Washington Commanders Finalize Roster Decisions

The Washington Commanders concluded their preseason with a 20-10 victory over the New England Patriots, setting the stage for the imminent cutdown to a 53-man roster by the Tuesday deadline. General Manager Adam Peters and Head Coach Dan Quinn face challenging decisions, particularly regarding players like linebacker Jordan Magee, who will likely begin the season on injured reserve. The team’s roster is expected to undergo significant changes post-cutdown due to their favorable waiver claim position, allowing them to potentially add talent from other teams. Notably, the trade of first-round pick Jahan Dotson to the Philadelphia Eagles has opened up roster opportunities for others. Various players, including wide receiver Tremayne and undrafted free agent Tyler Owens, have made strong cases to secure spots, while tight end Cole Turner has been a disappointment this camp. As the Commanders finalize their roster, they will also consider additional moves to strengthen their lineup.
