The Washington Commanders completed the preseason Saturday with a 31-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Washington went winless in the preseason, losing all three games by a combined 70 points. It’s the preseason, and several of Washington’s top players didn’t even play. Star quarterback Jayden Daniels only played one series and led the Commanders to a touchdown after four plays.

With the preseason out of the way, next up is cutdown day. Every NFL team must trim its roster from 90 players to 53 by 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Then, teams can begin assembling their practice squads, which often consist of re-signing several players who were cut.

For the most part, Washington’s roster was set ahead of Saturday’s game. There were still some spots up for grabs, and it will come down to head coach Dan Quinn and GM Adam Peters deciding whether to keep three quarterbacks, 10 offensive linemen, six receivers, or six linebackers, among other positions.

Not much has changed for us since our most recent 53-man roster projection before training camp.

Will Washington keep three quarterbacks? What about 10 offensive linemen? Here’s our latest 53-man roster projection ahead of roster cutdown day.

Quarterback (2)Jayden DanielsMarcus Mariota

Neither Josh Johnson nor Sam Hartman played their way onto the 53-man roster. There’s a good chance they could sign either or both to the practice squad. Or, Washington could look for a third quarterback elsewhere. If Marcus Mariota hadn’t been dealing with a nagging injury, keeping two and putting someone on the practice squad made sense. However, not knowing if the injury will linger, the Commanders may want to keep a third quarterback on the roster.

Running back (4)Chris Rodriguez Jr.Austin EkelerJacory Croskey-MerrittJeremy McNichols

Big change here. Brian Robinson Jr. is already gone. Chris Rodriguez Jr. will now make the 53-man roster and could assume short-yardage duties. Rodriguez looked great this summer, completely reshaping his body and earning praise from the coaching staff. Ekeler will remain Washington’s pass-catching back/third-down back; the rookie, Croskey-Merritt, will eventually carve out a role. McNichols is the jack-of-all-trades that the coaching staff can rely on to fill in anywhere.

Wide receiver (6)Terry McLaurinDeebo SamuelLuke McCaffreyJaylin LaneNoah BrownK.J. Osborn

The Terry McLaurin saga continues, but he’ll be in the lineup for Week 1. We aren’t sure six receivers deserve to make the roster, but they will. For now, we are going with K.J. Osborn as the sixth receiver because of his versatility. Once final cuts are in, don’t be surprised if Washington makes another move here. That’s what happened last year with Noah Brown.

Tight end (4)Zach ErtzJohn BatesBen SinnottColson Yankoff

No changes here. Yankoff flashed on offense with a big play against the Ravens. He has upside. For now, he’s terrific on special teams. Ertz and Bates should be considered co-starters. The Commanders are still waiting on Sinnott to break through. In fairness to him, he’s behind two excellent players.

Offensive linemen (9)Laremy TunsilJosh Conerly Jr.Tyler BiadaszBrandon ColemanNick AllegrettiAndrew WylieMichael DeiterChris PaulGeorge Fant

The top six, essentially the top seven, are set. Tunsil, Conerly, Biadasz, Coleman, and Sam Cosmi (he will likely begin the season on the PUP list) are the likely starting five, with Wylie and Allegretti as the top reserves. The Commanders keep Deiter here because he’s their second-best center, almost by default. Otherwise, we’d have him off the roster. Paul has had an excellent camp and preseason. In our projection, we have George Fant beating out Trent Scott. The Commanders didn’t sign the longtime veteran starter Fant for nothing. He’s making the team. Wylie can play four spots.

EDGE/Defensive end (6)Von MillerDorance ArmstrongClelin FerrellJavontae Jean-BaptisteJacob MartinDeatrich Wise

No changes here either. We were close to leaving Ferrell off for Jalyn Holmes. Holmes can play inside or outside. Ferrell was playing late in the final two preseason games. Does that mean the coaches are disappointed in him? Armstrong, Martin and Wise all had good training camps.

Defensive tackle (4)Daron PayneJavon KinlawJer’Zhan NewtonEddie Goldman

We didn’t see a lot of Payne and Kinlaw in the preseason. The Commanders believe they’ll be much better against the run for a variety of reasons. Newton had some nice moments in training camp, including the first preseason game, but we haven’t seen much since. This is a big year for the 2024 second-round pick. We have Eddie Goldman taking the final spot as Washington looks to keep Carl Davis and/or Sheldon Day on the practice squad.

Linebacker (5)Bobby WagnerFrankie LuvuJordan MageeNick Bellore (special teams)Kain Medrano (R)

We were so close to taking one less defensive lineman and adding Ale Kaho. Kaho, an undrafted rookie from UCLA, outperformed his college teammate, Medrano, a draft pick, this summer. That’s not to say Medrano was bad. He wasn’t. There are rough edges to his game, but his size/speed combo and special-teams ability give him the nod. Kaho is a prime candidate for the practice squad.

Cornerback (5)Marshon LattimoreMike SainristilJonathan JonesTrey AmosNoah Igbinoghene

This hasn’t changed. There is a lot of excitement about this group. Marshon Lattimore looks healthy and rejuvenated, while Amos looks like a future long-term starter. Sainristil is a future Pro Bowler, while Jones is a steady and versatile veteran. Igbinoghene revived his career with the Commanders last season and can play inside or outside—a solid group. I would expect Washington to keep a veteran or two on the practice squad, too.

Safety (5)Quan MartinWill HarrisPercy ButlerJeremy ReavesTyler Owens

Another group that hasn’t changed. Martin is on the verge of stardom, while Harris had a solid camp. Reaves, a special teams star, will play more on defense this season. Butler will also play on defense, while he and Owens will be two of Washington’s top special teamers. Keep an eye on veteran Daryl Worley. He signed late, played well in the final preseason game, and offers versatility to play corner or safety. He’s an ideal practice squad candidate.

Special teams (3)K Matt GayP Tress WayLS Tyler Ott

This group is safe, although Gay didn’t necessarily inspire confidence this summer. Washington had a merry-go-round at kicker last season and hoped to avoid that by signing Gay to a one-year deal. He missed two of four field-goal attempts in the preseason. Dan Quinn stood by Gay and insisted there would be no competition.
