Washington also signed rookie OT and former Howard University standout Anim Dankwah to their practice squad. Talk about huge. The All-MEAC selection is 6-foot-8 and 353 pounds.

Some optimistic data from @PFF on Jayden Daniels’ debut:
Credited with an allowed pressure on 9.1% of dropbacks, which would have been just the 29th-highest rate last year.
16.7% pressure-to-sack rate would have been 13th-best
Only fled a clean pocket 1 out of 22 possible times— Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) September 10, 2024
Scrambled on 6-of-12 pressured dropbacks. That’s an absurdly high rate, but he gained 60 yards and four first downs. “playing the hits” as I like to call it.
Daniels ranked 11th in total pressured dropbacks in Week 1 but led the league in first downs on such dropbacks.

Former Commanders LB Khaleke Hudson is signing with the Browns off the Saints practice squad, source confirms (@MikeGarafolo 1st).
Hudson was someone I thought the new staff would retain. Instead, he lands on the team with former Washington FO executive Chris Polian.
