Washington Commanders Announce Series of Roster Moves
The Washington Commanders gave their players the day off on Wednesday but the team was very active making a series of roster moves as they continue to look for ways to craft a winning roster in 2024.
Coming to the Commanders is kicker Riley Patterson and wide receiver Byron Pringle.
Departing the Washington roster are wide receivers Dax Milne and Damiere Byrd.

Pringle, who turns 31 years old in November, returns to the Commanders after spending 2023 season with the team. While the receiver spent 2022 with the Chicago Bears he was with the Kansas City Chiefs the three years prior and was thought to be a part of former assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy’s transference of that offensive success to Washington.
Patterson was claimed off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars and had connections to Commanders assistant general manager Lance Newmark after playing for the Detroit Lions in 2023 and 2021. He made 88 percent of his kicks with the Lions last season and his only kick as part of the Cleveland Browns roster in the same season.
Byrd was an offseason addition and part of the roster overhaul spearheaded by general manager Adam Peters but had failed to impress during training camp thus far. With Washington looking to maximize competition throughout the preseason they’ll turn to Pringle who could provide more explosive potential in offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury’s system this year.
Milne was a 7th-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and is just the latest player from the former regime to be sent out in favor of a new player brought in by the revamped front office.

What is the Farmer’s Almanac fall forecast for the Washington DC area?
See what a ‘super’ El Niño could bring
USA TODAY Network reporter Brandi D. Addison breaks down what a strong El Niño could mean for weather patterns across the country.
It may be the middle of July, but the Old Farmer’s Almanac is already looking ahead to the fall with cooler temperatures ahead.
The Almanac, which has been one of the most trusted weather prediction sources for more than two centuries, recently released its fall forecast, showing a wide range of weather throughout the United States.
But what about in the Washington DC region? Here’s what the Almanac says.
What is the fall weather forecast in the Washington DC area?
DC sits along the Almanac’s Atlantic Corridor, and that region should expect a “cool, dry” fall, according to the forecast.
“Expect cooler and wetter conditions than usual this fall,” the Old Farmer’s Almanac says. “Below average temperatures are forecast, along with an uptick in precipitation over traditional averages.”
Last year, DC received 6.53 inches of rain during September, October and November — significantly lower than the city’s 30-year average of 10.50 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
September’s average temperature was 72.2 degrees, with October at 60.3 and November at 49.9 degrees. The season had an average temperature of 60.8 degrees, slightly below the 30-year average of 61.0 degrees.
What does the Farmer’s Almanac say about winter in Washington DC?
In its long-range forecast, the Almanac forecasts above average temperatures this winter in DC with snowfall below normal.
“The coldest periods will occur in mid- to late-December and early and late January,” it says. “The snowiest periods will be in late December, early January, and late February.”
The Old Farmer’s Almanac says it is 80% accurate, but a 2017 University of Illinois study found it to be just 52% accurate.
