Anthony Firkser David Blough Chig Okonkwo

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
