Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Estimated as full practice
Rotowire
Yankoff (ankle) was estimated as a full participant on Monday's practice report.
Yankoff missed Saturday night's loss to the Eagles but appears to be ready to return to the lineup following a one-game absence. Yankoff has a total of two catches for 18 yards on three targets across 12 appearances this season. He carries extremely minimal fantasy value.

Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Ruled out for Saturday
Rotowire
Yankoff (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Eagles, Ben Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
Yankoff was unable to practice all week due to the ankle injury he sustained in last Sunday's win over the Giants. The tight end's absence means the position room only has John Bates and Ben Sinnott ready for Saturday. Due to this development, rookies Robert McDaniel out of Jackson State University or Gee Scott out of Ohio State could be elevated from the practice squad ahead of Saturday's contest.

Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Doesn't practice to begin week
Rotowire
Yankoff (ankle) did not practice Tuesday, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.
Yankoff hurt his ankle Sunday against the Giants and apparently remains bothered by the issue. He'll almost certainly need to practice in some capacity by Thursday to have a chance of suiting up Saturday against Philadelphia. The Commanders are already shorthanded at tight end with Zach Ertz (knee) done for the season, so John Bates and Ben Sinnott are currently the team's only healthy players at the position.

Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Leaves game with ankle injury
Rotowire
Yankoff (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants.
Yankoff appeared to sustain the injury early in the second half, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Ben Sinnott should see a slight uptick in offensive snaps for as long as Yankoff is out of the game.

Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Cleared to play Week 10
Rotowire
Yankoff (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Lions, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.
A hamstring injury prevented Yankoff from playing in the Commanders' last two games, but he's been cleared to return Sunday after logging a full practice Friday. He's mostly served on special teams this season, but his return bolsters the Commanders' depth at tight end behind Zach Ertz, John Bates and Ben Sinnott.
Yankoff (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Seahawks, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
The Commanders' No. 4 tight end, Yankoff carries almost zero fantasy value behind Zach Ertz, John Bates and Ben Sinnott. Yankoff has zero catches this season.

Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Out for Monday
Rotowire
Yankoff (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Chiefs, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
Yankoff likely sustained a hamstring injury during Friday's practice, and the issue now appears serious enough for him to miss Monday night's contest. The UCLA product has appeared in all seven of Washington's games this season, failing to record an offensive stat while playing 184 total snaps (140 on special teams, 44 on offense). While he's sidelined in Week 8, the Commanders' tight-end room will likely consist of Zach Ertz, John Bates and Ben Sinnott.

Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Limited Friday
Rotowire
Yankoff (hamstring) was limited in Friday's practice, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.
Yankoff wasn't on the injury report Thursday, so it's possible he was injured in Friday's session. The Commanders will practice again Saturday ahead of Monday night's game against the Chiefs. Yankoff also dealt with a hamstring injury at the end of last season.
The Commanders activated Yankoff (hamstring) off injured reserve and removed him from their injury report Saturday.
Yankoff was designated to return to practice Jan. 8 but didn't play in last weekend's wild-card win over Tampa Bay. He logged a second straight week of full practices this week, and by being activated, he's now eligible to suit up Saturday night against the Lions. A roster spot opened up for Yankoff after linebacker Jordan Magee was placed on injured reserve Saturday due to a hamstring injury.
Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Logs another full practice
Rotowire
Yankoff (hamstring) practiced in full Tuesday.
Yankoff was also a full practice participant all last week after being designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. However, he wasn't activated off injured reserve ahead of Washington's wild-card win over the Buccaneers. It's unclear if Yankoff will be activated in time for this Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Lions, but the chances of that happening would increase if fellow tight end Ben Sinnott (shoulder) isn't able to play.
Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Remaining out for wild-card round
Rotowire
Yankoff (hamstring), who is on IR, has been ruled out for Sunday's wild-card matchup versus Tampa Bay.
Yankoff has been on injured reserve since early November due to a hamstring injury. He was designated to return to practice Wednesday but isn't yet ready for game action. When healthy early in the campaign, Yankoff worked primarily on special teams, logging 101 snaps as part of those units versus just six on offense over six games.

Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Returning to practice
Rotowire
Yankoff (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Yankoff has been on IR since early November but will have a chance to return to action during the Commanders' playoff run. The UCLA product will now be able to practice with the team and could be added to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers if he is healthy enough to play.

Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Lands on IR
Rotowire
Yankoff (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve by the Commanders on Saturday.
Yankoff suffered a hamstring injury during the practice week and didn't practice Friday after being a limited participant Thursday. The issue appears to be fairly serious, as Yankoff will need to miss at least the next four games while on IR. The tight end's absence is unlikely to impact the Commanders' offensive gameplan much, as Yankoff has played only six offensive snaps on the season. He's been a staple on special teams, though, and will be missed in that regard.

Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Ruled out due to hamstring injury
Rotowire
Yankoff (hamstring) did not practice Friday and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.
Yankoff appears to have picked up a hamstring injury during practice this week. He popped up on Thursday's injury report as a limited practice participant and was listed as a DNP on Friday. The injury is severe enough for Yankoff to miss Sunday's game, but with the Commanders playing on a short week in Week 11, that could mean he may be sidelined for Thursday's NFC East clash against the Eagles on Nov. 14. With Yankoff sidelined for Sunday's game, Washington will go with Zach Ertz, John Bates and Ben Sinnott as the three tight ends on the active roster.

Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Filling special-teams role
Rotowire
Yankoff played all 17 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens.
The undrafted rookie out of UCLA won a spot on the Commanders' season-opening 53-man roster as a fourth tight end, but he secured his place mainly due to his ability to contribute on special teams. He's suited up in five of Washington's first six games of the season and has played all but one of his 81 snaps on special teams.
