Stromberg (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
The rookie offensive lineman out of Arkansas missed last week's contest after he suffered a knee injury during the Commanders' Week 8 loss to the Eagles, and he's since been placed on IR. Stromberg had appeared in only four games this season, playing a total of 28 snaps (26 on offense and two on special teams).

Commanders' Ricky Stromberg: Exits with knee injury
Rotowire
Stromberg hurt his knee during Sunday's Week 8 game against Philadelphia and won't return to the contest, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Stromberg's injury occurred on an extra-point try in the first quarter. The lineman had to be helped off the field and wasn't able to put any weight on his right leg, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. Stromberg's absence will impact the Commanders' offensive line depth.
The Commanders selected Stromberg in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 97th overall.
A four-year starter at Arkansas, Stromberg has the potential to start right away for Washington. The 300-pounder earned first-team All-SEC honors at center this past fall.
