One day after NFL teams were required to trim their rosters to 80 players, the Washington Commanders made another move. The Commanders claimed guard Wes Martin off waivers and released cornerback Channing Stribling.
If Martin’s name sounds familiar, it’s because he was a Washington fourth-round draft pick in 2019. He appeared in 25 games for Washington in 2019 and 2020, starting 10 games. Washington released Martin during final cuts last August and re-signed him to the practice squad the following day.
The New York Giants signed Martin off Washington’s practice squad last September, where he appeared in seven games, making one start. The Giants waived Martin after the 2022 NFL draft, and he was claimed off waivers by the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars waived Martin on Monday.
The Commanders have battled injuries along the offensive line this summer, so Martin has an outside shot at making Washington’s roster.
Stribling signed with the Commanders last month.
