Commanders Roster Update: Cleveland Browns poach rookie CB from Washington’s practice squad

The Washington Commanders had their practice squad poached by the Cleveland Browns today. They’ve signed UDFA rookie CB Chigozie Anusiem to their active roster. He was a big name signing out of Colorado State after this year’s draft, getting a $50k signing bonus, and $300k in guaranteed salary. He didn’t make the Commanders roster, but was signed to their practice squad before the season started. Anusiem wasn’t elevated during the season, and now moves on to a bigger opportunity with the Browns. Washington now has a spot open on their practice squad to sign another player.

Future Hogs - Week 11: A look at college football players who could help the Washington Commanders

The top four teams in the College Football Playoff rankings had very different outcomes in Week 11 of the college football season.

Undefeated Miami was upset for the second year in a row by Georgia Tech. The new top four in the College Playoff Rankings are Oregon, Ohio State, Texas, and Penn State.

Terry McLaurin often tortures the Eagles, but they have a new wrinkle

The Commanders wide receiver typically tangles with Philadelphia cornerback Darius Slay, but a matchup with rookie Quinyon Mitchell could be in store Thursday.

If there’s any truism about Washington’s NFL team — amid coaching changes, personnel changes, scheme changes and even name changes — it’s that it always seems to get up for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Dan Quinn knows the “moments” are coming for some rookies to deliver, and a short week against the Eagles is a good time

A short week against a division rival is an ideal time for Washington to showcase some unexpected players against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Washington head coach Dan Quinn has gotten a lot out of a few of his rookies ten weeks into the season. Of course, Jayden Daniels is the Commanders' starting quarterback, but Johnny Newton, Mike Sainristil, and Brandon Coleman are also making an impact. Alternatively, Luke McCaffrey and Ben Sinnott have been on fans' minds. It's not like they aren't playing; McCaffrey sees 45 percent of the offensive snaps, and Sinnott sees 31 percent. However, they have combined for...
