Punter Tress Way has been listed as questionable for the Washington Commanders Thursday Night Football matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
Way has been on the injury report since he suffered a back injury against the New York Giants in Week 1. He did not participate in Monday's walkthrough but did kick on Tuesday and Wednesday. The concern for his availability against the Packers is low, but the team still signed punter Mitch Wishnowsky to the practice squad to be elevated as a backup.
"The concern is lower for us now, but like most things, [we] just try to always protect the team and make the decisions," head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday. "He hit the ball well today, so we signed Mitch and on a short week, [it was] just the right decision to go that way. But we expect Tress to do well."
Wishnowsky, a fourth-round pick by the San Francisco 49ers in 2019, has appeared in 92 games. He has made 310 punts covering 14,142 yards with 1,042 return yards allowed. He has just 20 touchbacks in his professional career with 138 punts inside the 20-yard line.
Commanders defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. is also listed as questionable after being listed with a knee injury earlier in the week. He was a full participant on Monday and Tuesday but limited on Wednesday.
The rest of the players on Washington's injury report, which includes quarterback Jayden Daniels and defensive tackle Daron Payne, will be available on Thursday.
