The Washington Commanders have made significant roster changes as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain. With injuries impacting their lineup, the team is taking necessary steps to bolster their squad. The latest moves focus primarily on the wide receiver position and address ongoing injury concerns.
Roster Updates
One of the major developments is the placement of rookie cornerback Trey Amos on injured reserve after suffering a fractured fibula. This unfortunate injury marks the end of his season. Additionally, veteran cornerback Marshon Lattimore has also been placed on injured reserve due to a torn ACL.
Wide Receivers Promoted
In response to these injuries, the Commanders have elevated two wide receivers from their practice squad:
- Robbie Chosen: Chosen has been elevated twice this season, with recent performances against the Detroit Lions. He has been targeted eight times and has made five receptions for a total of 53 yards.
- Jacoby Jones: Jones has yet to play in a game this season. He joined the Commanders as an undrafted free agent following this year’s draft.
Practice Squad Additions
To fill the gaps left on the practice squad, the Commanders have signed:
- River Cracraft: A veteran receiver who had previously been with the Commanders during the summer.
- DeMarcus Walker: A defensive end whose signing was anticipated. Reports suggest he may be elevated for the upcoming game, though this could impact Jalyn Holmes, who was a healthy scratch last week.
The Commanders are making strategic moves as they navigate their challenging season, focusing on maintaining a competitive roster amid ongoing injuries. As their game against the Dolphins approaches, the team’s adjustments will be critical for their performance on the field.
