30 Troy Apke DB

Apke (hamstring) will be placed on injured reserve, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

Apke will indeed be placed on injured reserve due to a lingering hamstring injury, which the rookie fourth-round pick aggravated during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants. The 23-year-old will require an extended period of rest, and is not expected to recover until the latter portion of the 2018 regular season.

Apke (hamstring) is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve due to a lingering hamstring injury, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Apke has been unable to shake a hamstring injury sustained during Washington's first game of the regular season, and which he appears to have aggravated during the team's win over the Giants in Week 7. The rookie fourth-round pick has taken only 16 snaps this season, all of which have come on special teams. If Apke is indeed placed on injured reserve, his absence is unlikely to notably impact Washington's defense.

Apke is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants with a hamstring injury.

Apke had been sidelined since Week 1 with a hamstring injury prior to Sunday's setback, though his absence doesn't figure to have much of an impact on Washington's defense.

Apke (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Apke hasn't been active since Week 1 against the Cardinals, though it finally seems the rookie out of Penn Sate has healed from his hamstring injury. If he's active Sunday versus the Giants, expect him to back up D.J. Swearinger at free safety.

Apke (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

The inactive status comes as little surprise considering Apke was listed as doubtful heading into Sunday. Apke is largely used as a special teams asset so his presence will be mostly missed in that department.
