Commanders' Tyler Owens: Participates in practice

Owens (ankle) took first-team reps in training camp last week, Hayley Salvatore of Commanders.com reports.

Owens ended the 2024 season on injured reserve with an ankle injury suffered in Week 16. His high-level play on special teams last season has earned him an expanded role on defense, but to what degree remains to seen. The 24-year-old could be in position to start at safety following Jeremy Chinn's departure this offseason.
