Javon Kinlaw

Kinlaw was ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Eagles and will now miss at least the next four games after landing on IR. Kinlaw has tallied 13 tackles and one sack for the Commanders this season and will be eligible to return in Week 13 when the Commanders take on the Titans.

He didn’t practice all week after Dan Quinn acknowledged it would be “tough” for him to play. An IR stint probably is in play on Saturday, if not, Kinlaw will probably start Week 9 on the questionable line.

Kinlaw is dealing with a knee issue. Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday it will “likely be tough” for the 29-year-old defensive tackle to play Sunday. We can expect Kinlaw to be on the wrong side of questionable for Week 8 against the Eagles.

He was limited on Thursday and practiced in full today to avoid the questionable line. The 28-year-old defensive tackle can look forward to a Sunday of trying to stop Jadarian Price runs right up the gut.

Kinlaw dealt with a back injury last week but played in Week 2. He came out of the loss against the Cowboys with an additional injury to the shoulder. Kinlaw’s status for Week 3 is in question as he sits out of practice with back and shoulder issues.

Kinlaw will get $30 million in guaranteed money on this deal. A former 49er who was drafted No. 14 overall in 2020 reunites with general manager Adam Peters, who has already added two other former 49ers to the roster this offseason. Kinlaw signed a one-year deal with the Jets last offseason and posted career highs in tackles (40) and sacks (4.5) in his age-27-season. Turning 28 in October, Kinlaw could make for a nice addition if he’s able to live up to the potential that once made him the 14th pick in the draft.
