Commanders activate linebacker Kain Medrano from PUP list

The Washington Commanders activated linebacker Kain Medrano on August 3, 2026, allowing him to participate in training camp. Medrano had been on the physically unable to perform list due to a hamstring injury. A sixth-round pick last year, he played nine games as a rookie, contributing five tackles and a fumble recovery while primarily serving on special teams. His activation comes as the team continues preparations for the upcoming season, with several players, including cornerback Trey Amos and defensive ends Dorance Armstrong and Deatrich Wise, remaining on the PUP list.
