  • Commanders' Troy Apke: Inks one-year deal

    Apke signed a one-year contract with the Commanders on Sunday, Field Yates of ESPN reports. Apke played exclusively on special teams last year and logged six tackles (five solo) while appearing in all 17 games. He'll remain in Washington for a fifth straight year, but he'll have to compete for playing time once again ahead of the 2022 campaign after his decrease in production last season.

  • Football Team's Troy Apke: Clears COVID protocols

    Apke was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports. Apke was able to clear COVID protocols within five days and will return to provide depth in the secondary, although he mostly contributes on special teams. With Kendall Fuller still on the COVID list and out for Week 15, it's possible Apke could see extra work Tuesday against the Eagles.

  • Football Team's Troy Apke: Placed on COVID-19 list

    Washington placed Apke on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday. Apke has appeared in 13 games this season, but he's yet to handle a single defensive snap. Field Yates of ESPN reports that only one of the 31 players placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday was an unvaccinated high-risk close contact (Giants safety Xavier McKinney) meaning Apke tested positive for the virus.

  • Football Team's Troy Apke: Benched after midseason

    Apke started seven of 16 games during the 2020 season, recording 35 tackles (25 solo) and two pass defenses. Apke was a starter for Weeks 1-5 and 11-12, averaging 59 defensive snaps and 4.3 tackles in those games. Apart from those seven starts, he played just 28 defensive snaps, primarily focusing on special teams while rookie seventh-round pick Kamren Curl emerged as a reliable starter on defense. Given that Landon Collins (Achilles), Deshazor Everett (pectoral) and Jeremy Reaves also made starts at safety, Apke could be on the roster bubble heading into 2021, the final season of his rookie contract. To this point in his career, the 2018 fourth-round pick hasn't shown coverage skills to match his 4.34 speed.

  • Redskins' Troy Apke: Sidelined for final clash

    Apke (knee) won't suit up in Sunday's divisional matchup against the Cowboys. Apke was considered a game-time decision heading into the game after sustaining the injury last week. With the second-year player from Penn State sidelined, Jeremy Reaves appears in line to draw the start at free safety for the game.

  • Redskins' Troy Apke: Heading for IR

    Apke (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports. Apke has been placed on injured reserve due to a lingering hamstring injury, which the rookie fourth-round pick aggravated during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants. The 23-year-old will require an extended period of rest, and is not expected to recover until the latter portion of the 2018 regular season.

  • Redskins' Troy Apke: Could be placed on IR

    Apke (hamstring) is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve due to a lingering hamstring injury, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Apke has been unable to shake a hamstring injury sustained during Washington's first game of the regular season, and which he appears to have aggravated during the team's win over the Giants in Week 7. The rookie fourth-round pick has taken only 16 snaps this season, all of which have come on special teams. If Apke is indeed placed on injured reserve, his absence is unlikely to notably impact Washington's defense.

  • Redskins' Troy Apke: Suffers setback Sunday

    Apke is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants with a hamstring injury. Apke had been sidelined since Week 1 with a hamstring injury prior to Sunday's setback, though his absence doesn't figure to have much of an impact on Washington's defense.

  • Redskins' Troy Apke: Full participation Wednesday

    Apke (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Apke hasn't been active since Week 1 against the Cardinals, though it finally seems the rookie out of Penn Sate has healed from his hamstring injury. If he's active Sunday versus the Giants, expect him to back up D.J. Swearinger at free safety.

  • Redskins' Troy Apke: Inactive for Sunday's game

    Apke (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. The inactive status comes as little surprise considering Apke was listed as doubtful heading into Sunday. Apke is largely used as a special teams asset so his presence will be mostly missed in that department.
