The Washington Football Team announced their official 53-man roster on Tuesday. Washington had to release some talented players to get down to its final 53, including former draft choices.
So, on Wednesday, it was no surprise when the Football Team announced their practice squad that it was comprised of many of the players who were recently released. In fact, all 15 members of Washington’s first 2021 practice squad are players who were with Washington over the summer.
Players like wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden, a fourth-round pick in 2020. Head coach Ron Rivera described how tough it was to release Gandy-Golden on Tuesday. Now, he’s back.
Running back Peyton Barber, who was Washington’s short-yardage back in 2020, is also back.
Washington can sign 16 players to its practice squad, yet announced just 15 players on Wednesday. Washington could opt to fill that spot later.
