Commanders Elevate Veteran Defensive Tackle Sheldon Day to 53-Man Roster

The Washington Commanders have officially signed defensive tackle Sheldon Day to their 53-man roster, promoting him from the practice squad. This roster adjustment addresses vacancies created by placing cornerback Marshon Lattimore and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey on injured reserve. Day has appeared in three games this season for the Commanders, contributing eight tackles. He also played in 12 games for the team during the 2024 season. A well-traveled veteran, Day has previously seen action with several NFL teams, including the Vikings, Browns, Colts, 49ers, and Jaguars, bringing considerable experience to Washington's defensive line. The Commanders also filled their practice squad vacancies by signing cornerback Tre Hawkins and safety Daryl Worley.
