Commanders quietly oust struggling veteran as injury relief sparks shakeup
"Wide receiver Terry McLaurin made his triumphant return last week versus the Denver Broncos. The Commanders also got a monumental boost with Quinn confirming that superstar quarterback Jayden Daniels will take his place under center against the Minnesota Vikings. And the signal-caller is going to have his top-three wideouts available for the first time since Week 2 after Noah Brown was activated from injured reserve."
"Brown's been dealing with knee and ankle injuries stemming back to Washington's mandatory minicamp. It's been a long road back to health for the former Ohio State standout, and he's eager to make up for some lost time. That meant someone had to be sacrificed, and the Commanders opted to release Chris Moore. Fans shouldn't be entirely surprised by this development. Moore's influence has steadily waned after his 59-yard receiving effort against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7."
Washington's roster is trending toward health, increasing competitiveness despite an unsalvageable record. Terry McLaurin returned last week, and Jayden Daniels will start against the Minnesota Vikings. Noah Brown was activated from injured reserve, restoring the top three wideouts for the first time since Week 2. Brown missed time with knee and ankle injuries that began at mandatory minicamp. To clear a roster spot, the team released Chris Moore after his role diminished following a Week 7 59-yard game, limited targets, and a sharp snap-percentage drop in Week 13. Treylon Burks' emergence and Moore's inconsistency prompted the move; Moore could rejoin the practice squad as insurance.
