Commanders Announce Eight Roster Moves

The Commanders announced eight roster moves on Tuesday, including placing safeties Darrick Forrest and Jeremy Reaves on injured reserve.

In additional moves, the team signed S Terrell Burgess and LB De’Jon Harris to their active roster. They also signed three players to their practice squad including S Sean Chandler, S Joshua Kalu, and DE Joshua Pryor.

Washington released S Keidron Smith from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Forrest, 24, was a fifth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Cincinnati. He’s in the third year of a four-year, $3,791,072 rookie contract and is set to earn a base salary of $940,000 this season. 

In 2023, Forrest has appeared in five games and recorded 29 total tackles. 

Reaves, 27, wound up signing on with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent out of South Alabama back in 2018. He agreed to a three-year, $1.71 million contract with the team but was waived coming out of the preseason.

Reaves had been on and off of Washington’s practice squad before playing every game for them in 2022, primarily on special teams, and earning a Pro Bowl nod for the season. 

In 2023, Reaves has appeared in five games for Washington and recorded six total tackles.
