Commanders make roster moves ahead of Tuesday’s deadline

Every NFL team has until 4:00 p.m. ET Tuesday to trim their roster to 85 players in the summer’s first round of cuts. The Washington Commanders made multiple moves Tuesday morning to meet the deadline.

First, the Commanders placed tight end Sammis Reyes on season-ending injured reserve. He is now out for the season, but if he reaches an injury settlement with Washington, he could be released and sign with another team or return to the Commanders.

Reyes was a part of the International Player Pathway Program and spent last season on Washington’s roster. Reyes has been battling a hamstring issue and played only two snaps in the preseason opener — both of which were on special teams.

Washington also placed fullback Alex Armah on injured reserve. He appeared in two games for Washington last season.

The Commanders released cornerback De’Vante Bausby, who signed last week, and guard Deion Calhoun. After those moves, Washington’s roster was down to 86 players but receive an exemption due to defensive lineman David Bada being a part of the International Player Pathway Program.
