Commanders sign 15 players to the practice squad

The Washington Commanders announced 15 of 16 players for their first practice squad of the 2022 season. However, the Commanders have two spots open on the practice squad due to defensive tackle David Bada’s exemption as a part of the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program.

All 15 names should be familiar to Washington fans. Every member of the initial practice squad spent the summer with the Commanders. Surprisingly, former fourth-round pick guard Wes Martin wasn’t re-signed to the practice squad. Washington recently claimed Martin off waivers after the Jaguars released him.

Ben Standig of The Athletic did report the Commanders still plan to re-sign Martin.
