Sheldon’s back
The Washington Commanders are re-signing DT Sheldon Day, bringing him back for another season. He was signed to the practice squad after roster cut downs, and to the main roster after Jonathan Allen went on injured reserve with a torn pec. Day played in 12 regular season games, and all three playoff games. Washington has added three defensive linemen(Javon Kinlaw, Eddie Goldman, Deatrich Wise), and released Jonathan Allen. Day returns as a depth player with Daron Payne and Jer’Zhan Newton leading the middle of the defensive line.
The #Commanders have agreed to terms with DT Sheldon Day on a one-year deal to keep him in Washington, source says.
Day played a big role for Dan Quinn and Joe Whitt in a defense that was without Jonathan Allen for two months down the stretch. Now back with those guys. pic.twitter.com/6pj98kFj5P
