6 Commanders on the roster bubble in preseason Week 2
Here are six Commanders on the roster bubble ahead of the Week 2 preseason game at Detroit.
As Washington prepares for its preseason matchup against the Detroit Lions, six players find themselves on the roster bubble. Quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis is in the thick of the competition, with the outcome hinging on whether Washington opts to keep two or three quarterbacks. Running back Robert Henry Jr., who was once on the potential practice squad, is now squarely on the bubble after a standout performance last week.
Center Julian Good-Jones, who has been overshadowed by rookie Matt Gulbin, will need to deliver in the final two games and the joint practice. Edge rusher Javontae Jean-Baptiste, a 2024 seventh-round pick, is overshadowed by free-agent signings but must make an impact in these crucial games. Linebacker Kain Medrano, a sixth-round draft pick, finds himself battling Ale Kaho for the final linebacker spot, as Washington's defensive line is much deeper than previous years.
Lastly, safety Will Harris, signed to replace Jeremy Chinn, could be the odd man out despite his strengths on the field.
