Commanders Sign Jamison Crowder to Active Roster: Details
The Washington Commanders are making a change to the active roster.
According to sources, the Commanders have signed veteran wideout Jamison Crowder to the active roster.
Crowder, 30, returned three punts in Washington's 20-16 win against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
He was drafted by Washington in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL Draft and played his first four seasons in the league with the team.
Crowder's best season with the Commanders came in 2016, when he caught 67 passes for 847 yards and seven touchdowns.

Since then, he's bounced around the league playing for the New York Jets (2019-21) and Buffalo Bills (2022).
In March, he signed with the NFC East rival New York Giants, but was part of the team's final roster cuts to shrink to its 53-man roster.
Crowder played in just four games last season after breaking his ankle. He managed to catch just six passes for 60 yards.
Now, Crowder appears to be looking for a final lifeline to keep his NFL career going. He may not be the kind of player he once was during his first Washington stint, but there still could be some gas left in the tank.
Now with the Commanders, he'll provide a veteran presence for a young Sam Howell as he navigates his first season as Washington's starting quarterback.
Crowder is mostly expected to help in the return game, where Washington might benefit with an additional weapon on special teams.
Crowder and the Commanders are hoping to go 2-0 next week when they visit the Denver Broncos. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m.
