The Washington Football Team has its 53-man roster in place. Today, they waived/released:

RB Peyton Barber
WR Antonio Gandy-Golden
QB Steven Montez
G Beau Benzschawel
DE William Bradley-King
WR Tony Brown
C Keith Ismael
CB Danny Johnson
LB Jordan Kunaszyk
DT Devaroe Lawrence

Washington Signs CB Aaron Colvin To Practice Squad

September 6th, 2020 at 5:20pm CST by Sam Robinson

Aaron Colvin opted against lingering in free agency ahead of the 2020 season. The veteran slot cornerback — a Washington cut Saturday — agreed to stay in the nation’s capital, joining Washington’s practice squad.

A four-year Jaguars cog, Colvin signed a lucrative deal to join the Texans in 2018. He spent a season as Houston’s slot cornerback, but after the Texans’ final-seconds loss to the Saints in Week 1 of 2019, the team made Colvin a scapegoat and accepted a dead-money hit to cut him.

Washington claimed Colvin on waivers and used him in six games. This season’s Washington squad, however, did not include the 28-year-old cornerback. He will work as an emergency player and as one of the team’s veteran P-squad staffers.

Former 49ers first-round guard Joshua Garnett, a late-offseason Washington addition, also opted to avoid another long-term free agency stay. He signed with the Washington practice squad. Given the injury trouble Washington has experienced on its offensive line in recent years, Garnett may end up seeing game action for the first time since 2018.

Here is Washington’s practice squad, as of Sunday afternoon:

DT David Bada
DE Jordan Brailford
WR Tony Brown
CB Aaron Colvin
G Joshua Garnett
TE Hale Hentges
QB Steven Montez
LB Jared Norris
DE Nate Orchard
LB Donald Payne
C Ross Pierschbacher
S Jeremy Reaves
WR Cam Sims

Washington Cuts CB Aaron Colvin, Moves Down To 53

September 5th, 2020 at 3:05pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here is how Washington trimmed its camp roster down to the 53-man regular-season limit. Some notable veterans did not make the squad.

Waived:

T Paul Adams
DT David Bada
DE Jordan Bradford
WR Tony Brown
G Joshua Garnett
TE Hale Hentges
WR Johnathon Johnson
CB Ryan Lewis
QB Steven Montez
LB Jared Norris
T Timon Parris
LB Donald Payne
C Ross Pierschbacher
WR Trey Quinn
S Jeremy Reaves
WR Cam Sims
T David Steinmetz
WR Jester Weah

Released:

CB Aaron Colvin
S Sean Davis (story)
DE Nate Orchard
TE Richard Rodgers

Placed on IR:

DL Ryan Bee
LB Reuben Foster (story)
G Mike Liedtke
CB Simeon Thomas
WR Jordan Veasy

Washington added Colvin last year, doing so after the Texans cut him early in the season. The veteran has played six seasons, seeing action with the Jaguars, Texans and Washington. He will head back to free agency. As with Rodgers, who was the most notable tight end on Washington’s roster entering camp. Following the exits of Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis — and Thaddeus Moss‘ IR trip — Washington does not feature much of note at the position.

Mr. Irrelevant in 2018, Quinn latched on with Washington for two seasons. He operated as Washington’s slot receiver for a time, but with a new regime running the show now, Quinn will head to the waiver wire. However, he would certainly profile as a player who could be added to Washington’s 16-man practice squad. Garnett would as well.

The team added Garnett during training camp, but the former first-round pick has never managed to carve out a consistent role as a pro.
