Jamal Agnew: Waived due to failed physical
The Commanders waived Agnew (undisclosed) on Tuesday.
Agnew failed his physical due to an undisclosed injury, and the wide receiver will be sent back to the waiver wire almost as soon as he was claimed off it. The weight of a failed physical may end up condemning the 30-year-old to being a practice squad addition at best for the remainder of the 2025 season.

Commanders' Jamal Agnew: New opportunity with Washington
The Commanders claimed Agnew off waivers from the Falcons on Monday.
Agnew was waived by the Falcons on Saturday, but he'll get a new chance with the Commanders for the final two games of the regular season. He gives Washington another return option on kickoffs and punts after rookie fourth-round wideout Jaylin Lane (ankle) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Agnew did not record a target across 11 regular-season games with Atlanta, so he's unlikely to have much of an impact on offense with Washington.

Jamal Agnew: Waived by Falcons
Atlanta waived Agnew on Saturday, Tori McElhaney and Terrin Waack of the team's official site report.
Agnew spent most of the 2025 campaign operating as one of the Falcons' top kick returners, but he was a healthy scratch in Week 15 and has now been cut by the team. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, Agnew will likely pursue a spot on a practice squad elsewhere in the league.

Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Scratched in Week 15
Agnew (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Agnew missed two games earlier in the season with a groin injury, but he's otherwise been one of Atlanta's primary kick returners. Mike Hughes looks likely to take over those duties against Tampa Bay with Agnew sidelined.

Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Good to go Week 11
Agnew (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Agnew ended Week 11 prep with back-to-back limited practices, and he has progressed enough in his recovery from a foot injury to play in Sunday's NFC South tilt. He has primarily served as a returner on special teams and has not recorded a target in seven regular-season games.

Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Questionable for Sunday
Agnew (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
The veteran wideout from San Diego upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to limited sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup. Agnew has operated as the Falcons' top return man this season, recording 567 kick-return yards and 96 punt-return yards across seven games. If he's inactive in Week 11, Mike Hughes (neck, questionable) could operate as the team's top return specialist.

Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Limited participant in practice
Agnew (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.
Agnew upgraded to limited participation Thursday after not practicing Wednesday. With another limited or full practice Friday, the 30-year-old will have a good chance to play against the Panthers on Sunday. If he is available, Agnew's main contributions should come on special teams as a returner.

Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Cleared to play
Agnew (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Out for Sunday
Agnew (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.
The veteran wideout was unable to practice all week after missing the Falcons' Week 2 win over the Vikings due to a groin injury, making it no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. With both Agnew and Casey Washington (concussion) out in Week 3, KhaDarel Hodge is projected to play a larger role in Atlanta's wide receiver room. Additionally, Ray-Ray McCloud is likely to serve as the team's top kick and punt returner.

Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Ruled out for SNF
Agnew (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Vikings, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Agnew was injured in the Falcons' Week 1 loss to the Bucs after returning a pair of kickoffs for 57 yards and two punts for 29 yards. Almost strictly a special teams player at this point in his career, Agnew hasn't caught a regular-season pass since 2023.

Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Optimistic after injury
Agnew said Monday that he "feels good" after injuring his groin in the third quarter of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Agnew played six snaps on special teams Sunday and finished with 57 kickoff-return yards and 29 punt-return yards. He's not in immediate danger of missing the Falcons' Week 2 game against the Vikings, but his practice participation over the coming week will be worth monitoring. Ray-Ray McCloud, Mike Hughes and Natrone Brooks would be candidates to handle return duties if Agnew is not cleared to play.

Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Dealing with groin injury
Agnew is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 1 game against Tampa Bay due to a groin injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Agnew didn't play in any preseason games due to an oblique injury, and he's now dealing with a groin issue. He's a depth wideout for the Falcons, but his most prominent role is as a kick and punt returner. Ray-Ray McCloud, Mike Hughes and Natrone Brooks are candidates to work in the return game if Agnew can't return.

Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Past oblique injury
Agnew (oblique) was not listed on the Falcons' injury report Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
An oblique injury prevented Agnew from suiting up for any of the Falcons' three preseason games. His absence from Wednesday's injury report indicates that he's past the issue and on track to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener against Tampa Bay. The veteran wideout is expected to see most of his playing time on special teams as a returner on kickoffs and punts.
