Washington Commanders Roster Moves: Two players signed on defense

Making moves before the Patriots game

The Washington Commanders announced two roster moves after today’s practice. The team has signed LB Jabril Cox and DB Tariq Castro-Fields from the practice squad. Both players have been elevated for game days over the last few weeks for special teams snaps.

Washington didn’t announce any roster moves for the team’s 16-man practice squad. They had two open roster spots after trading DEs Montez Sweat(Bears) and Chase Young(49ers) at Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline.

Washington could also be placing rookie OL Ricky Stromberg on injured reserve soon. He suffered a knee injury vs the Eagles last week, and was on crutches. He’s already been ruled out of the Patriots game on Sunday.
