Ben Nikkel: Breaking News

Gets waived by Washington

The Commanders waived Nikkel (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Tuesday per the NFL's transaction log. It's not clear at this point how Nikkel got hurt or how severe the injury he's dealing with is. In any case, the injury settlement is good news for him, as it means he won't be required by rule to sit out for the entire 2024 season.
