Injury & Status History
A running log of this player's status changes — each entry links to the original source.
Nick Cross — Active
Cross was a full participant in all three practices during Week 6 prep, and the fifth-year defensive back has been cleared by medical staff to return from a three-game absence due to an internal injury. His return means Quan Martin will revert to a depth role in the secondary for Monday night's game.
Nick Cross — Active
Cross has been sidelined for the Commanders' last three games with what has been described as an internal injury, but he's been practicing for two weeks and looks poised to put an end to his absence Monday. The fifth-year safety was a full participant in practice Wednesday through Friday and should be ready to reclaim a starting role in the secondary.
Nick Cross — Active
Cross was battling an illness, keeping him off the field for the Commanders' last three games. However, he is good to go in Week 6 versus San Francisco, likely resulting in fewer snaps for Quan Martin.
Nick Cross — Out
Cross was a full participant in Wednesday's practice but downgraded to limited for the Thursday and Friday sessions. The safety appears to have contracted a significant illness and will be unable to suit up for Sunday's game. Quan Martin is the sole active safety for Week 5 outside of starting free safety Jeremy Reaves.
Nick Cross — Out
Cross was able to manage a full practice despite being sick Wednesday, but he's now trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's game versus the Giants. He'll probably need to practice in full again Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
Nick Cross — Active
Cross missed the Commanders' last two games due to an illness, but the 2022 third-rounder's full practice Wednesday puts him on track to return against the Giants on Sunday. His return means Quan Martin will likely revert to a rotational role behind Cross and Jeremy Reaves.
Nick Cross — Out
It will be the second straight absence for Cross, and what was originally deemed an "internal injury" is now being called an "illness." It's not quite clear what he's dealing with, but the fifth-year safety's inability to suit up will leave a hole in Washington's secondary. Quan Martin logged a greater defensive snap share in Week 3 and will likely do so again Sunday in Cross's stead.
