It’s been quite the summer for Washington Commanders tight end Armani Rogers. The former college quarterback was signed as an undrafted free agent after the 2022 NFL draft and immediately impressed Washington’s coaches in the offseason program.
With starting tight end Logan Thomas still recovering from a torn ACL at the beginning of training camp, there was an opportunity for Rogers. When No. 2 tight end John Bates missed most of camp with a calf injury and rookie fifth-round pick Cole Turner went down with a hamstring injury, and suddenly Rogers was atop Washington’s preseason depth chart at tight end.
