Questionable to play in Madrid
Magee (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Full go in camp
Magee is healthy for training camp, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Magee suffered a knee injury during the team's first preseason contest last year, which ultimately required a stint on injured reserve. The linebacker did end up returning mid way through the season, but was used almost exclusively on special teams. Now heading into his second season, the 2024 fifth-round pick is looking to prove himself and find a role on the 53-man roster.

Moved to IR
The Commanders placed Magee (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Magee missed Weeks 17 and 18 due to a hamstring issue but returned to action for last weekend's wild-card win against Tampa Bay. However, he aggravated the injury against the Buccaneers and didn't practice at all this week. With his placement on IR, Magee's season is now over. He finished his rookie campaign with nine tackles (seven solo) over eight regular-season contests while playing primarily on special teams.

Not playing against Detroit
Magee (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Magee aggravated a hamstring injury during the Commanders' NFC wild-card win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. The injury was severe enough for him to be held out of practice all week, and as a result he will not play in Saturday's playoff bout. The rookie fifth-round pick has mostly served in a special-teams role this season, so his absence won't heavily impact the Commanders' linebacker rotation.
Jan 13, 2025
Unlikely for Saturday
Head coach Dan Quinn told reporters Monday that Magee (hamstring) is unlikely to play in Saturday's matchup against the Lions, per Ben Standig of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The rookie linebacker from Temple aggravated a hamstring injury that held him out of Washington's last two regular-season games in Sunday night's win over the Buccaneers. As a result, it's no surprise he isn't expected to suit up for the divisional round. If Magee is unable to play Saturday, the Commanders will be down one of their key special teamers, as he's logged 146 special-teams snaps across eight games this season.
Jan 12, 2025
Questionable to return Sunday
Magee (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday night's NFC wild-card game against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Magee appears to have aggravated the hamstring injury that sidelined him for the team's last two regular season games. The linebacker's absence only carries an impact on special teams.
Jan 8, 2025
Past hamstring injury
Magee (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Magee was sidelined for the final two games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury he suffered during the Commanders' Week 16 win over the Eagles. Barring a setback, the rookie fifth-round pick should be able to play in Sunday's wild-card round game against the Buccaneers. Magee mostly contributed on special teams during the regular season and finished with nine tackles (seven solo) across eight games.

Won't play against Dallas
Magee (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Todd reports.
ANALYSIS
Magee opened the week with consecutive limited practices. However, he was a DNP on Friday, and his hamstring injury is severe enough for him to miss a second straight game. The rookie fifth-round pick will end the 2024 regular season with nine tackles (seven solo) across eight games, and he'll shift his focus to being available for the wild-card round of the playoffs.
Dec 27, 2024
Missing Week 17
Magee (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
The rookie fifth-round pick from Temple sustained a hamstring injury in Washington's Week 16 win over the Eagles and didn't practice all week, making it no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Magee's next opportunity to suit up will come in Week 18, when the Commanders travel to Dallas.

Exits game due to hamstring injury
Magee (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Magee suffered a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. He's mostly served on special teams this season so his absence has a minimal impact on the Commanders' defense.
Oct 23, 2024
Ready for return
Magee (knee) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Magee's 21-day window to be moved to the 53-man roster was coming to an end, and if he had not been activated would be forced to miss the remainder of the season. However, barring any setbacks the rookie linebacker should make his NFL debut Sunday against the Bears.
Oct 2, 2024
Window opens
Magee (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Magee has missed the mandatory four games since being on IR at the beginning of Week 1 prep. The rookie linebacker will now have a 21-day window to practice with the team before he needs to be added to the 53-man roster. Considering the amount of time Magee has missed, it's unlikely he'd suit up Sunday against the Browns, but greater clarity will likely be available closer to the Week 5 matchup.
Aug 28, 2024
Opening season on IR
Magee (knee) was placed on injured reserve by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Magee underwent surgery to address a meniscus injury over a week ago and he'll now be forced to miss at least Washington's first four games of the 2024 season. The linebacker is eligible to return as soon as Week 5 against the Browns on Oct. 6.
Aug 19, 2024
Undergoes knee procedure
Head coach Dan Quinn told reporters Monday that Magee underwent a procedure on his knee, but the injury isn't expected to be season-ending, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie linebacker out of Temple sustained a meniscus injury during the Commanders' first preseason game against the Jets, and it appears he'll miss the foreseeable future after having surgery. According to Quinn, there's no timetable for Magee's return at the moment, but Washington's head coach remains confident that Magee will return at some point this season. Expect Justin Hollins to see more work as a rotational inside linebacker with Magee sidelined.

Picks up knee injury
Magee sustained a knee injury during Saturday's game against the Jets, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not clear at this point just how severe the issue might be, but Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that it would keep Magee out for the rest of the week. His absence could open up some opportunities for fellow rookie Bo Bauer to make an impression during drills.
