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 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.
Chinn was limited at practice all week, so his availability for Sunday seems close to a coin-flip proposition. If he was able to suit up, he'd figure to step back into a rotational role in the Panthers' defensive backfield.
Chinn's 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve was opened Wednesday, but he won't return in Week 12. The safety was limited in all three of Carolina's practices this week, and if he can upgrade to full participation in the lead-up to a Week 13 game against the Buccaneers, Chinn has a good chance of making his return then. He will need to be officially activated from IR in order to play.
The move starts the clock on a 21-day window during which Carolina can officially activate Chinn before they'd be forced to shut him down for the remainder of the season. The Panthers' injury reports during the week will provide insight into his potential availability for Sunday's game at Tennessee.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Wednesday that Chinn could miss up to six weeks while dealing with a significant quad injury. The fourth-year safety out of Southern Illinois has 23 tackles (15 solo) and a pass deflection in six games this season. Chinn will be forced to miss at least the next four games while on IR, which would mean that his earliest date to return would be Week 12 against the Titans.
