Jamal Agnew - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Waived due to failed physical The Commanders waived Agnew (undisclosed) on Tuesday.

Impact Agnew failed his physical due to an undisclosed injury, and the wide receiver will be sent back to the waiver wire almost as soon as he was claimed off it. The weight of a failed physical may end up condemning the 30-year-old to being a practice squad addition at best for the remainder of the 2025 season.

New opportunity with Washington The Commanders claimed Agnew off waivers from the Falcons on Monday.

Impact Agnew was waived by the Falcons on Saturday, but he'll get a new chance with the Commanders for the final two games of the regular season. He gives Washington another return option on kickoffs and punts after rookie fourth-round wideout Jaylin Lane (ankle) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Agnew did not record a target across 11 regular-season games with Atlanta, so he's unlikely to have much of an impact on offense with Washington.

Agnew has operated as the Falcons' top return man this season, recording 567 kick-return yards and 96 punt-return yards across seven games.

Out for Sunday Agnew (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

Impact The veteran wideout was unable to practice all week after missing the Falcons' Week 2 win over the Vikings due to a groin injury, making it no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. With both Agnew and Casey Washington (concussion) out in Week 3, KhaDarel Hodge is projected to play a larger role in Atlanta's wide receiver room. Additionally, Ray-Ray McCloud is likely to serve as the team's top kick and punt returner.

Optimistic after injury Agnew said Monday that he "feels good" after injuring his groin in the third quarter of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Agnew played six snaps on special teams Sunday and finished with 57 kick return yards and 29 punt return yards. He's not in immediate danger of missing the Falcons' Week 2 game against the Vikings, but his practice participation over the coming week will be worth monitoring. Ray-Ray McCloud, Mike Hughes and Natrone Brooks would be candidates to handle return duties if Agnew is not cleared to play.
