Commanders make roster moves ahead of Tuesday’s deadline

The Washington Commanders made multiple moves ahead of Tuesday’s deadline to trim rosters to 85 players.

Every NFL team has until 4:00 p.m. ET Tuesday to trim their roster to 85 players in the summer’s first round of cuts. The Washington Commanders made multiple moves Tuesday morning to meet the deadline.

First, the Commanders placed tight end Sammis Reyes on season-ending injured reserve. He is now out for the season, but if he reaches an injury settlement with Washington, he could be released and sign with another team or return to the Commanders.

Reyes was a part of the International Player Pathway Program and spent last season on Washington’s roster. Reyes has been battling a hamstring issue and played only two snaps in the preseason opener — both of which were on special teams.

Washington also placed fullback Alex Armah on injured reserve. He appeared in two games for Washington last season.

The Commanders released cornerback De’Vante Bausby, who signed last week, and guard Deion Calhoun. After those moves, Washington’s roster was down to 86 players but receive an exemption due to defensive lineman David Bada being a part of the International Player Pathway Program.

Here are the former Chiefs players who were selected in the USFL draft

Several former #Chiefs players were selected in the inaugural USFL draft. Check out the full list here:

The inaugural USFL draft has come to an end after 35 rounds between Day 1 and Day 2. The USFL draft is quite a bit different than the NFL draft with certain position groups are assigned to specific rounds.

The first round of the USFL draft saw two former Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks selected with the No. 1 and No. 2 overall picks. Several other former Chiefs players were part of the draft pool and selected in the remaining rounds.

Here’s a quick look at the former Chiefs players selected below:

Ex-Broncos DB De’Vante Bausby was the 3rd CB picked in USFL draft

De’Vante Bausby, who played in 15 games for the Broncos from 2019-2020, was the third cornerback selected in the USFL draft.

Former Denver Broncos cornerback De’Vante Bausby was selected by the New Jersey Generals in the eighth round of the USFL draft on Tuesday evening (the first round dedicated to cornerback selections).

Bausby was the third cornerback to go off the board, behind Channing Stribling (Philadelphia Stars) and Delrick Abrams (Tampa Bay Bandits).

Bausby, 29, has had quite the football journey. After playing college football at Pittsburg State, he joined the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent in 2015. After two years in Chicago, Bausby went on to have brief stints with the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles from 2017-2018.

In 2019, Bausby played for the San Antonio Commanders in the Alliance of American Football. He played so well in the AAF that Bausby caught the eye of the Broncos, who signed him after the AAF shut down.

Originally signed merely as a depth player, Bausby ended up being a key member of Denver’s secondary due to injuries at cornerback. He appeared in 15 games over two seasons in two different stints with the Broncos, breaking up eight passes.

Bausby also spent time with the Arizona Cardinals, Las Vegas Raiders and New England Patriots before landing in the USFL.
