The Washington Commanders cut their roster from 91 players to 53 over the last couple of days, establishing their initial roster for the 2026 season. By "initial," we mean the roster will likely evolve over the next couple of weeks before Washington plays the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1. The next phase of the roster-building process starts after the waiver period expires at 1 p.m. ET Monday afternoon, and teams can then start putting together their practice squads. Washington can carry 16 players on the practice squad, or 17 with an additional International Player Pathway exemption. The table below will be updated as Washington adds players.

This group will remain fluid throughout the year after the initial practice squad is formed. Any player on the list can be released, elevated to the active roster, or signed by another NFL team. We will continue to update the tracker as Washington makes additional practice squad moves.

According to the league's waiver system transactions list, Washington did not claim anyone off waivers, and no one claimed any of the players they released.
