Commanders dumping lineman

Washington is releasing DT Matt Ioannidis, according to multiple reports. Ioannidis played 59% of defensive snaps over his 16 games last year and 73% 2 seasons before. (Ioannidis appeared in only 3 games in 2020 because of a torn pectoral muscle.) At age 28, he looks like a good bet to find opportunity elsewhere. He'll be nearly 3 years removed from IDP relevance when the season begins, though.

Washington DT Matt Ioannidis suffered a torn biceps in Sunday's loss to the Browns and is expected to miss the rest of the season, according to multiple reports. His absence could mean more weekly snaps for DTs Jonathan Allen and Da'Ron Payne. Each saw a season-high snap share at Cleveland: 79% for Allen and 81% for Payne.

Washington DL Matt Ioannidis (hamstring) is inactive for today's finale against the Eagles.

Washington DL Matt Ioannidis is questionable for Sunday's finale against the Eagles. This time it's a hamstring injury, rather than the shin issue that had landed him on the injury report for multiple weeks. Ioannidis missed practice all week, though, and has fallen off since the shin injury arose. He shouldn't be in your Week 17 IDP plans.

Washington DL Matt Ioannidis (shin) is active for today's game against the Titans. He's still a low-level IDP -- especially given that the injury continued to limit his practice availability this week -- but does carry some upside.

Washington DL Matt Ioannidis (shin) is active for today's game against the Jaguars. He arrived questionable for the 2nd straight game but participated in practice this week after sitting out last week's workouts and then seeing just 3 snaps in Sunday's game. He remains risky but also carries IDP upside into today's matchup.
