It’s Saturday, and yes, the Commanders made a roster move.
Actually, they made two moves on the eve of their first NFC playoff game since the 2020 season when they lost to the Tampa Bay Bucs in the opening round.
Saturday, the Commanders elevated WR Chris Moore and CB Kevon Seymour from the practice squad.
This signals us that Jamison Crowder, who recently injured a hamstring, may not be ready to go Sunday against the Bucs. This is unfortunate because Crowder has played well since returning from the injured reserve after injuring a calf earlier in the season.
Crowder displayed an ability, a veteran’s knowledge, to get open down in the red zone when he caught two touchdowns against the Eagles. He has also been averaging 10.1 yards on his punt returns.
The team, in recent weeks, signed WR K.J. Osborn, and he has seen some action on offense as well as special teams.
Moore, 31, has played five games for the Cardinals this season, including against the Commanders on September 29, when Washington defeated Arizona 42-14. Although he has not received a reception this season, he has kickoff return experience, having returned 50 in his career.
Seymour’s elevation “could” mean the Commanders have reached the point where they may want to play Seymour over CB Michael Davis, who is 30.
Of note, the Commanders elevated DT Carl Davis three consecutive games but have not since Jonathan Allen’s return. Last week they elevated T Bobby Hart and DB Bobby Price, but apparently thought differently for this game against the Bucs.
