The Washington Commanders announced today that they are elevating DE Joshua Pryor from the practice squad. This is Pryor’s third elevation in a row, and also the last time the team can have him active before they have to sign him to the 53-man roster. Starter James Smith-Williams has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, and he has been ruled out of tomorrow’s home game against the Miami Dolphins.
The Commanders traded starting DEs Chase Young and Montez Sweat at the deadline, and injuries to JSW and Efe Obada have forced them to have Casey Toohill starting with rookies KJ Henry and Andre Jones getting more playing time.
