The Commanders concluded the preseason Saturday with a 21-19 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Now, coach Ron Rivera and company have decisions to make.
NFL teams have until 4 p.m. Tuesday to cut rosters from 90 players to 53. Saturday was the last chance for players on the bubble to make their case that they deserve a spot. The Commanders played mostly backups against the Bengals as Washington rested 23 players — including all but three offensive starters.Quarterback : Sam Howell, Jacoby Brissett.
Wide receiver : Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, Curtis Samuel, Dyami Brown, Byron Pringle and Kazmeir Allen. Elsewhere, a tough cut for Washington could be Mitchell Tinsley, whose 39-yard touchdown in Saturday’s game was another strong showing for the undrafted rookie.It’s funny what difference a scheme change can make for a player. No player has arguably benefitted more from offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy’s arrival than Armah — formerly a little-used fullback whose ability to block has gone a long way in boosting his stock.
Will the team, for instance, keep five tackles? Fourth-rounder Braeden Daniels is still very much a work in progress, which might create room for the Commanders to keep Scott — a six-year veteran who has primarily worked with the second unit all offseason.
