Let go by Washington Obada was released by the Commanders on Tuesday.
Impact The move opens a spot on the Commanders' 53-man roster for Marshon Lattimore, who was acquired from the Saints on Tuesday. Obada played in each of Washington's last four regular-season games while serving in rotational role at defensive end behind starters Dorance Armstrong and Clelin Ferrell. Over that span, Obada registered three tackles (one solo) across 52 defensive snaps. He should get interest from teams looking to add depth at defensive end.
NOVEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Set for season debut Obada (lower leg) is active Sunday against the Ravens.
Impact Obada was activated from the reserve/PUP list Saturday, as he remained focused on his recovery from multiple leg fractures suffered last November. The return of the 32-year-old should be a boost to the Commanders' defensive line depth.
OCTOBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Lifted from reserve/PUP list The Commanders activated Obada (lower leg) from the reserve/PUP list Saturday.
Impact Obada was placed on the PUP list ahead of Washington's regular-season opener and has been working his way back since. The defensive lineman had his practice window opened Oct. 2 and was able to log a trio of full practice sessions this week, giving him a good chance of returning to action Sunday versus Baltimore. Upon his return, Obada will likely take on a rotational role.
OCTOBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Returning to practice Obada (lower leg) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday.
Impact Obada has missed the mandatory four games since being placed on the PUP list as camp opened. The 32-year-old 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 Obada 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.
OCTOBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Opens season on PUP list Obada (lower leg) was placed on the reserve/PUP list by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.
Impact Obada failed to appear in a game this preseason while continuing to recover from multiple lower leg fractures that he sustained in November and he'll now be forced to sit out the team's first four games of the regular season while on the PUP list. Obada is first eligible to return to the field in Week 5 against the Browns on Oct. 6.
AUGUST 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Heads to PUP list Obada (lower leg) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Chick Hernandez of WUSA 9 reports.
Impact Obada suffered multiple lower leg fractures in late November, missing the final six games of the 2023 regular season after undergoing surgery. He is expected to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, but he'll require some additional time before he'll be able to practice in a full capacity at the Commanders' training camp.

Impact Obada will head to injured reserve after suffering a lower leg fracture during Sunday's loss to the Giants. The 31-year-old underwent surgery Monday and is expected to miss the remainder of season, and in his absence K.J. Henry and Andre Jones should be in line for increased playing time.

Impact Obada apparently sustained an injury to his finger at practice Friday, but it doesn't look like it will hold him back in Week 15. He should continue to rotate in at defensive end behind Montez Sweat and James Smith-Williams.

Impact Obada was added to the injury report after apparently suffering an injury during practice. He still managed a limited session, which bodes well for his potential availability for the important divisional showdown. Obada has served a significant role along the Commanders' defensive line this season, tallying 18 total tackles with three sacks across 13 games.
