Commanders place WR Dax Milne on IR: Re-sign DE William Bradley-King

Could we see Jamison Crowder on Sunday?

The Washington Commanders placed third-year wide receiver Dax Milne on the reserve/injured list Friday and re-signed defensive end William Bradley-King.

Milne is dealing with a groin injury from the preseason. With Milne out, the Commanders still have six wide receivers on the 53-man roster. However, the Commanders recently re-signed former starting wideout Jamison Crowder to the practice squad. Washington could elevate Crowder for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals to serve as the punt returner. Undrafted rookie Kazmeir Allen is also an option, but Crowder appears more likely.

Bradley-King’s signing is interesting. A seventh-round pick in 2021, Bradley-King has gone between the active roster and practice squad in his first two NFL seasons. He was released during final cuts and re-signed again to the practice squad. Earlier this week, the Commanders released him from the practice squad.

What does Bradley-King’s re-signing mean for the status of Chase Young? We will likely know the answer later on Friday when head coach Ron Rivera speaks to the media.
