Commanders' Efe Obada: Opens season on PUP list

Obada (lower leg) was placed on the reserve/PUP list by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.

Obada failed to appear in a game this preseason while continuing to recover from multiple lower leg fractures that he sustained in November and he'll now be forced to sit out the team's first four games of the regular season while on the PUP list. Obada is first eligible to return to the field in Week 5 against the Browns on Oct. 6.
