"The Washington Commanders were dealt another hammer blow on the injury front when veteran safety Will Harris suffered a broken fibula against the Las Vegas Raiders. Fortunately for fans, general manager Adam Peters is always thinking two steps ahead. He's also willing to act quickly when personnel moves are required. Losing Harris is a blow, but Peters had a contingency plan ready to go."
"It's a one-year deal. More importantly, it's a chance to contribute to a contending squad after things fizzled out with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Savage quickly fell out of favor when the new regime took charge in Jacksonville. He's been a decent player throughout his career, but not quite to the level expected of a first-round pick. With Washington's pass game coordinator, Jason Simmons, also having a previous connection to the player, it's well worth a closer look from Peters' perspective."
"The Commanders have Jeremy Reaves, Tyler Owens, and Percy Butler to log reps in Harris's absence. They've been around the scheme and have performed well when called upon this season. Savage is a solid insurance policy, and he's got the athletic instincts to potentially carve out a rotational role for himself with a smooth adjustment. Harris was expected to fill the void left by Jeremy Chinn, and now the Commanders need to pivot."
Will Harris suffered a broken fibula against the Las Vegas Raiders, removing a key safety from the Commanders' lineup. General manager Adam Peters moved quickly, arranging a visit and signing Darnell Savage Jr. to a one-year deal as immediate depth. Savage had fallen out of favor with the Jacksonville Jaguars' new regime and seeks to revive his career in Washington. Pass game coordinator Jason Simmons has a prior connection to Savage. Jeremy Reaves, Tyler Owens, and Percy Butler will cover reps while Savage provides insurance and the athletic versatility to potentially earn a rotational role.
