  • Jordan Magee returned to practice Thursday after the Commanders opened his 21-day window to come off injured reserve. Washington now has three weeks to decide whether to activate the linebacker.

  • Magee injured his hamstring in the season opener after making two tackles, according to Josh Alper of NBC Sports. The Commanders placed him on injured reserve September 16.

    Nicki Jhabvala also reported Thursday that Magee's practice window had opened. Washington has not announced an activation or said he will play against San Francisco on Monday night.
