Commanders release S Will Harris, put LB Drake Jackson on IR

The Commanders announced the previously reported signing of linebacker Boogie Basham on Tuesday morning and they also made a number of other roster moves.

The Washington Commanders have made several roster moves, including the release of safeties Will Harris and Malik Spencer, and placing linebacker Drake Jackson on injured reserve. In their place, the team has signed safeties Joshuah Bledsoe and Quindell Johnson. Harris, who started all nine games last season, contributed with 38 tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble.

Jackson, a 2022 second-round pick by the 49ers, played in only three games for Washington. Bledsoe, drafted in the sixth round by the Patriots in 2021, played for two seasons with the team. Johnson, who went undrafted this year, has now joined the Commanders.
