In preparation for Saturday night’s NFC divisional round playoff game in Detroit, the Washington Commanders have made four roster moves.
The Commanders have placed LB Jordan Magee on the injured reserve list. They have also activated TE Colson Yankoff off of the injured reserve list. Thirdly, the Commanders have elevated two defensive players, DE Andre Jones Jr. and CB Kevon Seymour, from the practice squad.
Seymour was activated last week as well and played, as the Commanders determined to leave CB Michael Davis as inactive against the Bucs. So, reason says, that will likely occur again against the Lions tonight.
Jones may be coming up to take the place of Magee on special teams. It is a move that makes sense, seeing the Commanders in recent weeks lost both Magee and S Tyler Owens on their coverage units for punts and kickoffs.
The Commanders had recently opened the window for Yankoff to practice with the team. Yankoff excelled in the preseason on both punt and kickoff coverage units. Also, TE Ben Sinnott was injured and left the game last week against the Bucs. So it could be the Commanders have determined Sinnott is not going to be fully healthy, and therefore, they are going with Yankoff against the Lions.
