The Commanders placed Owens (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports. Owens will miss the last two games of the season due to an ankle injury. The undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech will end the regular season with 11 tackles (seven solo) and one forced fumble across 12 games while playing solely on special teams. He could be activated off IR and play for the Commanders again, but only if Washington were to make it to the Super Bowl.
Owens (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Owens will miss the final two games of the regular season due to an ankle injury he picked up against the Eagles in Week 16, and he'll now aim to be available for the Commanders' first game of the postseason. Owens will finish the regular season with 11 tackles (seven solo) and one forced fumble across 12 games while serving solely on special teams.
Owens (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons. The 23-year-old from Texas Tech played 27 special-teams snaps in the Commanders' Week 16 win over the Eagles, recording three solo tackles. However, it appears Owens sustained an ankle injury in the process, as he was held out of practice all week. Darrick Forrest could see additional special-teams snaps with Owens sidelined in Week 17.
Owens (shin) was a full practice participant Friday and carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears. Owens has been sidelined for the Commanders' last three games due to a shin injury he picked up in Week 4 against the Cardinals. He opened the week with consecutive limited practices, but he managed to finish strong with a full practice Friday and he'll be available for Sunday's contest. Prior to his injury, Owens logged two tackles (one solo) across 61 special-teams snaps over four regular-season games.
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Friday that Owens (shin) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Owens will miss a third consecutive game as he works his way back from a shin injury. The depth safety returned to practice as a limited participant Thursday, but he'll need more time to get healthy before retaking the field. In his four appearances this season, Owens has contributed exclusively on special teams.
Owens (shin) is out for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Owens will miss hiss second straight game as he navigates his way back from a shin injury. The safety has two tackles (one solo) so far this year as he's served most of his playing time on special teams.
Owens (shin) is inactive Sunday against the Browns. Owens suffered the injury in Week 4 against the Cardinals and will remain sidelined in Week 5. His absence will be a blow to the Commanders' special teams unit and secondary depth.
Owens (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Arizona, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports. Owens left the game in the first half with an injury, returned to the field, and has now suffered another injury. His absence doesn't carry much of an impact on Washington's game plan.
Owens (shoulder) returned to Sunday's contest against the Cardinals. Owens suffered a shoulder injury in the first half, and following halftime he was able to return to the field. The safety sees all of his usage on special teams.
