After returning to practice Friday, Javon Kinlaw was limited with the back injury that kept him out Thursday and is questionable for Sunday's game in Dallas. Linebacker Frankie Luvu and tight end Chig Okonkwo were the only players ruled out.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn was happy to have Kinlaw back on the field. "It was good to have him back out at things today, and we’ll do a designation for him this evening, but it was nice to see him back out at practice… So, that’s trending, right?" While Kinlaw didn't get the full, clear status they were hoping for, Friday was clearly better than Thursday.
