Chinn finished the 2024 regular season with 117 tackles (73 solo), five pass defenses, two sacks, two fumble recoveries, one interception and one forced fumble in 17 games. Chinn signed a one-year, $4.1 million contract with Washington last offseason, following a four-year stint with the Panthers. He bounced back from disappointing, injury-plagued seasons in 2022 and 2023, finishing top five among defensive backs in tackles for the third time in his career (2020-21). While he may never be a standout in coverage, Chinn should get plenty of offers to be a starting strong safety if the Commanders don't re-sign him before the beginning of the 2025 league year in mid-March.

Chinn finished the 2024 regular season with 117 tackles (73 solo), five pass defenses, two sacks, two fumble recoveries, one interception and one forced fumble in 17 games. Chinn signed a one-year, $4.1 million contract with Washington last offseason, following a four-year stint with the Panthers. He bounced back from disappointing, injury-plagued seasons in 2022 and 2023, finishing top five among defensive backs in tackles for the third time in his career (2020-21). While he may never be a standout in coverage, Chinn should get plenty of offers to be a starting strong safety if the Commanders don't re-sign him before the beginning of the 2025 league year in mid-March.
Chinn (ribs) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Chinn was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a rib injury he likely picked up during the Commanders' Week 18 win over the Cowboys. The issue doesn't appear to be serious for him as he was able to practice without restrictions Thursday. The 2020 second-round pick should be healthy enough to be an every-snap defender in Sunday's NFC wild-card round game against Tampa Bay. Chinn finished the 2024 regular season with 117 tackles (73 solo), including 2.0 sacks, five pass defenses (including one interception), two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble across 17 games.
Chinn (ribs) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday. Chinn played 100 percent of the Commanders' defensive snaps in Week 18 but may have gotten nicked up along the way. He'll work to ramp up his activity Thursday or Friday ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the Buccaneers.
Chinn finished Sunday's 36-33 win over the Eagles with six tackles (three solo). Chinn managed to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols in time for Sunday's NFC East bout. He ended up playing 69 defensive snaps and finished tied with Jer'Zhan Newton as the Commanders' fourth-leading tackler. Chin is now up to 99 combined tackles through 15 regular-season games, and he'll look to crack the century mark for the third time of his five-year NFL career in Week 17 against the Falcons.
Chinn (concussion) is active for Sunday's matchup versus Philadelphia. Chinn suffered a concussion last Sunday against the Saints and was limited in each of the Commanders' first two practices this week. However, he upgraded to full participation Friday and has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time to take the field Sunday. Chinn is thus clear to take on his usual starting role at strong safety in a tough matchup against the Eagles.
Chinn (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles. Chinn upgraded to full practice Friday after opening the week with consecutive limited sessions due to a concussion sustained in Washington's Week 15 win over the Saints, so it appears he's trending toward playing Sunday. However, the Southern Illinois product must still clear the NFL's five-step protocol in order to suit up in Week 16. If he's unable to do so, expect Percy Butler to serve as the Commanders' top strong safety.
Chinn (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Chinn opened the week with two consecutive limited practices due to a concussion he suffered against the Saints in Week 15. A full practice Friday would indicate that Chinn is progressing through the league's concussion protocols, though he would have to be cleared in order to play against the Eagles on Sunday. Over his last six games, Chinn has registered 52 tackles (32 solo), including 1.0 sacks, three pass defenses (including one interception) and one fumble recovery.
Chinn (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The Southern Illinois product sustained a concussion in the Commanders' Week 15 win over the Saints, so his limited participation in Wednesday's practice is a positive sign for his potential availability in Week 16, when the Eagles visit Washington. However, Chinn still needs to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to be eligible to suit up Sunday.
Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Chinn suffered a concussion in Sunday's win over the Saints, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports. Chinn will now need to pass through the league's five-step protocols before gaining clearance to play and should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
