"The Washington Commanders traded for established star Deebo Samuel Sr. and brought in several other experienced pass-catchers for training camp. When the dust settled on the final roster, veterans Michael Gallup and K.J. Osborn were gone, and promising undrafted rookie Ja'Corey Brooks was on the practice squad. Peters initially kept just five receivers, then brought one of the vets - Chris Moore - back from the practice squad before the season opener."
"This could end up being a coming-out party for Commanders' rookie Jaylin Lane. The fourth round pick out of Virginia Tech was only targeted twice in his debut and caught just one pass. But he was on the field for more snaps than both Moore and Luke McCaffrey, Washington's other backup receivers. His place on the roster from week to week is secure. Lane is the Commanders' primary punt returner, "
Adam Peters added Deebo Samuel and several experienced pass-catchers to increase Jayden Daniels' offensive weapons. The Commanders removed veterans Michael Gallup and K.J. Osborn from the final roster and placed undrafted rookie Ja'Corey Brooks on the practice squad, briefly keeping only five receivers before returning Chris Moore from the practice squad. Terry McLaurin remains limited after a contract holdout, and Deebo Samuel produced the lone major impact in Week 1. Green Bay's defense and Micah Parsons present a tougher test in Week 2, prompting expected emphasis on the run and potential expanded opportunities for rookie Jaylin Lane as receiver and primary punt returner.
