Commanders' Efe Obada: Returning to practice
Obada (lower leg) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday.
Obada has missed the mandatory four games since being placed on the PUP list as camp opened. The 32-year-old will now have a 21-day window to practice with the team before he needs to be added to the 53-man roster. Considering the amount of time Obada has missed, it's unlikely he'd suit up Sunday against the Browns, but greater clarity will likely be available closer to the Week 5 matchup.
