Washington Commanders sign veteran tight end during OTAs
Yahoo Sports NFLSource ↗
The Commanders shuffled their roster a bit heading into the second week of OTAs, adding a veteran tight end to the mix. The position group will be important in David Blough ’s new offense, which will feature multiple tight end sets on a regular basis. Washington added some experience to the group on Tuesday, signing Anthony Firkser to the squad. The Commanders released receiver Ja’Corey Brooks in a corresponding move. Firkser has been in the NFL since 2018, and was a heavily featured player with the Tennessee Titans through 2021. He has bounced around the league since then, with stops in Atlanta , Detroit , the New York Jets and Kansas City , with a return to the Lions in 2025. He’s a versatile player who can block and catch passes in a pinch, and can be a stout special teams player. He joins a position group that includes Chig Okonkwo, John Bates and Ben Sinnott . Those three are expected to make the squad, though a fourth tight end could make an argument for the 53-man roster. Brooks signed with the Commanders as a 2025 undrafted free agent, and spent last year on the practice squad and the practice-squad injured list. He signed a reserve-futures deal with the Commanders this offseason. The Commanders are conducting their second week of OTA practices from Tuesday-Thursday

Ja'Corey Brooks - Done with Commanders
sleeper-rotowireSource unavailable
Washington cut Brooks on Tuesday. Brooks made his NFL debut with the Commanders as an undrafted rookie in 2025, playing seven offensive snaps in Week 6 versus the Bears. Now, he'll become a free agent again and seek another opportunity with a different club

Ja'Corey Brooks - Sticking around Washington
sleeper-rotowireSource unavailable
The Commanders signed Brooks (undisclosed) to a reserve/future contract Monday. Brooks will stick around Washington after spending the 2025 campaign as a member of the practice squad, appearing in the team's Week 6 loss to the Bears, failing to record any stats over seven offensive snaps. The wide receiver also ended the year on the team's practice squad injured list with an undisclosed injury, but he now appears to be healthy ahead of the offseason. With the new deal, Brooks will get the chance to train with the Commanders during the team's offseason activities prior to the 2026 season

Ja'Corey Brooks - Placed on injured list
sleeper-rotowireSource unavailable
The Commanders placed Brooks (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Saturday. Brooks will now be forced to miss at least four games before he is eligible to return. The 24-year-old played just seven offensive snaps and didn't record any stats during his lone appearance this season
analyst
Ja'Corey Brooks - Back to practice squad
sleeper-rotowireSource unavailable
Brooks reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Tuesday. Brooks was elevated for Monday's loss to the Bears to provide depth at receiver. He played seven offensive snaps in the loss but didn't record a target. With Washington having placed Noah Brown (groin/knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, the team could again end up elevating at least one of Brooks or Tay Martin from the practice squad for Sunday's road matchup against the Cowboys in Week 7
