The Washington Commanders made three more moves before tomorrow’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. Dan Quinn told reporters earlier today that Sam Hartman was getting signed to the 53-man roster from the practice squad. He will be the team’s emergency 3rd QB tomorrow, and for the season finale if Marcus Mariota is out again. Josh Johnson is getting the start tomorrow, and the Commanders signed their former QB3, Jeff Driskel, from the Arizona Cardinals earlier this week to back him up.
There was an open spot on the roster after WR Jamal Agnew, who was claimed off waivers from the Falcons, failed his physical. Jaylin Lane was one of three players placed on injured reserve this week. He was the team’s primary punt returner and had two return touchdowns this season. Agnew had returning experience, but he’s not an option now. The Commanders elevated River Cracraft from the practice squad for tomorrow’s game. He has some returning experience and could be a reserve option.
The Commanders are also thin on the defensive line with DT Eddie Goldman going to IR due to a concussion, and Daron Payne ruled out with a back injury. That leaves Javon Kinlaw, Johnny Newton, Sheldon Day, and newly-claimed Shy Tuttle on the interior DL. UDFA rookie Ricky Barber was elevated for the first time this season, and will be available tomorrow for special teams and DL depth.
