Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Seibert was placed on injured reserve Tuesday due to a groin injury, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Seibert had missed two straight games with a right hip injury before he returned to action for this past Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Cowboys. After missing three of his five kicks (two extra-point tries, one field goal) on the day, Seibert's placement on IR two days later was believed to be the result of an aggravation of the hip injury, but Quinn clarified that the kicker informed the team Monday he was nagged by a groin issue. Seibert will miss at least four games after being placed on IR, and the Commanders are likely to elevate Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad to handle kicking duties beginning with Sunday's matchup with the Titans.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Seibert was placed on injured reserve Tuesday due to a groin injury, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Seibert had missed two straight games with a right hip injury before he returned to action for this past Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Cowboys. After missing three of his five kicks (two extra-point tries, one field goal) on the day, Seibert's placement on IR two days later was believed to be the result of an aggravation of the hip injury, but Quinn clarified that the kicker informed the team Monday he was nagged by a groin issue. Seibert will miss at least four games after being placed on IR, and the Commanders are likely to elevate Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad to handle kicking duties beginning with Sunday's matchup with the Titans.
The Commanders placed Seibert on injured reserve Tuesday. Seibert's placement on IR is presumably due to the right hip injury that prevented him from playing in Weeks 11 and 12. The 28-year-old was cleared to return to action in this past Sunday's game against the Cowboys, but he struggled mightily with two costly misses on point-after tries along with a missed 51-yard field goal -- in a 34-26 loss. The Commanders don't have another kicker on the roster at the moment, but Zane Gonzalez previously filled in during Seibert's two-game absence and will presumably be elevated from the practice squad once again to handle kicking duties this Sunday against the Titans. Seibert won't be eligible to return to action until Washington's Week 18 rematch with the Cowboys on Jan. 5.
Seibert made two of his three field-goal tries and missed both of his two extra-point attempts during Sunday's 34-26 loss versus Dallas. Seibert's day at the office in Week 12 was far from ideal overall, but his most impactful mistake was missing an extra-point try that would have tied the game at 27-27 with 21 seconds remaining to play. Instead Washington had to attempt an onside kick, and like salt on a wound, Seibert's kick on that play was returned for a touchdown. He'll be looking to bounce back in Week 13 versus the Titans.
Seibert (right hip) was removed from the Commanders' injury report Saturday and is expected to play in Sunday's game versus Dallas. Seibert will thus make his return Sunday following a two-game absence due to a hip injury. The veteran kicker has been very productive when active this season -- he still ranks third in the league in total points scored (97) despite playing in only eight contests so far. With Seibert's return, Zane Gonzalez appears set to remain on Washington's practice squad after working as the team's placekicker each of the past two weeks.
Seibert (right hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Seibert has missed back-to-back games due to a right hip injury, but after opening Week 12 prep with a pair of limited practices, he got back to full participation Friday, indicating a return to action is on the horizon. Coach Dan Quinn intimated as much Friday, telling Ben Standig of The Athletic that Seibert is "trending" toward resuming kicking duties for the Commanders this weekend. There's a chance the team still elevates Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad Saturday, but if that doesn't happen, there's little doubt Seibert will be active about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
Seibert (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Seibert has missed Washington's last two games with the right hip injury and isn't in the clear just yet, as he's remained limited in both of the Commanders' first two Week 12 practice sessions. He'll likely need to upgrade to full activity Friday to avoid taking a designation into Sunday's game against the Cowboys. If Seibert is forced to miss another game, the Commanders will likely elevate Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad once again to handle kicking duties.
Seibert (hip) was a limited practice participant Wednesday. Seibert has a chance to return for Sunday's game against Dallas after missing the two previous contests. It's a favorable matchup, with the Cowboys ranking 31st in points allowed per game (29.3).
Seibert (hip) was spotted on the field during the open portion of Wednesday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Seibert has missed the last two games due to a right hip injury, but his return to drills to kick off Week 12 prep is a decent sign that he's trending toward suiting up Sunday against the Cowboys for the first time since Week 9. The Commanders' first Week 12 practice report will be posted later Wednesday and will reveal the extent of his practice participation.
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn ruled Seibert (hip) out for Thursday's game against the Eagles, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports. After missing this past Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Steelers with a right hip injury, Seibert had been listed as a non-participant on the Commanders' first two Week 11 injury reports and wasn't spotted working out with Washington's specialists during Wednesday's session. The Commanders are likely to elevate Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad for a second straight game to handle kicking duties, while Seibert will set his sights on a potential return to action Week 12 versus the Cowboys on Nov. 24.
