"There was one highlight play, but that's about it. Late in the second quarter, Sam Hartman found backup tight end Colson Yankoff for a 52-yard gain up the middle of the field. The second-year undrafted player is looking to make Washington's roster just as he did in 2024, and he had to have helped his case with his impressive flash."
"Colson Yankoff could make the Commanders roster over Ben Sinnott While Yankoff turned heads, the same could not be said for 2024 second-round pick Ben Sinnott, who did not catch a pass for the second consecutive game. The Kansas State product's preseason ends with a stat line of two catches for 10 receiving yards, both of which came in the warmup opener against the New England Patriots."
"After a rookie season in which he struggled to get on the field, few players needed to show improvement this summer more than Sinnott. He has not passed the eye test over the offseason, and it begs the question as to whether or not he even deserves a second season. Veteran Zach Ertz is set as the starter, and John Bates' role is secure as an elite blocker."
Washington struggled throughout the preseason and in the finale against Baltimore. Sam Hartman connected with backup tight end Colson Yankoff for a 52-yard gain, giving Yankoff a standout play and improving his chances to make the roster. Ben Sinnott failed to catch a pass in consecutive games, finishing preseason with two receptions for 10 yards from the opener. Sinnott's limited offensive production and unimpressive offseason performance jeopardize his spot. Zach Ertz projects as the starting tight end and John Bates remains valued for elite blocking. Special teams value favors Sinnott, but Yankoff's receiving flash creates direct roster competition and keeping four tight ends appears less likely.
