News

  • Makes three grabs vs. Cowboys

    Sinnott secured three of four targets for 29 yards during Thursday's 30-23 loss to Dallas.

    Analysis: Sinnott logged his first game of the season with more than a single grab during Washington's loss on Christmas Day, though he recorded a higher yardage total Week 15 versus the Giants due to a 36-yard downfield catch. The second-year pro played 61 percent of offensive snaps versus the Cowboys. Sinnott will close out the year as Washington's starting tight end during the team's regular-season finale on the road against Philadelphia in Week 18.

  • Muted output again

    Sinnott caught one pass on two targets for five yards during the Commanders' 29-18 loss to the Eagles on Saturday.

    Analysis: Sinnott's lone catch came midway through the fourth quarter, when he hauled in a five-yard pass from Josh Johnson, who replaced Marcus Mariota (hand) in the third period. Sinnott has caught one pass in each of his last three games, and while his snap count on offense has increased after Zach Ertz tore his ACL in Week 14 against the Vikings, the former's offensive production has not. Next up for Sinnott and the Commanders is an NFC East home tilt against the Cowboys on Christmas Day.

  • Catches one pass vs. Giants

    Sinnott caught his lone target for 36 yards in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: In Sinnott's first full game without Zach Ertz (knee), he logged a season-high 34 offensive snaps and finished with the third-most receiving yards on the Commanders. The 2024 second-round pick from Kansas State has now caught all five of his targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in 13 appearances this season. Sinnott may have an expanded offensive role and serve as Washington's top pass-catching tight end in the Week 16 matchup against the Eagles.

  • Catches lone target in Week 14 loss

    Sinnott caught his lone target for an eight-yard gain during Washington's 31-0 loss to Minnesota on Sunday.

    Analysis: Sinnott played just 13 of 52 offensive snaps (25 percent), but the second-year tight end's role should be larger over the final four games of the regular season after Zach Ertz tore his ACL during Sunday's loss. With Ertz done for the year, Sinnott and John Bates will be the top tight-end options on the Commanders' active roster while practice-squad member Lawrence Cager provides depth at the position.

  • Cleared for Week 13

    Sinnott (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Washington's matchup versus the Broncos on Sunday.

    Analysis: Sinnott is healthy again after sustaining an ankle injury in the Week 10 loss to Detroit. The 2024 second-round pick should resume his role as the team's No. 3 tight end against Denver.

  • Downgraded to out

    The Commanders announced Saturday that Sinnott (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins in Madrid.

    Analysis: Sinnott will miss his first game of the season due to an ankle injury, after he was added to Thursday's injury report as a limited participant and then missed practice entirely Friday. In his stead, John Bates and Colson Yankoff will handle expanded depth roles behind starting tight end Zach Ertz versus Miami on Sunday.

  • Questionable after Friday's DNP

    Sinnott (ankle) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Sinnott's trending in the wrong direction, as he was added to Washington's injury report as a limited participant in practice Thursday and was unable to practice in any capacity Friday. John Bates and Colson Yankoff are available to provide depth behind Zach Ertz in Madrid against the Dolphins if Sinnott's declared out.

  • Added to injury report

    Sinnott (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Sinnott wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so it appears his ankle issue occurred during practice. The second-year pro has an opportunity to see increased receiving work Sunday versus the Dolphins in Madrid, if healthy enough to play, given that wide receivers Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Treylon Burks (finger) have both already been ruled out. That said, across 10 regular-season games so far Sinnott has only tallied three grabs for 31 yards and one touchdown (on three targets), as…read more

  • Nabs second reception of season

    Sinnott took the field for 11 of the Commanders' 53 offensive snaps and reeled in his lone target for a 22-yard gain in Monday's 28-7 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: A second-round pick in 2024, Sinnott was lauded for his pass-catching chops coming out of Kansas State but has thus far struggled to carve out a role in his first season and a half in the professional ranks. He came through with one of the Commanders' bigger plays of the night Monday, but a lack of steady playing time will likely continue to hurt Sinnott's chances of making an impact in most weeks. Sinnott is the clear No. 3 tight end in Washington, with his 21 percent share in Week 8 placing…read more

  • Finishes without a catch

    Sinnott finished without a catch on one target in Monday's preseason loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Sinnott was a second-round pick last year, but there hasn't been much hint of him making a push to overtake 33-year-old Zach Ertz, who was among the players rested Monday night. Sinnott took a snap on the opening drive with Jayden Daniels, but only in a multi-TE formation, whereas John Bates was in for every play. It looks like Sinnott may just be the No. 3 TE again unless an injury to Ertz opens up the pass-catching role.

  • Impressive in offseason practices

    Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Sinnott is one of the young players who has stood out during the offseason program, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Selected 53rd overall last spring after a standout combine performance, Sinnott was merely Washington's No. 3 TE throughout his rookie season, catching five passes on 311 offensive snaps. He has all the raw physical tools to become a quality NFL starter, but there's no assurance the opportunity comes along this year, as the Commanders re-signed both Zach Ertz and John Bates during the offseason. It at least sounds like Sinnott is making progress in Year 2 and earning more confidence from his…read more

  • Buried on depth chart all season

    Sinnott finished his rookie season with five catches for 28 yards and a touchdown on five targets, adding one catch for 23 yards on a fake punt in three playoff games.

    Analysis: Sinnott spent his entire rookie season third on the depth chart behind Zach Ertz and blocker John Bates, neither of whom is under contract for 2025. It's possible the 2024 second-round pick gets a starting opportunity ahead of his second pro season, but the lack of playing time as a rookie still isn't the best sign for his future. Still, Sinnott's combination of size, speed and draft capital could make him a late-round sleeper for fantasy in 2025, especially if the Commanders don't re-sign Ertz…read more

  • Cleared to play against Detroit

    Sinnott (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Sinnott injured his shoulder during the Commanders' NFC wild-card win over the Buccaneers this past Sunday. He was limited in practice all week, but he has done enough to avoid an injury tag heading into Saturday's contest. Sinnott will serve as Washington's No. 3 tight end behind Zach Ertz (ribs) and John Bates.

  • Logs another limited session

    Sinnott (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: The 2024 second-round pick from Kansas State has now opened the Commanders' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions after sustaining a shoulder injury in the team's wild-card win over the Buccaneers. Sinnott's practice participation Thursday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play through the issue in Saturday's divisional round matchup against the Lions. If he's unable to suit up, Washington's tight end room will likely consist of Zach Ertz (ribs) and John…read more

  • Limited in practice to open week

    Sinnott (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Tuesday.

    Analysis: Sinnott hurt his shoulder in the first half of Sunday's wild-card win against Tampa Bay, but he was able to return after halftime. The rookie tight end logged 10 percent of Washington's offensive snaps in the victory -- which is in line with his usual snap share in recent weeks -- and didn't get any touches or targets. Sinnott's practice participation level Wednesday and Thursday should determine whether he is tagged with an injury designation heading into the weekend.

  • Returns to action

    Sinnott (shoulder) returned to action in Sunday night's NFC wild-card game against Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Sinnott suffered a shoulder injury in the first half, but he has now returned to the field to open the second half. He'll continue to operate as the team's No. 3 tight end behind Zach Ertz and John Bates.

  • Questionable to return Sunday

    Sinnott (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday night's wild-card game against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Sinnott went down with a shoulder injury in the first half, exiting the contest as a result. In his absence, Zach Ertz and John Bates will continue to handle the lion's share of the snaps at tight end.

  • Notches fifth reception of season

    Sinnott played 42 of the Commanders' 78 snaps on offense and recorded a seven-yard reception on his lone target in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Though the Commanders invested a second-round pick in April's draft into Sinnott, the 22-year-old tight end out of Kansas State has handled a relatively muted role during his rookie campaign. His reception in the Week 15 win was just his fifth of the season, but he could see his best opportunity to date to produce in this Sunday's game against the Eagles if top tight end Zach Ertz (concussion) is unable to play. After Ertz logged just 18 snaps against the Saints before departing, Sinnott and…read more

  • Practices in full Thursday

    Sinnott (illness) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday's injury report.

    Analysis: Sinnott was limited in Wednesday's session due to an illness, but he appears to be over the issue as he was able to log a full practice Thursday. The rookie second-round pick has logged three catches for 18 yards and a touchdown over his last five outings, though he has failed to see a target across the Commanders' last two games.

  • Dealing with illness

    Sinnott (was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an illness.

    Analysis: The rookie tight end from Kansas State has yet to miss a game this season, catching all three of his targets for 18 yards and one touchdown while playing 195 offensive snaps. He's expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Cowboys unless the illness prevents him from practicing Thursday or Friday.

  • Just six offensive snaps Thursday

    Sinnott was not targetted during Thursday's 26-18 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Sinnott's six snaps on offense Thursday was his lowest of the regular season, and he has failed to see a target in three of his last four games. He appears destined for that kind of workload while working as the Commanders' No. 3 tight end behind Zach Ertz and John Bates.

  • Held without a catch Sunday

    Sinnott was not targeted during Washington's 18-15 win over the Bears on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie second-round pick played just 22 percent of the offensive snaps during Sunday's win over Chicago, with John Bates (33 percent) working as the No. 2 man behind top tight end Zach Ertz (75 percent). Sinnott continues to battle with Bates for opportunities behind Ertz, and he lacks a clear path to fantasy upside. Sinnott secured both of his targets for six yards and a score in Week 7 versus Carolina, but he's been held without a catch in seven of eight appearances on the year.

  • Scores first touchdown in win

    Sinnott caught both of his targets for six yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Sinnott played 45 percent of the Commanders' offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap share of his young career. The rookie tight end caught his first career touchdown in the third quarter of the contest from backup quarterback Marcus Mariota, as starter Jayden Daniels was sidelined with a rib injury. As the year progresses, Sinnott should continue to develop and see some increased usage in the Commanders' passing attack. The 22-year-old still remains the No. 2 tight end option behind veteran…read more

  • Goes without target in Week 6

    Sinnott failed to draw a target while playing 11 of 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: The rookie second-round pick out of Kansas State is still looking for the first reception of his career while the Commanders continue to lean heavily on Zach Ertz and John Bates as their top two tight ends. Sinnott has been active for each of the first six games but has yet to play more than half of the snaps on offense in any contest.

  • Not involved in win

    Sinnott failed to record a single target in Monday's 38-33 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Despite not being targeted in the contest, Sinnott saw his snap percentage increase to 42 percent in Week 3 after averaging a 21 percent snap share in the first two weeks. The rookie tight end continues to play behind both Zach Ertz and John Bates, limiting his opportunities in the Commanders' offense. Sinnott should continue to develop going forward, but he remains off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Cardinals.

  • Minimal role in win

    Sinnott failed to record a single target in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Through two weeks, Sinnott has seen the field for just 26 offensive snaps and has not been targeted in the passing game in either contest. The rookie tight end continues to play behind veterans Zach Ertz and John Bates, and he'll likely find it difficult to see consistent playing time in Washington's offense in the early part of the 2024 campaign. Sinnott will look to continue his development in a limited role when the Commanders visit the Bengals in Week 3.

  • Doesn't play much Week 1

    Sinnott wasn't targeted in Sunday's 37-20 loss at Tampa Bay, playing only 23 percent of snaps on offense.

    Analysis: Zach Ertz ran 21 routes to Sinnott's four and tied for the team lead with four targets. That won't necessarily hold up all year, but Ertz figures to again lead the Washington tight ends in snaps, routes and targets in a Week 2 matchup with the Giants. Sinnott, a second-round pick, likely will have to settle for incremental role increases during the early part of his rookie season.

  • Makes 44-yard catch in NFL debut

    Sinnott caught all three of his targets for 57 yards in Saturday's 20-17 preseason loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Sinnott is expected to begin his career as a depth option behind veteran Zach Ertz, who got a day off Saturday. Sinnott got free down the seam for a 44-yard catch in the second quarter, but it's worth noting that all of his production came with third- and fourth-string quarterbacks Jeff Driskel and Sam Hartman in the game rather than Jayden Daniels or Marcus Mariota, who played one drive apiece. While this was a promising NFL debut for the rookie tight end, the 2024 second-round pick still…read more

  • Listed as third-stringer

    Sinnott is listed as the third-string tight end on Washington's initial preseason depth chart.

    Analysis: It's not shocking given that there haven't been reports of Sinnott working with the starters at training camp, but he's still the Washington tight end with the most potential to make a dent for fantasy purposes, considering the guys listed ahead of him are 33-year-old Zach Ertz and veteran blocker John Bates. Ertz is a strong favorite to enter Week 1 as the team's top pass-catching tight end; the question is how long he'll keep that role after averaging 8.6 and 6.9 yards per catch for Arizona…read more
