Obada was released by the Commanders on Tuesday. The move opens a spot on the Commanders' 53-man roster for Marshon Lattimore, who was acquired from the Saints on Tuesday. Obada played in each of Washington's last four regular-season games while serving in rotational role at defensive end behind starters Dorance Armstrong and Clelin Ferrell. Over that span, Obada registered three tackles (one solo) across 52 defensive snaps. He should get interest from teams looking to add depth at defensive end.

Obada was released by the Commanders on Tuesday. The move opens a spot on the Commanders' 53-man roster for Marshon Lattimore, who was acquired from the Saints on Tuesday. Obada played in each of Washington's last four regular-season games while serving in rotational role at defensive end behind starters Dorance Armstrong and Clelin Ferrell. Over that span, Obada registered three tackles (one solo) across 52 defensive snaps. He should get interest from teams looking to add depth at defensive end.
Obada (lower leg) is active Sunday against the Ravens. Obada was activated from the reserve/PUP list Saturday, as he remained focused on his recovery from multiple leg fractures suffered last November. The return of the 32-year-old should be a boost to the Commanders' defensive line depth.
The Commanders activated Obada (lower leg) from the reserve/PUP list Saturday. Obada was placed on the PUP list ahead of Washington's regular-season opener and has been working his way back since. The defensive lineman had his practice window opened Oct. 2 and was able to log a trio of full practice sessions this week, giving him a good chance of returning to action Sunday versus Baltimore. Upon his return, Obada will likely take on a rotational role.
Obada (lower leg) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday. Obada has missed the mandatory four games since being placed on the PUP list as camp opened. The 32-year-old will now have a 21-day window to practice with the team before he needs to be added to the 53-man roster. Considering the amount of time Obada has missed, it's unlikely he'd suit up Sunday against the Browns, but greater clarity will likely be available closer to the Week 5 matchup.
Obada (lower leg) was placed on the reserve/PUP list by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports. Obada failed to appear in a game this preseason while continuing to recover from multiple lower leg fractures that he sustained in November and he'll now be forced to sit out the team's first four games of the regular season while on the PUP list. Obada is first eligible to return to the field in Week 5 against the Browns on Oct. 6.
Obada (lower leg) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Chick Hernandez of WUSA 9 reports. Obada suffered multiple lower leg fractures in late November, missing the final six games of the 2023 regular season after undergoing surgery. He is expected to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, but he'll require some additional time before he'll be able to practice in a full capacity at the Commanders' training camp.
The Commanders re-signed Obada (lower leg) on Thursday. Obada returns for a third consecutive season in Washington, after having played just five games in 2023 before needing to undergo right leg surgery. After a full offseason to recover, Odaba figures to be ready to contribute as a depth defensive end Week 1.
Odaba was carted off the field in the first quarter and will now be out for the rest of the game. In the 31-year-old's absence, K.J. Henry and Andre Jones should see increased playing time for the remainder of Sunday's contest.
