On Wednesday, the Washington Commanders brought back a familiar face. Per his agents, Katz Brothers Sports, the Commanders re-signed veteran wide receiver Byron Pringle.
Pringle, 30, spent the 2023 season with Washington, where he appeared in all 17 games, making one start. Pringle caught 14 passes for 161 yards. Pringle was initially brought to the Commanders by his former offensive coordinator with the Kansas City Chiefs, Eric Bienemy.
Pringle entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2018, out of Kansas State. He spent the first four seasons of his career with the Chiefs. Pringle played for the Chicago Bears in 2022.
Pringle has 91 receptions for 1,194 yards and nine touchdowns for his career.
It’s uncertain why Washington is bringing in Pringle again. Ahead of Tuesday’s practice, there were no known injuries at wide receiver. Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson and Luke McCaffrey are the only roster locks at receiver. Several positions remain up for grabs.
The Commanders return to the practice field on Thursday after a day off.
