Which defensive players did the Commanders release?
DT Byron Cowart: Late signing, played well against the Lions , may be brought back.
DT Shy Tuttle: Once IR moves are made, Tuttle will be back on the 53.
CB Fabian Moreau: Vested veteran; not subject to waivers, back on the 53 soon after an IR move.
CB Car’lin Vigers: Has shown some development; if he clears waivers, he returns to the practice squad.
LB Ale Kaho: Lost to Kain Medrano (special teams); They like Kaho; hope to have him back on the practice squad.
DT Maurice Hurst II: Don’t rule out just yet; might bring back with IR move.
CB Antonio Hamilton Sr.: Age 33; has tremendous attitude they like; might have him again.
CB Fred Davis II: Raw, needs development, might return to practice squad.
CB Darius Rush: They really hoped for more than he delivered in preseason.
OLB T.J. Maguranyanga: Displayed development; could be brought back to the practice squad.
LB Krys Barnes: He was depth during preseason, wasn’t expected to make the roster.
LB Curtis Jacobs: The final spot came down to Medrano vs Kaho; Jacobs wasn’t going to make the team.
S Quindell Johnson: Very crowded room; simply wasn’t going to make it.
DT Jeffrey M’Ba: With his size, could be brought back to the practice squad to be a reserve NT.
