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) 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.
Chinn is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints. The safety was having a nice day before leaving the field, recording seven tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for a loss. Chinn now has 93 tackles (60 solo) on the year. Percy Butler and Jeremy Reaves are Washington's backup safeties.
Chinn recorded 13 tackles (10 solo) during Thursday's 26-18 loss at Philadelphia. Chinn played all 70 of Washington's defensive snaps in Week 11, and he posted 13 tackles for his third game straight. He's on pace for a career year in that category and projects as a solid IDP option in most formats when the Commanders host the Cowboys in Week 12.
Chinn finished with 13 tackles (six solo), an interception and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Steelers. The safety also played on all 74 defensive snaps. Chinn has 67 tackles (41 solo), two pass breakups, including an interception, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 2024.
Chinn recorded 13 tackles (seven solo), including two tackles for losses, and a pass defensed in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Giants. The safety also played on all 59 defensive snaps. Chinn, who signed a one-year deal in the offseason, now has 54 tackles (35 solo), a pass breakup, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in nine games this season.
The Commanders and Chinn have agreed to terms on a one-year deal, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. The deal is worth up to $5.1 million, according to Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com. After playing at least 91 percent of the defensive snaps in each of his first three seasons, Chinn's role on defense was significantly scaled back in 2023. He saw action on just 39 percent of the defensive snaps in the 12 games in which he was healthy. Washington is a good change of scenery for Chinn, who will now get to work with defensive guru coach Dan Quinn and DC Joe Whitt.
