A two-time Pro Bowler who has spent his entire career with the Commanders, Way wasn’t nearly as busy in 2024 as he had been in previous seasons, thanks in part to Jayden Daniels and Kliff Kingsbury orchestrating drives that led to scores instead of punts. Way punted 50 times on the year — the second lowest total of his career, while averaging 42.9 net yards per punt. A well-respected player in the organization, Way, 34, will likely continue to see one-year deals as long as he continues to play.

Way ranks first in the league with 49.2 average yards per punt, and he's been named to the Pro Bowl accordingly. As a result, Washington has opted to lock up the standout punter for the foreseeable future.

Way was seen sporting a walking boot following Washington's 34-17 loss to the Jets, but the 29-year-old punter was not limited during Wednesday's practice session and should be fine to take the field Sunday against Detroit.

Way had X-rays as well, but those came back negative and the punter should be fine for Week 12's matchup against the Lions. Still, it wouldn't be surprising if the 29-year-old's practice status was monitored over the upcoming week.
