Cleared for Week 4
St-Juste (chest) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
St-Juste was limited for the first two practices of the week, but he was able to avoid an injury tag heading into Week 4 after practicing in full Friday. The 2021 third-round pick has tallied 17 tackles (14 solo), four passes defended and one forced fumble through the first three games of the regular season.

Stats not availableLimited Wednesday
St-Juste (chest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
It appears St-Juste is dealing with a new injury after playing through a groin issue during the Commanders' Week 3 win over the Bengals. If the 27-year-old cornerback is unable to suit up due to his chest injury in Week 4, expect 2023 first-round pick Emmanuel Forbes to see more snaps in Washington's secondary.
Good to go for Week 3
St-Juste (groin) was a full participant in Saturday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Bengals.
St-Juste was limited during the first two practices of the week due to a groin issue, but he was able to practice without restrictions Saturday. The 2021 third-round pick has accumulated 11 tackles (10 solo), four passes defended and one forced fumble across the first two games of the regular season.
Makes 16 starts, 67 tackles
St-Juste finished 2023 with 67 tackles, 17 pass defenses, two forced fumbles, one sack and one interception in 16 games (all starts).
The 2021 third-round pick had a career year from a statistical standpoint but was one of the most picked-on cornerbacks in the league. At least three different stat services placed St-Juste in the bottom six among all players for yards allowed into his coverage, and a new coaching staff in Washington may want him out of the starting lineup for the final season of his rookie contract in 2024.
Ready for Sunday
St-Juste (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Washington's top cornerback was able to practice in full for the second consecutive day and he's set to face the Cowboys in Week 18 after clearing concussion protocol. St-Juste has started all 15 of the games he's appeared in for Washington this season, racking up 63 total tackles, 17 pass deflections and one interception.
Upgrades to full work
St-Juste (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
There's still no word on whether the 26-year-old cornerback has passed concussion protocol, but he was able to practice in full Thursday after recording a limited session Wednesday. St-Juste missed the Commanders' Week 17 loss to the 49ers and unless he's able to officially clear protocol by Friday, he could very well carry an injury designation into Week 18.
Out for Sunday vs. 49ers
St-Juste (concussion) is out for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
St-Juste will miss his first game of the season in Week 17 as he recovers from a concussion. Kendall Fuller (knee) is also out Sunday, leaving rookie second-rounder Quan Martin as perhaps Washington's top option at cornerback.
Misses practice Wednesday
St-Juste (concussion) did not participate at the Commanders' practice Wednesday.
St-Juste suffered a concussion in Washington's loss to the Jets in Week 16 and his absence Wednesday comes as no surprise. The cornerback will look to progress through concussion protocol prior to Sunday's matchup with the 49ers. If he's unable to do so, Quan Martin and Tariq Castro-Fields will likely see an uptick in usage against San Francisco.
Will not return
St-Juste (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jets.
St-Juste will now enter the league's five-step concussion protocols and be unable to play until being cleared by an independent neurologist, which will likely leave him questionable throughout Week 17 prep as well. Quan Martin and Tariq Castro-Fields will be candidates to see extra snaps in his absence.
