A look at the Commanders’ initial 53-man roster

The Washington Commanders finalized their first 53-man roster of the 2022 NFL season on Tuesday, by releasing over 20 players ahead of the league-mandated deadline.

Will this version of Washington’s roster be the same one when the Commanders open the 2022 season in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars? Probably not. Washington, like other teams, will keep an eye on cuts from around the league, meaning more moves could occur over the next several days.
