The Washington Commanders are advertising a full house for the season opener against the Arizona Cardinals and have released standing room only tickets on the 400 level.

Commanders tickets also available from @Stubhub: https://t.co/P14SCEXXMw pic.twitter.com/DlGNphz55M

Jason Wright, talking on 106.7 The Fan, said the last time they had a legit sellout at FedEx was roughly a decade ago. They sold out for the Eagles game last year, but it mostly Eagles fans.

“I played for the Cardinals. They don’t actually have fans that travel. So this is us.”

Out of 851 players cut yesterday as identified by OTC, only 24 were claimed off waivers. That’s 2.82%.

A regular lesson for fans to learn when they’re worried about their favorite fringe roster players on their favorite team being lost to waivers is just how rare it happens.

Pretty surprised Kendall Smith (S) hasn’t been signed back to Washington’s practice squad.

— KyleSmith4GM (@Smith4Gm) August 30, 2023

A slew of veteran TEs with pelts on the wall have been released. You can’t convince me one of these guys wouldn’t make sense as the new 4th option.

Dan Arnold
Zach Gentry
Jace Sternberger
Devin Asiasi
Ricky Seals-Jones
Kendall Blanton
Tyler Kroft
Anthony Firkser
Nick Vannett

TE Logan Thomas said he has no more restrictions. Feels really good. Certainly sounds good for week 1

— John Keim (@john_keim) August 30, 2023

Logan Thomas said he has no limitations with the calf. Would have been on a ramped up rehab pace if regular season. Sounds like a guy who thinks he’s trending for Week 1.

Idk what Washington’s plans are for Jabril Cox or how long they’ll keep him on the PS. Thought they needed to do some LB scouting over the last couple days because its time to start thinking contingency plans in case Cody Barton isn’t it. Which, for me, is a real concern.

Ron Rivera on Jabril Cox. He said they liked his skill set coming out of college. Now it’s a matter of learning this system.

Jason Wright told JP and BMitch on 106.7 The Fan today that changing the name back to the Redskins is not being considered. “Period”. So with that, it’s time to move on. Let’s enjoy the season and the Commanders. #HTTC

Number of games recent Commanders’ 2nd-rounders have played for the club:

2022: Phil Mathis – 1
2021: Sam Cosmi – 23 (15 starts)
2020: no pick
2019: no pick
2018: Derrius Guice – 5 (1 start)
2017: Ryan Anderson – 52 (4 starts)
2016: Su’a Cravens – 11 (3 starts)

Brutal stretch. https://t.co/CU9Bm2qWRw

Commanders rookie RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. has made the team.

Look at this answer.

Once he found he told me, “I texted my fiance to give her a quick, “hey, I made it.” It’s a relief of stress. We just had our stuff moved here. We’re here and hopefully I’m here to stay.” pic.twitter.com/rAwdQheoCu

— Scott Abraham (@Scott7news) August 30, 2023

Cardinals TE Zach Ertz told reporters today he isn’t a lock to play in Week 1 against the Commanders. He is probably Arizona’s best skill position option.

The Commanders reeeeeeeally need to make sure they start 1-0.

Have to think Jabril Cox took 1 look at the Commanders LB depth chart and thought Washington offers the best chance at playing time pic.twitter.com/H0TM9fhQY5

Rivera on Jabril Cox: “He’s a physical specimen, a young guy that can run and make an impact. He’ll have to learn and grow but the skillset is looking for as far as that position is concerned. A guy we really liked [in] the draft that year.”

Many people don’t believe that just seven years ago there was a hill in CF in Houston with a 30° incline and a freaking flagpole on top of it (on the field and in play!) but there is video evidence. pic.twitter.com/089RT9w8dl
