As has become customary, the Washington Commanders made a roster move Saturday.
This time, in preparation for their Week 16 NFC East showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Commanders made two decisions ahead of tomorrow’s game at Northwest Stadium in Landover.
The roster move was DT Carl Davis’s elevation to the active roster from the practice squad. This is the third consecutive game the Commanders have elevated Davis from the practice squad. The two previous times, he played against the Titans and Saints.
In the last two games with Davis elevated to the roster, DT Phidarian Mathis has been a healthy scratch, being declared inactive both times. In the next week, the Commanders will need to determine if they will sign Davis to the roster or possibly bring Jonathan Allen back from the injured reserve list. Either could also involve a move with Mathis.
Secondly, the Commanders have decided that Zane Gonzalez will be the kicker on Sunday. The team did not elevate fellow kicker Greg Joseph, who kicked in the Saints game while Gonzalez was nursing his injured foot.
Gonzalez had already been signed to the 53-man roster following the Titans game, therefore, though the Commanders have made the decision to go with Gonzalez as their kicker against the Eagles, no actual roster move was made, other than the decision to have Joseph remain on the practice squad.
