GAME LOG

INJURIES
Team-high nine stops in loss Holcomb recorded nine tackles and one pass defense during Sunday's 24-8 loss to the Eagles.
Impact Holcomb led the team in tackles for a second straight game and has 24 total tackles across the first three weeks of the season. The 2019 fifth-round pick has two 100-tackle campaigns across his first three years in the NFL, including a career-high 142 stops last season.

Team-high 10 tackles in loss Holcomb recorded 10 tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 36-27 loss to the Lions.
Impact Holcomb got off to a slow start in the season opener and dealt with a quadriceps issue leading up to Week 2. However, he cleared the injury report ahead of Sunday and bounced back by recording his first game of the season with at least 10 tackles. The linebacker has recorded 100-plus tackles twice during his first three years in the NFL, and after just two games, he appears on pace for a third such season.

No injury designation for Week 2 Holcomb doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Lions.
Impact Holcomb popped up on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a quadriceps issue, but he appears to be a full-go heading into Week 2. The fourth-year linebacker recorded five tackles (two solo) across 62 snaps in the season opener and is set for another sizable role against Detroit.

Logs limited practice Holcomb (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Ben Standig of The Athletic repots.
Impact Holcomb did not appear on the team's injury report Wednesday, and he appeared to log a full practice. The move to a limited session Thursday could just be precautionary. However, it will still shift the 26-year-old into the questionable territory. Holcomb is a significant piece to the Commanders' defense as their starting middle linebacker, so any potential absence would certainly be a detriment to the unit. If he is unable to suit up Sunday against the Lions, Milo Eifler would likely be called upon to start.

Enjoys career year Holcomb played 16 of 17 games in 2021 and finished with career highs for tackles (142), pass defenses (seven) and interceptions (two).
Impact Holcomb was one of the few guys who played up to or above his reputation in 2021 on a disappointing Washington defense, though PFF's grading system (54.8, 40th of 88 linebackers) doesn't paint as pretty of a picture as the counting stats. Either way, the 25-year-old linebacker seemingly did enough to retain a three-down role for the fourth and final year of his rookie contract, after playing 100 percent of Washington's defensive snaps in 15 of his 16 appearances in 2021. A 2019 fifth-round pick, Holcomb won't cost Washington much in 2022 if he plays out his rookie contract, but there'll likely be discussions this offseason for an extension.
