Washington Replaces Brailford, Claims Toohill

The Washington Football Team replaced Jordan Brailford who they lost to the Minnesota Vikings earlier this week off of their practice squad with a new defensive end.

Washington has been granted an exemption from the league and will be allowed to carry 54 players while Toohill undergoes the mandated six days of pre-entry COVID-19 testing. https://t.co/ysppcZIKhJ

Casey Toohill, 24, comes across from the Eagles, a seventh-round pick out of Stanford in 2020. He's 6'5" and 255 pounds.

He initially made the Philadelphia 53-man roster but then Washington snatched him up when the Eagles tried to sneak him through waivers.

He was inactive for the Eagles week one loss against Washington but played 20+ snaps in Philadelphia's week two loss before being listed as inactive after that.

Washington and Philadelphia meet again to wrap up the regular season.

Per John Keim of ESPN, Toohill tested very well athletically.

Washington claimed defensive end Casey Toohill off waivers. Philadelphia had cut him Tuesday. According to Next Gen Stats, Toohill received a score of 99 for his athleticism among linebackers at the scouting combine, the same that they gave Clemson... https://t.co/Ub1ADNlmwb

Per Wikipedia: "Toohill started all 12 games as a fifth-year senior at Stanford. He earned second-team All-Pac-12 honors after recording 11.5 tackles for loss, eight sacks, and 60 tackles. In his career, he had 124 tackles (21.5 for loss), 14 sacks, and an interception. Toohill ran the 40-yard dash in 4.62 seconds."

Washington drafted Chase Young and James Smith-Williams in 2020 at defensive end along with keeping David Bada on their practice squad as part of their international pathway program.
