Las Vegas placed Chinn (back) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Chinn played almost every defensive snap in each of the Raiders' first 15 games, but he's been dealing with a back injury for most of December. Las Vegas is firmly in the hunt for the No. 1 overall pick in next year's NFL Draft and has no reason to expose Chinn to potentially worsening the issue, so the team has chosen to shut him down. Chinn will end the campaign with 114 tackles (including 1.0 sacks), two forced fumbles and two defensed passes.

Raiders' Jeremy Chinn: Season likely over
Rotowire
The Raiders are reportedly set to place Chinn on IR due to a back injury, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Chinn has been dealing with a back issue for most of December, but to this point the injury hasn't caused him to miss any games. With the Raiders tied for the league's worst record (2-13) and in the driver's seat for the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, the team appears to be shutting Chinn down. If that's indeed the case, he'll finish his first season in Las Vegas with 114 tackles (including 1.0 sacks), two forced fumbles and two defensed passes over 15 contests.

Raiders' Jeremy Chinn: Back in action
Rotowire
Chinn (back) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.
Chinn has missed just one defensive snap all season, and being cleared of any injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest means he will likely keep his missed snap count in the single digits. The safety has accumulated 107 tackles (60 solo), including 1.0 sacks, so far this season, and he will look to add to that number when he suits up on Sunday.

Raiders' Jeremy Chinn: Limited with back issue
Rotowire
Chinn (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Chinn upgraded to limited participation Thursday after being unable to participate in Wednesday's session. The safety has missed just one defensive snap all season, and Thursday's upgrade in practice participation is a good sign that he will play in Sunday's game against the Texans. Chinn will have one more opportunity to upgrade to a full participant in the hopes of avoiding an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest.

Rotowire
Chinn recorded three total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 31-0 loss to Philadelphia.

Raiders' Jeremy Chinn: Upgrades to limited Thursday
Rotowire
Chinn (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Chinn played through a back issue in the Raiders' Week 14 loss to the Broncos after being unable to practice the Friday before the contest. The safety's limited practice Thursday means he has already practiced more with the injury than he was able to last week, which bodes well for his chances of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Chinn will have one more chance to upgrade to full participation and dodge an injury designation for Sunday, but he appears likely to play under any circumstance.

Chinn (undisclosed) participated during OTAs on Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Chinn sat out last week's open practice, but he's now back from whatever it was that was keeping him off the field. He's entering the first year of his contract with his new team in Las Vegas, and he figures to start at safety next to Isaiah Pola-Mao in 2025.

Raiders' Jeremy Chinn: Dealing with injury
Rotowire
Chinn (undisclosed) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Chinn signed a two-year, $16 million deal with the Raiders this past offseason after logging a career year with the Commanders in 2024. The Southern Illinois product appeared in all 17 regular-season games, recording 117 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, five passes defended and one forced fumble over 968 defensive snaps. Once Chinn returns to full health, he's likely to serve as the Raiders' top strong safety.

Raiders' Jeremy Chinn: Set to sign in Las Vegas
Rotowire
The Raiders are slated to sign Chinn to a two-year, $16 million contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Chinn played all 17 regular-season games with Washington in 2024, recording the third 100-tackle campaign of his career. He also played 100 percent of defensive snaps during the team's three playoff games, in which span he produced 29 tackles (17 solo) and one pass defensed, including one interception. Having made the most of his one-year, prove-it deal with the Commanders, Chinn now secures a starting role in the Raiders' secondary, a landing spot which figures to provide notable IDP fantasy value.

Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Past rib issue
Rotowire
Chinn (ribs) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Chinn was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a rib injury he likely picked up during the Commanders' Week 18 win over the Cowboys. The issue doesn't appear to be serious for him as he was able to practice without restrictions Thursday. The 2020 second-round pick should be healthy enough to be an every-snap defender in Sunday's NFC wild-card round game against Tampa Bay. Chinn finished the 2024 regular season with 117 tackles (73 solo), including 2.0 sacks, five pass defenses (including one interception), two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble across 17 games.

Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Suiting up Week 16
Rotowire
Chinn (concussion) is active for Sunday's matchup versus Philadelphia.
Chinn suffered a concussion last Sunday against the Saints and was limited in each of the Commanders' first two practices this week. However, he upgraded to full participation Friday and has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time to take the field Sunday. Chinn is thus clear to take on his usual starting role at strong safety in a tough matchup against the Eagles.

Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Could play Sunday
Rotowire
Chinn (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles.
Chinn upgraded to full practice Friday after opening the week with consecutive limited sessions due to a concussion sustained in Washington's Week 15 win over the Saints, so it appears he's trending toward playing Sunday. However, the Southern Illinois product must still clear the NFL's five-step protocol in order to suit up in Week 16. If he's unable to do so, expect Percy Butler to serve as the Commanders' top strong safety.

Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Remains limited Thursday
Rotowire
Chinn (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Chinn opened the week with two consecutive limited practices due to a concussion he suffered against the Saints in Week 15. A full practice Friday would indicate that Chinn is progressing through the league's concussion protocols, though he would have to be cleared in order to play against the Eagles on Sunday. Over his last six games, Chinn has registered 52 tackles (32 solo), including 1.0 sacks, three pass defenses (including one interception) and one fumble recovery.

Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Chinn (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
The Southern Illinois product sustained a concussion in the Commanders' Week 15 win over the Saints, so his limited participation in Wednesday's practice is a positive sign for his potential availability in Week 16, when the Eagles visit Washington. However, Chinn still needs to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to be eligible to suit up Sunday.

Rotowire
Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Chinn suffered a concussion in Sunday's win over the Saints, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Commanders' Jeremy Chinn: Might have concussion
Rotowire
Chinn is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints.
The safety was having a nice day before leaving the field, recording seven tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for a loss. Chinn now has 93 tackles (60 solo) on the year. Percy Butler and Jeremy Reaves are Washington's backup safeties.
