IR placement due to groin injury Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Seibert was placed on injured reserve Tuesday due to a groin injury, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Seibert had missed two straight games with a right hip injury before he returned to action for this past Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Cowboys. After missing three of his five kicks (two extra-point tries, one field goal) on the day, Seibert's placement on IR two days later was believed to be the result of an aggravation of the hip injury, but Quinn clarified that the kicker informed the team Monday he was nagged by a groin issue. Seibert will miss at least four games after being placed on IR, and the Commanders are likely to elevate Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad to handle kicking duties beginning with Sunday's matchup with the Titans.

Commanders place kicker Austin Seibert on injured reserve

The Washington Commanders have put kicker Austin Seibert on injured reserve

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • Associated Press

Commanders kicker Austin Seibert heads to injured reserve Washington also re-signs running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. to the active roster amid injury concerns.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM

Heads to IR The Commanders placed Seibert on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Seibert's placement on IR is presumably due to the right hip injury that prevented him from playing in Weeks 11 and 12. The 28-year-old was cleared to return to action in this past Sunday's game against the Cowboys, but he struggled mightily with two costly misses on point-after tries along with a missed 51-yard field goal -- in a 34-26 loss. The Commanders don't have another kicker on the roster at the moment, but Zane Gonzalez previously filled in during Seibert's two-game absence and will presumably be elevated from the practice squad once again to handle kicking duties this Sunday against the Titans. Seibert won't be eligible to return to action until Washington's Week 18 rematch with the Cowboys on Jan. 5.

Tua Tagovailoa reheats Dolphins; Texans QB C.J. Stroud's slump continues

Misses prove costly vs. Cowboys Seibert made two of his three field-goal tries and missed both of his two extra-point attempts during Sunday's 34-26 loss versus Dallas.

Impact Seibert's day at the office in Week 12 was far from ideal overall, but his most impactful mistake was missing an extra-point try that would have tied the game at 27-27 with 21 seconds remaining to play. Instead Washington had to attempt an onside kick, and like salt on a wound, Seibert's kick on that play was returned for a touchdown. He'll be looking to bounce back in Week 13 versus the Titans.

Will return to action Week 12 Seibert (right hip) was removed from the Commanders' injury report Saturday and is expected to play in Sunday's game versus Dallas.

Impact Seibert will thus make his return Sunday following a two-game absence due to a hip injury. The veteran kicker has been very productive when active this season -- he still ranks third in the league in total points scored (97) despite playing in only eight contests so far. With Seibert's return, Zane Gonzalez appears set to remain on Washington's practice squad after working as the team's placekicker each of the past two weeks.

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable, but 'trending' toward return Seibert (right hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Seibert has missed back-to-back games due to a right hip injury, but after opening Week 12 prep with a pair of limited practices, he got back to full participation Friday, indicating a return to action is on the horizon. Coach Dan Quinn intimated as much Friday, telling Ben Standig of The Athletic that Seibert is "trending" toward resuming kicking duties for the Commanders this weekend. There's a chance the team still elevates Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad Saturday, but if that doesn't happen, there's little doubt Seibert will be active about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

NOVEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited in practice Seibert (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Seibert has missed Washington's last two games with the right hip injury and isn't in the clear just yet, as he's remained limited in both of the Commanders' first two Week 12 practice sessions. He'll likely need to upgrade to full activity Friday to avoid taking a designation into Sunday's game against the Cowboys. If Seibert is forced to miss another game, the Commanders will likely elevate Zane Gonzalez from the practice squad once again to handle kicking duties.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in return to practice Seibert (hip) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact Seibert has a chance to return for Sunday's game against Dallas after missing the two previous contests. It's a favorable matchup, with the Cowboys ranking 31st in points allowed per game (29.3).
