Commanders Release Veteran Safety Will Harris as Their Secondary Takes Shape
Washington also signed Carlos "Boogie" Basham, Joshuah Bledsoe and Quindell Johnson as injuries and depth concerns continue to reshape the roster.
On Tuesday, the Washington Commanders released safeties Will Harris and Malik Spencer while signing linebacker Carlos "Boogie" Basham and safeties Joshuah Bledsoe and Quindell Johnson.
Harris's departure follows a difficult preseason where he was relegated to the third-string unit and appeared out of position on a 50-yard touchdown run during Saturday's loss to the Detroit Lions.
Basham, a 2021 second-round pick by the Buffalo Bills, has appeared in 43 games over five NFL seasons. Bledsoe and Johnson both bring recent professional experience from the UFL.
Washington also placed outside linebacker Drake Jackson on the Reserve/Injured List, as head coach Dan Quinn noted the team is working through several injuries while seeking back-end depth improvements.
The Commanders must trim their active roster to 53 players by Sunday, with released players now able to catch on elsewhere before the final deadline.
