Washington Commanders wide receiver Dax Milne is in a battle for a roster spot this summer. It’s nothing new for the 2021 seventh-round pick, as Milne has earned his way onto the roster the last two seasons.
After being Washington’s primary kick/punt returner in 2022, undrafted rookie Kazmeir Allen is flashing in those roles early this offseason. But as Washington participated in its second week of OTAs this week in Ashburn, Milne displayed he still has the potential to make the Commanders as a wide receiver in 2023.
On Wednesday, Milne snagged a nice one-handed catch on a pass from quarterback Sam Howell. Cornerback Rachad Wildgoose was defending Milne on the play.

While Milne faces a battle to make Washington’s roster again in 2023, the Commanders have kept at least six wide receivers in recent years, which means Milne could still be in good shape come final cuts.
