Magee's 21-day window to be moved to the 53-man roster was coming to an end, and if he had not been activated would be forced to miss the remainder of the season.

Magee (knee) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday. Magee's 21-day window to be moved to the 53-man roster was coming to an end, and if he had not been activated would be forced to miss the remainder of the season. However, barring any setbacks the rookie linebacker should make his NFL debut Sunday against the Bears.
Magee (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. Magee has missed the mandatory four games since being on IR at the beginning of Week 1 prep. The rookie linebacker 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 Magee 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.
Magee (knee) was placed on injured reserve by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports. Magee underwent surgery to address a meniscus injury over a week ago, and he'll now be forced to miss at least Washington's first four games of the 2024 season. The linebacker is eligible to return as soon as Week 5 against the Browns on Oct. 6.
Head coach Dan Quinn told reporters Monday that Magee underwent a procedure on his knee, but the injury isn't expected to be season-ending, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports. The rookie linebacker out of Temple sustained a meniscus injury during the Commanders' first preseason game against the Jets, and it appears he'll miss the foreseeable future after having surgery. According to Quinn, there's no timetable for Magee's return at the moment, but Washington's head coach remains confident that Magee will return at some point this season. Expect Justin Hollins to see more work as a rotational inside linebacker with Magee sidelined.
Magee sustained a knee injury during Saturday's game against the Jets, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. It's not clear at this point just how severe the issue might be, but Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that it would keep Magee out for the rest of the week. His absence could open up some opportunities for fellow rookie Bo Bauer to make an impression during drills.
