"Will Harris' return from injury was always going to come with collateral damage. As it turned out, Darnell Savage Jr. was the Washington Commanders' odd man out in their safety room. Savage was a healthy scratch against the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football. This didn't sit well with the defensive back, and he asked for his release. The Commanders granted his wish, putting him on the waiver wire to see if someone else would take the plunge."
"The Commanders have Harris, Quan Martin, and Jeremy Reaves logging prominent reps in the lineup. Tyler Owens and Percy Butler are core special-teams performers, which left Savage on the outside looking in. However, the Bills feel like he has something to offer, but he needs to make a smooth adjustment to stand a chance of making a lasting contribution down the stretch."
Will Harris returned from injury, pushing Darnell Savage Jr. out of the Washington Commanders' safety rotation. Savage was a healthy scratch versus the Denver Broncos, asked for his release, and was placed on waivers. The Buffalo Bills claimed Savage, adding depth to a secondary that has struggled despite Josh Allen's MVP-caliber play. Savage contributed as a rotational defender for Washington, peaking with 46.4 percent of snaps against Miami, but competition from Harris, Quan Martin, Jeremy Reaves, and special-teams fixtures limited his role. The Bills expect Savage to offer value if he adapts quickly and secures consistent snaps down the stretch.
