"The Washington Commanders are likely to enter the season with Jordan Magee and Kain Medrano as their two primary backup linebackers. That might not be enough based on preseason efforts. Both are recent draft picks of general manager Adam Peters. Both boast impressive physical traits. But as we have seen throughout Washington's warmup slate, both players need to develop if they are to be counted on for serious defensive roles early in the campaign."
"Last year, starters Bobby Wagner and Frankie Luvu rarely left the field. If that good fortune runs out this year, will Magee or Medrano be ready? The Commanders have a couple of equally untested young players fighting for roster spots, and recently added veteran linebacker Duke Riley to the mix. Commanders shouldd consider bolstering LB depth with Tony Fields II Another veteran just became available when the Los Angeles Rams released Tony Fields II. This could be a solid short-term solution for the Commanders."
Jordan Magee and Kain Medrano project as the Commanders’ primary backup linebackers but both require development to handle significant defensive roles. Starters Bobby Wagner and Frankie Luvu played extensively last year, and increased snaps for them this season would test the backups’ readiness. Washington added veteran Duke Riley while a couple of young, untested players compete for roster spots. Tony Fields II became available after his release by the Los Angeles Rams and could offer a steadier, more experienced backup option. Fields is an undersized but technically sound defender with special-teams experience and some defensive starts.
