Commanders make several roster moves, including signing 3 O-Linemen
After a busy day on Friday, when Washington officially announced the signing of four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs, the Commanders kicked off Saturday with even more roster moves. Washington officially announced the signing of veteran offensive lineman Max Scharping, which was reported on Friday, but GM Adam Peters wasn't done. The Commanders also signed former Tennessee Titans third-round pick Nicholas Petit-Frere and veteran offensive lineman Daniel Brunskill. Petit-Frere is a 6-foot-5, 316-pound offensive tackle who played collegiately at Ohio State. The 26-year-old spent his first three seasons with the Titans, where he appeared in 34 games and made 28 starts, mostly at right tackle. He was waived in 2025 and signed with the San Francisco 49ers. He was again waived before playing a game in San Francisco and was out of the NFL last season. Brunskill, 32, entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2017. He has spent time with the Falcons, 49ers, Titans and Dolphins. He was released by the Dolphins last summer and did not play in 2025. The 6-foot-5, 300-pound Brunskill has appeared in 108 career NFL games, with 71 starts. He has experience at center and both guard spots. He started 24 games for the Titans in 2023 and 2024. He started 10 games at center for the Titans in 2024. We have made the following roster moves: - Signed C Daniel Brunskill, T Nicholas Petit-Frereand G Max Scharping- Released WR Chris Hilton Jr. and G Timothy McKay- Placed DT D.J. Davidson on the Reserve/Retired List pic.twitter.com/58xxgGWsYp Washington Commanders (@Commanders) August 8, 2026To make room for Scharping, Petit-Frere and Brunskill, the Commanders placed DJ Davidson on the reserve/retired list and waived undrafted rookie wide receiver Chris Hilton Jr. and offensive lineman Timothy McKay. McKay was a priority UDFA in 2025, but was injured last summer. He had worked at guard and taken some snaps at center in this training camp. These moves say more about Washington's concern regarding its offensive line depth, as no starting spots are up for grabs except the battle between Chris Paul and Brandon Coleman at left guard.
