Commanders' Krys Barnes: Signing with Washington
Barnes is signing with the Commanders, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
The linebacker appeared in seven regular-season games for Carolina in 2025, making 23 tackles (six solo). Barnes has posted two 80-plus-tackle seasons in his career, although the most recent was in 2021. The former Panther, Cardinal and Packer has seen action on defense and special teams throughout his time in the NFL, and he could compete for snaps on both units with the Commanders.

Commanders' Craig Reynolds: Catches on with Washington
The Commanders signed Reynolds to a contract Monday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Reynolds was a free agent for the entire offseason, but he will get a look with the Commanders to give the team some backfield depth while Jeremy McNichols works through a quadriceps injury. Reynolds mostly served on special teams across seven regular-season games with the Lions in 2025 before being waived by the team in late November. He ended the season on the Patriots' practice-squad injured list due to an unspecified injury.

Commanders' Drew Stevens: Wins kicker competition in Washington
Stevens has claimed the Commanders' kicker job after the team cut Jake Moody on Monday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Stevens inked a contract with Washington as an undrafted free agent in May, joining a position group headlined by Moody. Both kickers netted one field goal and one extra point apiece in Friday's preseason win against the Dolphins, but with Moody out of the picture, Stevens is the only player at the position on the Commanders' roster. Pending an addition at kicker in advance of Week 1, Stevens is slated to work in concert with a Jayden Daniels-led offense.

Commanders' Nick Allegretti: Expected to practice Tuesday
Allegretti (calf) is expected to practice in some capacity Tuesday, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
Allegretti has been nursing a calf injury since early August, but he now appears to be close to full health. The 30-year-old is competing to earn the starting role at center in 2026, and he'll have a chance to play in Saturday's preseason matchup with the Lions.

Commanders' Trey Amos: No return timeline yet
Amos (ankle) still has no return timeline set, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.
Amos suffered an ankle injury last Monday and has not practiced since the issue occurred. The 2025 second-rounder has likely not progressed well in his recovery if there is still no timeline for a return. The Commanders may be preparing for Amos to miss the start of the regular season, in which case veteran cornerback Rasul Douglas will likely start opposite Mike Sainristil in the team's secondary.

Commanders' John Bates: Set to practice Tuesday
Bates (hamstring) is set to begin practicing Tuesday, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
Bates suffered a hamstring injury in late July and has not practiced since the issue developed. The tight end is recovering well and is set to see at least a limited practice session Tuesday. While Bates has been absent, Ben Sinnott has been expanding his route tree in the hopes of obtaining the No. 2 tight end role. Bates will need to prove he can maintain his position behind Chig Okonkwo as he works his way back the remainder of the preseason.

Commanders' Sam Hartman: Chance to be QB2 sans Mariota
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday that Marcus Mariota has been diagnosed with a sprained MCL in his right knee, which puts Hartman in position to be the Commanders' backup quarterback for the rest of the preseason.
Mariota picked up the injury during the Commanders' 20-7 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday, and follow-up tests confirmed a sprained MCL. Hartman didn't have the best performance in the Commanders' preseason opener, completing eight of 15 passes for 80 yards and an interception while turning three carries into 13 yards. Given that he's been Washington's emergency QB3 since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in April 2024, Hartman figures to be ahead of Athan Kaliakmanis to be the team's backup quarterback behind Jayden Daniels while Mariota is sidelined, though the Commanders may bring in a veteran quarterback to compete for the QB2 job.

Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Diagnosed with sprained MCL
Mariota is expected to miss the rest of the preseason due to a sprained MCL in his knee, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Mariota sustained the injury in the first quarter of the Commanders' 20-7 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday. Sam Hartman and undrafted rookie Athan Kaliakmanis are the other two reserve quarterbacks on the training camp roster, so the Commanders could look to acquire another QB via free agency or trade to provide depth behind Jayden Daniels. Mariota will focus on rehab and recovery over the next few weeks, and head coach Dan Quinn expressed optimism Sunday that Mariota will be available for the Commanders' regular-season opener against the Eagles on Sunday, Sept. 13, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post.

Commanders' Javontae Jean-Baptiste: Plays in Friday contest
Jean-Baptiste made two tackles (one solo) during Friday night's preseason game against the Dolphins.
Jean-Baptiste played 30 defensive snaps for the Commanders. The weakside linebacker was on the field for 55 percent of the team's defensive plays. For the 24-year-old to move up the depth chart before cutdown day, he will likely need to make more splash plays in next Saturday's preseason showdown against the Lions.

Commanders' Antonio Williams: Solid gain on one reception
Williams brought in one of three targets for 16 yards in the Commanders' 20-7 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday.
The rookie third-round pick has been impressing in camp and even receiving some limited first-team reps, so his busy and productive night Friday relative to playing time wasn't surprising. Williams outperformed Luke McCaffrey (zero catches on two targets), who's directly above him on the Commanders' unofficial depth chart, against the Dolphins, and it remains to be seen if the Clemson product can keep pushing his veteran teammate in Washington's second preseason game on the road against the Lions on Saturday, Aug. 22.

Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Blanked in preseason opener
McCaffrey failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Commanders' 20-7 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday.
McCaffrey played most of the first half but couldn't corral either of the two passes Sam Hartman directed his way. The 2024 third-round pick, who saw his 2025 campaign cut short by a broken collarbone, is in the midst of a pivotal training camp for his future with the franchise, as there are experienced options beneath him such as Treylon Burks, Dyami Brown, Jaylin Lane and Van Jefferson.

Commanders' Kaytron Allen: Sees heavy workload in win
Allen rushed 23 times for 85 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for one yard in the Commanders' 20-7 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday.
The rookie sixth-round pick improved his rushing numbers over the prior season in each of his last three years at Penn State, and Allen is now trying to nail down the No. 3 job in a veteran running back room. Going by the amount of playing time he saw Friday, it's clear the coaching staff is intrigued with his potential. Allen's first chance to build on his game-high rushing yardage total and one-yard touchdown run comes in a road preseason matchup against the Lions on Saturday, Aug. 22.

Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Injury update in coming days
Head coach Dan Quinn said after Friday's 20-7 preseason win over the Dolphins that he'll provide an update on Mariota (knee) on Sunday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Mariota may have picked up a knee injury when he was hit by Tyrel Dodson in the first quarter. Mariota initially stayed in but was favoring his right knee after handing the ball off to Kaytron Allen, with the former being tended to by trainers on the ground. Mariota was able to walk off the field on his own, but an extended absence would be a blow considering he appeared in 11 regular-season games (eight starts) last year while Jayden Daniels was sidelined due to injury. Sam Hartman and undrafted rookie Athan Kaliakmanis are the other two quarterbacks on the training camp roster, but if Mariota were to miss time, then the Commanders would likely look to add a veteran QB via free agency or trade.

Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Exits Friday's game
Mariota left the first quarter of Friday's preseason game against the Dolphins due to an apparent right knee injury, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Mariota may have picked up the injury when he was hit by Tyrel Dodson right after a pass to Dyami Brown. Mariota initially stayed in but was favoring his right leg after handing the ball off to Kaytron Allen, and the veteran quarterback has gone to the locker room to undergo further tests, per Jhabvala. Sam Hartman has taken over as the Commanders' quarterback following Mariota's departure.

Commanders' Dorance Armstrong: Suspended to start season
The NFL suspended Armstrong for the first game of the regular season, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Armstrong will miss Week 1 for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. The announcement did not specify the reason for the violation, but it could be related to the linebacker's May arrest on charges of assault and resisting arrest. Armstrong came off the active/PUP list last Friday after finally recovering from the knee injury he suffered during Week 7 of the 2025 season. The 23-year-old participated in all seven games before going down, so it is expected he will be a key piece of the Commanders' 2026 depth once he serves his suspension.
