The 3-1 Washington Commanders host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday and could be getting some reinforcements.
The Commanders opened the 21-day practice window for three players who began the season on the reserve/injured list: Quarterback Marcus Mariota, linebacker Jordan Magee and defensive lineman Efe Obada.
Jeff Driskel has been serving as Jayden Daniels’ backup, while Sam Hartman was signed from the practice squad to be the No. 3 quarterback. Once Mariota is activated, Hartman will likely return to the practice squad.
Magee, the fifth-round rookie from Temple, drew rave reviews from coaches and teammates throughout the offseason and training camp before suffering a preseason knee injury. He would become Bobby Wagner’s backup.
Obada, the veteran who has spent the past two seasons with the Commanders, returned on a one-year deal. Obada suffered a gruesome leg injury late last season. He would give the Commanders solid depth and versatility as he can play tackle or end.
Washington has 21 days from Wednesday to either activate the three players or place them on season-ending injured reserve.
In another move from Wednesday, the Commanders placed veteran wide receiver Jamison Crowder on the reserve/injured list.
