Overview
- The Commanders signed 33-year-old Lucas Patrick to their active 53-man roster to give immediate depth at center and guard.
- Patrick visited Washington for a workout before the deal and will be eligible to play right away as a veteran on the active roster.
- To open the roster spot, Washington placed third-year linebacker Jordan Magee on injured reserve with a hamstring injury that will cost him at least four games.
- The team also added linebackers Marvin Jones Jr. and Austin Keys to the practice squad after holding multiple tryouts for LBs, tight ends, and a defensive end.
- Washington made the move because its interior line depth has limited experience behind starter Nick Allegretti, and Patrick’s versatility and 65 career starts give the team a seasoned backup option ahead of Week 2.
