Washington Commanders Lose Two Defenders for 2024 NFL Season Due to Injuries
The NFL season is on the horizon. Not only has the bulk of the offseason passed, but both training camp and preseason football have come and gone. Teams are now cutting their rosters down to 53 players as real football will soon be played around the league.
The Washington Commanders have been making roster changes as it’s time for them to release a 53-man roster, which means those dealing with injuries will be put on injured reserve. Commanders defensive end Norell Pollard and defensive tackle Taylor Stallworth were not only added to the injured reserve list but they’re not designated to return and will miss the 2024 NFL season, according to Sam Fortier.

Pollard is an undrafted defensive tackle out of Virginia Tech, where he posted 118 career total tackles, 22 tackles for loss and 12 sacks. The 6-foot, 281-pound defensive end now has his sights set on a return to the gridiron in 2025 with hopes of making his regular season debut.
While Pollard was set for his rookie season, Stallworth is a veteran presence, as a 28-year-old defensive tackle with 58 games under his belt. He, too, will miss the entire season as the two pieces could have provided depth to the defensive line.
Rookie linebacker Jordan Magee was also placed on the injured reserve list, though he is designated return, meaning he will miss at least the first four games of the regular season. The Temple product began to garner quite a bit of hype throughout training camp.
With the Commanders establishing a 53-man roster, the regular season is on the horizon, and Washington can continue to usher in a new era of football as No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels hopes to transform the team’s offense. Brighter days are ahead for the franchise, and watching that potential develop this season will be intruiging.

A 26-year-old man had an argument with a co-worker before allegedly fatally shooting the colleague in Washington Heights, prosecutors said Friday.
Bobby Martin, who was charged with first-degree murder Thursday, made his first appearance Friday in Cook County court.
Martin, is accused of killing his co-worker, Antoine Alexander, 32, in a parking lot at 9411 S Ashland Ave about 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, according to Chicago police.
Prosecutors said Martin and Alexander worked together at an armed security company and got into a verbal altercation inside the guard shack on Tuesday afternoon. During the altercation, prosecutors said Alexander removed his bullet proof vest and threw it to the ground. A witness, another co-worker, then told the defendant and the victim to take the altercation outside.
After stepping outside, the defendant pulled his firearm and fired one shot into the victims abdomen, prosecutors said. The victim’s firearm was holstered at the time of the argument and the shooting. The defendant fled the scene and came into contact with another co-worker, whom he told that he had just shot Alexander.
Alexander was then taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead.
Martin was arrested by authorities three blocks from his home approximately 20 minutes after the shooting, prosecutors said.
Martin was detained and will appear in court again on March 17, authorities said.

Washington Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury has announced that she and her husband Matt are expecting a baby in July.
The couple made the announcement in a video on the Spirit’s social media channels, holding a baby goalkeeper jersey on the pitch at Audi Field.
Kingsbury becomes the most recent Spirit star to go on maternity leave, following defender Casey Krueger, midfielder Andi Sullivan and forward Ashley Hatch.
Sullivan gave birth to daughter Millie in July, while Hatch welcomed her son Leo in January.
Krueger announced she was pregnant with her second child in October.
Kingsbury has served as the Spirit’s starting goalkeeper since 2018, and has been named the NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year twice (2019 and 2021).
The 34-year-old has two caps with the U.S. women’s national team, and was named to the 2023 World Cup roster.
The club captain will leave a major void for the Spirit, who have finished as NWSL runner-up in back-to-back seasons.
Sandy MacIver and Kaylie Collins are expected to compete for the starting role while Kingsbury is on maternity leave.
The Spirit kick off their 2026 campaign on March 13 against the Portland Thorns.
YAKIMA, Wash. — Yakima could soon take a major step toward redesigning Sixth Avenue after the Washington State Public Works Board awarded the city a $985,600 loan.
The loan was approved for the design engineering phase of the Sixth Avenue project. The funding can also be used along Sixth Avenue for utility replacement and updated ADA use.
The Yakima City Council must decide whether to accept the award. If the council accepts it, the city’s engineering work will move forward with the design of Sixth Avenue.
The cost of installing trolley lines is excluded from the plan. The historic trolleys would need to raise the funds required to add trolley lines.
The award is scheduled to be discussed during next week’s City Council meeting.
