Odafe Oweh - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Ready to suit up Sunday Oweh (calf) does not carry an official injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Dallas.

Impact Oweh played through his lingering calf issue in Week 1, so although he was limited at practice all week, it's not shocking to see he's on track to do the same in Week 2. The free-agent acquisition projects to continue to see a hefty share of snaps on the edge Sunday against the Cowboys.

Absent due to injury Oweh (undisclosed) did not participate in Tuesday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Oweh did not play in last Friday's preseason opener against the Dolphins, so it is unclear when the linebacker sustained his injury. A significant issue for the 27-year-old would be a serious issue for the Commanders, as the team just signed the weakside linebacker to a four-year $100 million deal in early March. With fellow edge rusher K'Lavon Chaisson (undisclosed) also sitting with an issue, Joshua Josephs, Javontae Jean-Baptiste and Drake Jackson are set to see more first-team reps for the immediate future.
