobility, Parsons notched 4.5 sacks of him in six quarters of play in two matchups between the Cowboys and Commanders during the 2024 season.

Izien (oblique) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Izien wasn't cleared to play in the Buccaneers' Week 1 win over the Falcons due to an oblique injury that he picked up in mid-August. However, his ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he should make his 2025 regular-season debut against the Texans on Monday. Izien appeared in 14 regular-season games for the Bucs in 2024 and finished with 75 tackles (48 solo), three pass defenses (one interception) and one forced fumble.
