Commanders Bolster Ranks with Practice Squad Signing
2 Sep
Summary
- Commanders sign former Bears CB Terrell Smith to practice squad.
- Smith was a 5th-round pick in 2023 with previous NFL experience.
- The team is addressing critical injuries in their secondary.
As the Washington Commanders face critical injuries, particularly at cornerback, they have taken steps to bolster their secondary. The team signed former Chicago Bears cornerback Terrell Smith to their practice squad on Tuesday. Smith, originally a fifth-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft, has recorded 68 tackles and an interception in his young career.
This signing aims to mitigate the impact of existing injuries, including that of Trey Amos, who is expected to miss at least the first four games of the season. The Commanders' current cornerback depth is notably thin, making such roster maneuvers essential as they approach their September 13 regular-season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
