Would have thought Jags would immediately claim him on waivers.

At this point, Washington must move two more players by 4 p.m. to reach the 53-player roster limit. Those thought to be on the bubble whose status we don't know yet include:

WR/PR DeAndre Carter
LB Jared Norris
DL Shaka Toney (per Keim - he will make the 53-man roster)
TE Ricky Seals-Jones
CB Darryl Roberts

I think Carter is safe as we need someone to return punts and kicks.

It makes sense that with only 3 RBs it was to keep 7 WRs, they must really like Dax Milne and very confident of getting Barber back on the Practice Squad

C Keith Ismael cut per this live tracker

In checking the list, Washington also waived LBs Jared Norris and David Mayo. Both were special teams players mostly. That leaves them with 4 LBs. That's a low figure. Can't imagine it stays that way.

So as far as the 2nd string LBs go it seems Ron and JDR did actually see the same games we were watching.. interesting to see what happens now

Zero chance they get down to four LBs (including one rookie) without having a plan already in motion to add there at the same time. I would expect news soon regarding a LB signing - or two.

I think it speaks volumes to the weakness of the LB group that half were cut. I agree, they have to be bringing in someone, KJ Wright still seems like the obvious target.

Our LB’s were bad last year and our defense was great. Davis is an obvious upgrade. Our secondary is better so that should help. Im not overly worried. It will be addressed this coming off season for sure. Possibly a slight upgrade with someone out there now for this season. WFT wasn’t built in a day.

I dont think Barber is eligible for practice squad is he?

Nevermind i forgot about the covid rules.

I wonder whether Benardrick McKinney and Jordan Hicks are seen as options
