Top Nick Cross News

  • Commanders' Nick Cross: Cleared to play MNF

    Cross (illness) is active for Monday night's game against the 49ers.

    Cross was a full participant in all three practices during Week 6 prep, and the fifth-year defensive back has been cleared by medical staff to return from a three-game absence due to an internal injury. His return means Quan Martin will revert to a depth role in the secondary for Monday night's game.

  • Commanders' Nick Cross: Looks on track to play Monday

    Commanders general manager Adam Peters said that Cross (illness), who is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 49ers, is "trending in the right direction" to be available to play, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

    Cross has been sidelined for the Commanders' last three games with what has been described as an internal injury, but he's been practicing for two weeks and looks poised to put an end to his absence Monday. The fifth-year safety was a full participant in practice Wednesday through Friday and should be ready to reclaim a starting role in the secondary.

  • Commanders' Nick Cross: Will practice in full

    Cross (illness) will be a full participant in practices ahead of Monday's game against the 49ers, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

    Cross was battling an illness, keeping him off the field for the Commanders' last three games. However, he is good to go in Week 6 versus San Francisco, likely resulting in fewer snaps for Quan Martin.

  • Commanders' Nick Cross: Ruled out for Sunday

    Cross (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Cross was a full participant in Wednesday's practice but downgraded to limited for the Thursday and Friday sessions. The safety appears to have contracted a significant illness and will be unable to suit up for Sunday's game. Quan Martin is the sole active safety for Week 5 outside of starting free safety Jeremy Reaves.

  • Commanders' Nick Cross: Limited at Thursday's practice

    Cross (illness) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

    Cross was able to manage a full practice despite being sick Wednesday, but he's now trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's game versus the Giants. He'll probably need to practice in full again Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Commanders' Nick Cross: Logs full practice Wednesday

    Cross (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Cross missed the Commanders' last two games due to an illness, but the 2022 third-rounder's full practice Wednesday puts him on track to return against the Giants on Sunday. His return means Quan Martin will likely revert to a rotational role behind Cross and Jeremy Reaves.

  • Commanders' Nick Cross: Will remain out for Week 4

    Cross (illness) won't travel to London with the Commanders and has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Colts.

    It will be the second straight absence for Cross, and what was originally deemed an "internal injury" is now being called an "illness." It's not quite clear what he's dealing with, but the fifth-year safety's inability to suit up will leave a hole in Washington's secondary. Quan Martin logged a greater defensive snap share in Week 3 and will likely do so again Sunday in Cross's stead.

  • Commanders' Nick Cross: Ruled out versus Seattle

    Cross (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

    It's unknown what kind of issue Cross is dealing with or if it will result in a stint on injured reserve. For now, he will at least be unavailable versus Seattle in Week 3. Without Cross on the field, Quan Martin could be in line for more snaps.

  • Commanders' Nick Cross: Monitored in Dallas for injury

    Cross (undisclosed) stayed in Dallas overnight Sunday due to an internal injury, and his status for Week 3 against the Seahawks is up in the air, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

    Cross picked up the injury at some point during the Commanders' 37-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday, when he played every single defensive snap while logging three solo tackles. He was cleared to fly back to Virginia on Monday, and Wednesday's injury report should provide some clarity on his status for Week 3. Quan Martin would figure to be the next man up at safety if Cross were to miss time.

  • Commanders' Nick Cross: Eight tackles in loss

    Cross logged eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Eagles.

    Cross played 98 percent of the Commanders' defensive snaps in the contest and was on the field for 54 plays. The starting strong safety did not play a single special-teams snap in the game and was purely a defender.
