Overview
- The Commanders signed guard Max Scharping, center Daniel Brunskill and tackle Nicholas Petit‑Frere to the active roster, a move reported and confirmed on Saturday.
- To clear space the team released wide receiver Chris Hilton Jr. and guard Timothy McKay and placed defensive tackle D.J. Davidson on the Reserve/Retired list.
- Quinn described the additions as a competition-driven choice rather than an injury-driven one, though the team is monitoring Nick Allegretti’s calf and Laremy Tunsil’s recent practice evaluation.
- The three newcomers bring a combined 223 regular-season games of NFL experience with Brunskill at 108 games, Petit‑Frere at 34 games and Scharping at 81 games, supplying multi‑position flexibility across the line.
- The signings give Washington immediate veteran backup options and force a clearer training-camp pecking order that could shape final roster cuts and how the team protects Jayden Daniels in preseason play.
