The claim follows a limited eight-game stint in Washington during a 3-9 season.

Overview

  • Buffalo announced the waiver claim on Friday, adding the former first-round pick for depth in the secondary.
  • Darnell Savage was released by Washington at his request on Thursday after serving in a reduced role.
  • Washington used the vacated roster spot to activate defensive end Drake Jackson from injured reserve.
  • Savage appeared in eight games for the Commanders with roughly a 33% defensive snap share, recording 15 tackles, one pass deflection and one forced fumble.
  • The Commanders are using the remainder of the year to evaluate players for 2026 as they navigate a seven-game skid and ongoing roster adjustments.
