- 2d ESPN NFL Injury Report Athan Kaliakmanis: Out
- 2d John Keim (X) Washington inactives: DL Javon Kinlaw, DL Daron Payne, QB Athan Kaliakmanis (emergency third QB), CB Isaac Yiadom, CB Fabian Moreau, OL Tanoa Togiai.

The Commanders will have 2 QBs available Sunday: Jayden Daniels and Athan Kaliakmanis.
Marcus Mariota is out with an MCL sprain, and they didn’t sign Sam Hartman to the 53, so he’s not eligible to be their emergency 3rd QB. · Quoting Nicki Jhabvala: The Commanders’ many roster moves:
-Activated DE Deatrich Wise Jr. off PUP list and removed him from the injury report
-Signed LB Austin Keys from the practice squad
- Elevated S Darren Hall and WR Van Jefferson from the practice squad
Downgraded CB Trey Amos (ankle) and RB Jeremy McNichols (quad) to out. (They’re still on IR)
Why it's #2 Out · Jayden Daniels (top-50)

Adam Peters explained this on @JunksRadio this morning, but it's worth repeating:
The inactive/emergency 3rd QB has to be on the 53-man roster. Can't be a P-squad elevation. And he can only come in if the other two QBs are unable to play.
So, the Commanders would have to sign Sam Hartman to the active roster to have him available in case Jayden Daniels and Athan Kaliakmanis go down.

- Aug 30 John Keim (X) The big surprise: G Tanoa Togiai; was a UDFA. Plays with power. Also, kept three QBs with Athan Kaliakmanis. But: If you like the QB, you don't expose to waivers. The key is to be on the 53 on Sept. 9 leading into the opener. As you know, things can still change.
