Impact Sinnott is healthy again after sustaining an ankle injury in the Week 10 loss to Detroit. The 2024 second-round pick should resume his role as the team's No. 3 tight end against Denver.

Downgraded to out The Commanders announced Saturday that Sinnott (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins in Madrid.
Impact Sinnott will miss his first game of the season due to an ankle injury, after he was added to Thursday's injury report as a limited participant and then missed practice entirely Friday. In his stead, John Bates and Colson Yankoff will handle expanded depth roles behind starting tight end Zach Ertz versus Miami on Sunday.

Questionable after Friday's DNP Sinnott (ankle) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Impact Sinnott's trending in the wrong direction, as he was added to Washington's injury report as a limited participant in practice Thursday and was unable to practice in any capacity Friday. John Bates and Colson Yankoff are available to provide depth behind Zach Ertz in Madrid against the Dolphins if Sinnott's declared out.
NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Added to injury report Sinnott (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday.
Impact Sinnott wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so it appears his ankle issue occurred during practice. The second-year pro has an opportunity to see increased receiving work Sunday versus the Dolphins in Madrid, if healthy enough to play, given that wide receivers Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Treylon Burks (finger) have both already been ruled out. That said, across 10 regular-season games so far Sinnott has only tallied three grabs for 31 yards and one touchdown (on three targets), as Zach Ertz remains Washington's clear top tight end.

Nabs second reception of season Sinnott took the field for 11 of the Commanders' 53 offensive snaps and reeled in his lone target for a 22-yard gain in Monday's 28-7 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact A second-round pick in 2024, Sinnott was lauded for his pass-catching chops coming out of Kansas State but has thus far struggled to carve out a role in his first season and a half in the professional ranks. He came through with one of the Commanders' bigger plays of the night Monday, but a lack of steady playing time will likely continue to hurt Sinnott's chances of making an impact in most weeks. Sinnott is the clear No. 3 tight end in Washington, with his 21 percent share in Week 8 placing him firmly behind Zach Ertz (62 percent) and John Bates (55 percent).

Finishes without a catch Sinnott finished without a catch on one target in Monday's preseason loss to the Bengals.
Impact Sinnott was a second-round pick last year, but there hasn't been much hint of him making a push to overtake 33-year-old Zach Ertz, who was among the players rested Monday night. Sinnott took a snap on the opening drive with Jayden Daniels, but only in a multi-TE formation, whereas John Bates was in for every play. It looks like Sinnott may just be the No. 3 TE again unless an injury to Ertz opens up the pass-catching role.

Commanders TE Prepared for Increased Role with Two-Word Proclamation Ben Sinnott, Washington’s second-round pick last year, has had a great offseason that has prepared him for more action this season.

Dan Quinn | Ben Sinnott 'had just a fantastic offseason' Head coach Dan Quinn addressed the media before practice on June 11.
JUNE 11 • COMMANDERS.COM
Impressive in offseason practices Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Sinnott is one of the young players who has stood out during the offseason program, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Selected 53rd overall last spring after a standout combine performance, Sinnott was merely Washington's No. 3 TE throughout his rookie season, catching five passes on 311 offensive snaps. He has all the raw physical tools to become a quality NFL starter, but there's no assurance the opportunity comes along this year, as the Commanders re-signed both Zach Ertz and John Bates during the offseason. It at least sounds like Sinnott is making progress in Year 2 and earning more confidence from his coaches.

Buried on depth chart all season Sinnott finished his rookie season with five catches for 28 yards and a touchdown on five targets, adding one catch for 23 yards on a fake punt in three playoff games.
Impact Sinnott spent his entire rookie season third on the depth chart, behind Zach Ertz and blocker John Bates, neither of whom is under contract for 2025. It's possible the 2024 second-round pick gets a starting opportunity ahead of his second pro season, but the lack of playing time as a rookie still isn't the best sign for his future. Still, Sinnott's combination of size, speed and draft capital could make him a late-round sleeper for fantasy in 2025, especially if the Commanders don't re-sign Ertz or otherwise make a large investment in a receiving-focused TE.

Cleared to play against Detroit Sinnott (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the Lions.
Impact Sinnott injured his shoulder during the Commanders' NFC wild-card win over the Buccaneers this past Monday. He was limited in practice all week, but he has done enough to avoid an injury tag heading into Saturday's contest. Sinnott will serve as Washington's No. 3 tight end behind Zach Ertz (ribs) and John Bates.

Logs another limited session Sinnott (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact The 2024 second-round pick from Kansas State has now opened the Commanders' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions after sustaining a shoulder injury in the team's wild-card win over the Buccaneers. Sinnott's practice participation Thursday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play through the issue in Saturday's divisional round matchup against the Lions. If he's unable to suit up, Washington's tight end room will likely consist of Zach Ertz (ribs) and John Bates.

Limited in practice to open week Sinnott (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Tuesday.
Impact Sinnott hurt his shoulder in the first half of Sunday's wild-card win against Tampa Bay, but he was able to return after halftime. The rookie tight end logged 10 percent of Washington's offensive snaps in the victory -- which is in line with his usual snap share in recent weeks -- and didn't get any touches or targets. Sinnott's practice participation level Wednesday and Thursday should determine whether he is tagged with an injury designation heading into the weekend.

Returns to action Sinnott (shoulder) returned to action in Sunday night's wild-card game against Tampa Bay.
Impact Sinnott suffered a shoulder injury in the first half, but he has now returned to the field to open the second half. He'll continue to operate as the team's No. 3 tight end behind Zach Ertz and John Bates.

Questionable to return Sunday Sinnott (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday night's wild-card game against the Buccaneers.
Impact Sinnott went down with a shoulder injury in the first half, exiting the contest as a result. In his absence, Zach Ertz and John Bates will continue to handle the lion's share of the offensive work at tight end.
