The Washington Commanders cut their roster to 53 players Sunday. As always, it’s important to remember that things will remain in flux the next couple of days when assessing the team.
Left tackle Laremy Tunsil (torn triceps) and defensive tackle Jer’Zhan Newton (torn pectoral) were listed on the active roster but are expected to be placed on injured reserve later this week, according to a person familiar with the situation. That person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal team matters. That will free up two roster spots, one of which is expected to be used on defensive tackle Shy Tuttle, according to a person familiar with the situation.
