Keep up with the latest injuries from the Steelers vs Bears game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 4, 2025
Placed on injured list
The Bears placed Stromberg (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Stromberg will now be sidelined for at least the next four weeks. The 24-year-old has yet to appear in a game this season but will look to make his debut once he's healthy.

Plays Sunday
Stromberg saw action in Sunday's preseason game against the Bills, indicating that he's past the concussion issue that sidelined him in late July.
ANALYSIS
The center played on 33 offensive snaps and five special-teams snaps. Stromberg, a third-round pick of the Commanders in 2023, has appeared in just four regular-season games through two NFL seasons. While Drew Dalman is projected to start for Chicago, Stromberg can compete for the backup role with 2022 sixth-round pick Doug Kramer.

Enters concussion protocol
Stromberg (head) entered the concussion protocol Thursday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
If the center is diagnosed with a concussion, he will need to go through the NFL's five-step recovery process before returning to the field. Stromberg, a third-round pick of the Commanders in 2023, has appeared in just four NFL games with Washington and Chicago across two seasons. He probably needs to be available during training camp to have a chance to make the roster behind starter Drew Dalman.

Finds work in Chicago
Stromberg (knee) signed with the Bears' practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
The second-year center from Arkansas was dropped from the Commanders' injured reserve list with an injury settlement in early September, but it now appears he's moved past his knee issue. Stromberg could find his way on to Chicago's active roster in the near future, especially after the Bears released Nate Davis (back) on Tuesday.

Eyeing mid-season return
Stromberg is undergoing a right knee scope that will sideline him for approximately seven-to-eight weeks, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stromberg agreed to an injury settlement with the Commanders on Monday, which allows him to sign with any team during the season once he's recovered from his knee scope. The 23-year-old center appeared in just four games and played 28 total snaps with Washington during his rookie campaign, but a team could definitely add the 2023 third-round pick to their practice squad or active roster once he's healthy again.
Sep 2, 2024
Agrees to settlement
The Commanders waived Stromberg (undisclosed) off injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Stromberg was in line to miss all of 2024 after he was placed on IR in late August, but he and the Commanders were able to agree on an injury settlement Monday. Once the 2023 third-round pick out of Arkansas is past his injury, he'll be free to find work elsewhere.
Aug 28, 2024
Reverts to injured reserve
Stromberg (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve Wednesday, according to the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
The center will have to reach an injury settlement with the Commanders to play in 2024. Stromberg competed for a depth role during the preseason. The second-year pro suffered a season-ending knee injury during Week 8 of his rookie year in 2023.

Plays in preseason opener
Stromberg (knee) played 41 snaps (40 on offense, one on special teams) in Saturday's 20-17 preseason loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Stromberg appeared in four games for the Commanders in 2023 before sustaining a season-ending knee injury in Week 8 against the Eagles. He's competing for a depth spot on Washington's offensive line.
Dec 11, 2023
Done for year
Head coach Ron Rivera noted Monday that Stromberg (knee) is out for the rest of the 2023 season, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Prior to his injury, Stromberg appeared in four games and played 28 offensive snaps while operating as a depth offensive lineman. He sustained a knee injury in Week 8 against the Eagles on an extra-point attempt and he was placed on IR on Nov. 7. Rivera told reporters that Stromberg had surgery on the knee and is "progressing well."

Heads to IR
Stromberg (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie offensive lineman out of Arkansas missed last week's contest after he suffered a knee injury during the Commanders' Week 8 loss to the Eagles, and he's since been placed on IR. Stromberg had appeared in only four games this season, playing a total of 28 snaps (26 on offense and two on special teams).
Nov 3, 2023
Out Sunday
Stromberg (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Stromberg exited the Commanders' Week 8 loss to the Eagles after suffering a knee injury, and he was held out of practice throughout the week, so it's no surprise that he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest. The 22-year-old offensive lineman has played 28 total snaps (26 on offense and two on special teams) throughout his four appearances this year.

Exits with knee injury
Stromberg hurt his knee during Sunday's Week 8 game against Philadelphia and won't return to the contest, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stromberg's injury occurred on an extra-point try in the first quarter. The lineman had to be helped off the field and wasn't able to put any weight on his right leg, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. Stromberg's absence will impact the Commanders' offensive line depth.
