COLE HOLCOMB NEWS

Won't play in Week 9 Holcomb (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Impact Coach Ron Rivera said Holcomb is progressing in his recovery but needs more time to regain health. This will be a second consecutive absence for the linebacker, creating another opportunity for Jon Bostic to take on an increased role.

Impact Holcomb was sidelined for Week 8 due to a foot injury he presumably picked up during the team's Week 7 win over the Packers. His lack of participation during Wednesday's session suggests he's trending towards a second straight absence, but Holcomb will have two more opportunities to practice before Washington needs to make a decision on the linebacker's availability for Sunday's matchup against the Vikings.

Won't play Sunday Holcomb (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Colts, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Holcomb presumably picked up the foot injury during Washington's Week 7 win over Green Bay and wasn't able to practice at all during Week 8 prep. The 26-year-old is the team's leading tackler, so his absence will be a significant blow for a matchup against Jonathan Taylor and the Colts. Jon Bostic and David Mayo are both candidates for increased roles with Holcomb sidelined.

Commanders Injury Report: LB Cole Holcomb OUT vs. Colts in Week 8 The Washington Commanders were missing some key players from practice as they prepare for a third straight win.

Sits out again Thursday Holcomb (foot) was listed as a non-participant on the Commanders' injury report Thursday.

Impact Holcomb remain sidelined with a foot injury for the second day in a row, though it's unclear when this issue first arose. The 26-year-old has tallied 69 tackles and one pass defended while playing every defensive snap in all but one game this season, so an absence in Sunday's game against the Colts would be significant. If Holcomb does not improve his activity in practice Friday, then David Mayo could see increased usage alongside Jamin Davis in Week 8.

Impact Holcomb registered nine tackles during the team's Week 7 win over the Packers but apparently picked up foot injury as well.

Nine tackles in win Holcomb recorded nine tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Packers.

Impact Holcomb led the team in tackles again Sunday, notching at least nine tackles for the fifth time in seven games this season. He has now played every defensive snap over the last four contests and is up to 69 total tackles in 2022. He'll look to remain heavily involved on Washington's defense when the team takes on the Colts in Week 8.

Collects 12 tackles on TNF Holcomb recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) during Thursday's 12-7 win over the Bears.

Impact Holcomb now has back-to-back weeks with double-digit tackles, as he accumulated 12 stops Thursday against Chicago and 16 tackles Week 5 versus the Titans. The 26-year-old is on pace for a 170-tackle 2022 campaign, which would break his previous career high of 142 he set a season ago. The Commanders are scheduled to host the Packers next Sunday, where Holcomb should once again be a key asset for the team's defense.

Ties career high with 15 tackles Holcomb recorded 15 tackles (11 solo) during Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Titans.

Impact Holcomb's previous career high in stops came during Week 3 a season ago against Buffalo, but he managed to reach that figure again Sunday versus Tennessee. The 26-year-old linebacker has played 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in four out of the first five games in 2022, and he'll likely operate in a similar role in Thursday night's contest against Chicago.

Team-high nine stops in loss Holcomb recorded nine tackles and one pass defense during Sunday's 24-8 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Holcomb led the team in tackles for a second straight game and has 24 total tackles across the first three weeks of the season. The 2019 fifth-round pick has two 100-tackle campaigns across his first three years in the NFL, including a career-high 142 stops last season.

Team-high 10 tackles in loss Holcomb recorded 10 tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 36-27 loss to the Lions.

Impact Holcomb got off to a slow start in the season opener and dealt with a quadriceps issue leading up to Week 2. However, he cleared the injury report ahead of Sunday and bounced back by recording his first game of the season with at least 10 tackles. The linebacker has recorded 100-plus tackles twice during his first three years in the NFL, and after just two games, he appears on pace for a third such season.

No injury designation for Week 2 Holcomb doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Lions.

Impact Holcomb popped up on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a quadriceps issue, but he appears to be a full-go heading into Week 2. The fourth-year linebacker recorded five tackles (two solo) across 62 snaps in the season opener and is set for another sizable role against Detroit.

Logs limited practice Holcomb (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Ben Standig of The Athletic repots.

Impact Holcomb did not appear on the team's injury report Wednesday, and he appeared to log a full practice. The move to a limited session Thursday could just be precautionary. However, it will still shift the 26-year-old into the questionable territory. Holcomb is a significant piece to the Commanders' defense as their starting middle linebacker, so any potential absence would certainly be a detriment to the unit. If he is unable to suit up Sunday against the Lions, Milo Eifler would likely be called upon to start.
