  • Commanders' Kain Medrano: Scores touchdown in close win

    Medrano logged five tackles (three solo) and one pass defensed for a 50-yard pick-six in the Commanders' 33-31 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Medrano intercepted Sam Darnold late in the fourth quarter, taking the pick 50 yards to the house to extend the Commanders' three-point lead to 10 points with 3:57 left to play. The linebacker's heroics all but secured the win. Medrano was starting due to the absence of Frankie Luvu (groin).

  • Commanders' Kain Medrano: Ready to begin camp

    The Commanders activated Medrano (hamstring) off the active/PUP list Monday.

    It was unclear when Medrano sustained the hamstring injury, but it appears that it was either a minor issue or a lingering one. The linebacker passed his physical and is all set to participate in full training camp activities. The 25-year-old will need to make a compelling case to remain part of a deep Commanders linebackers corps.

  • Commanders' Kain Medrano: Goes to PUP list

    Washington placed Medrano (hamstring) on its active/physically unable to perform list Wednesday.

    Medrano was already expected to miss the start of training camp with a hamstring issue, and he'll still be eligible to come back to practice when he's physically able. In the meantime, Ale Kaho could see increased attention at inside linebacker during practice.

  • Commanders' Kain Medrano: Nursing hamstring injury

    Medrano will miss the start of training camp due to a hamstring injury, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

    It's unclear when Medrano sustained the injury, but the issue is not considered a long-term concern. The rookie sixth-rounder is competing for a depth spot on the Commanders' 53-man roster, with special teams being his clearest path to doing so.

  • Commanders' Kain Medrano: Headed to Washington

    The Commanders selected Medrano in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 205th overall.

    Medrano had a six-year college career in UCLA and was a full-time starter in his last two years with the Bruins. He earned a spot on the Third Team All-Big Ten in 2024 after logging 72 tackles (50 solo), including 1.5 sacks, four pass defenses (one interception and a pick-six) and one forced fumble in 12 games. Medrano showed plenty of aggressiveness on defense, but that also led to a number of missed tackles that will be more exposed against NFL-level offenses. He should get an opportunity to be an immediate contributor on special teams, and he could earn defensive snaps if he can improve on his tackling discipline.
