Commanders TE Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. No surprise after he hurt his hamstring in the opener. Okonkwo could end up missing multiple games. His absence leaves Ben Sinnott and John Bates as Washington's top TEs and likely pushes more targets to WRs Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs.
Commanders TE Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any details on the severity of his hamstring injury, but he's looking like a long shot to play vs. the Cowboys this weekend.

Commanders TE Chig Okonkwo is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Eagles with a hamstring injury. He caught 2 of 3 targets for 16 yards before exiting. We'll updated Okonkwo's status when we know more.
Chigoziem Okonkwo was commended for the standout training camp he’s had by Commanders Senior Writer Zach Selby in a recent article, but Selby noted that “...the tight ends were not used much in the passing game during the offensive periods that I watched (team red zone, third-down emphasis, and two-minute).”
We read rosy reports earlier this week about TE Chig Okonkwo and WR Treylon Burks at Commanders camp, but the team clearly believed it needed a pass-catching upgrade. So Wednesday brought an agreement with veteran WR Stefon Diggs, according to multiple reports. ESPN's Adam Schefter says it's a one-year deal worth "up to $12 million."
The Commanders continue to head toward the season with little proven depth at WR behind Terry McLaurin. That looks like good news for TE Chig Okonkwo, as well as former Titans first-round pick Treylon Burks.
New Commanders TE Chig Okonkwo sounds excited about what he's seen so far in the scheme of first-time OC David Blough. The fifth-year vet signed a three-year, $27 million deal in free agency after finishing each of the past three years in the range of 52 to 56 catches.
Former Titans TE Chigoziem Okonkwo agreed to terms with the Commanders for a three-year deal worth up to $30m. TE Zach Ertz entered free agency, leaving the Commanders with John Bates and Ben Sinnott as the only TEs on their roster. Okonkwo should step in as the starter in 2026 with Bates and Sinnott handling duties in 12 personnel. With Jayden Daniels at QB (and currently a lack of receiving options behind WR Terry McLaurin), Okonkwo could be a sleeper TE this season.
Titans TE Gunnar Helm (toe) is out for this weekend’s game vs. the Jaguars. He’s been basically splitting routes with TE Chig Okonkwo lately, so the rookie’s absence should mean a boost in playing time for Okonkwo. He’s a very viable Week 18 fantasy start.

Titans TE Chig Okonkwo (foot) is off the final Week 9 injury report. He was limited in Wednesday’s practice and sidelined on Thursday, but he returned for a full workout on Friday.

Titans TE Chig Okonkwo (foot) went from a limited practice on Wednesday to no practice on Thursday. We don't have any details, but his status for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers seems uncertain.
