Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Remains limited Thursday
Rotowire
Chinn (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Chinn opened the week with two consecutive limited practices due to a concussion he suffered against the Saints in Week 15. A full practice Friday would indicate that Chinn is progressing through the league's concussion protocols, though he would have to be cleared in order to play against the Eagles on Sunday. Over his last six games, Chinn has registered 52 tackles (32 solo), including 1.0 sacks, three pass defenses (including one interception) and one fumble recovery.

Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Chinn (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
The Southern Illinois product sustained a concussion in the Commanders' Week 15 win over the Saints, so his limited participation in Wednesday's practice is a positive sign for his potential availability in Week 16, when the Eagles visit Washington. However, Chinn still needs to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to be eligible to suit up Sunday.

Commanders' Jonathan Allen: Practice window opens
Rotowire
The Commanders designated Allen (pectoral) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Allen, who has been recovering from a torn left pectoral muscle sustained during Week 6, will have 21 days to be evaluated at practice without counting against the 53-man roster. He can be fully activated at any point during that stretch, meaning Allen could tentatively retake the field as early as Sunday versus the Eagles, depending on his recovery progress. John Keim of ESPN.com reports, though, that while Allen's injury wasn't as bad as initially feared, his best chances of returning in the regular season will come Week 17 or Week 18.

Commanders' Quan Martin: Nursing shoulder issue
Rotowire
Martin (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Despite the Commanders having a Week 14 bye, Martin popped up on Wednesday's injury report with a shoulder issue. He likely sustained the injury in Washington's Week 13 win over the Titans, as he played just 45 defensive snaps, his lowest mark since Week 7.

Rotowire
The Rams claimed Forbes off waivers Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Forbes, a 2023 first-round pick from Mississippi State, was waived by the Commanders on Nov. 30 after struggling throughout his first 20 games in the NFL. He recorded 45 total tackles and 12 passes defended, including two interceptions, during his time in Washington, but also allowed 43 completions for 673 yards and three touchdowns in coverage. However, he's already found a new home with the Rams and will likely serve as a depth piece in the team's secondary as the season progresses.
