# David Harrison: Harrison gives their initial 53-man roster projection for the Washington Commanders: three quarterbacks including Ethan Kalyak Manus, three running backs, four tight ends, six receivers (leaving off De'Ami Brown and Jaden Bradley), nine offensive linemen with Matt Goldman at center, and a defense of six linebackers but only four cornerbacks. They also project Tunstall and Newton going to IR on Monday with De'Ami Brown and Dietrich Wise re-signed, plus a corner-heavy practice squad. **Claimed:** Aug 28, 2026 **Pundit:** David Harrison — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/david-harrison **Outlet:** Locked On Commanders (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/locked-on-commanders-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdrl.fm/7c3048/lockedon.simplecastaudio.com/dd4ec57b-d2e1-4378-a057-7e7fe1d38252/episodes/da097288-a7c2-4386-bb6a-7a0ceb909688/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=dd4ec57b-d2e1-4378-a057-7e7fe1d38252&awEpisodeId=da097288-a7c2-4386-bb6a-7a0ceb909688&feed=psq7p3Ar 70 checkable claims — 62 roster spot calls, 4 depth chart calls and 4 trade and signing calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 63 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 55 of 70 have settled so far, averaging 92.7 out of 100, against 87.3 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 1. > I am gonna carry three quarterbacks. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jaden Bradley to land on the practice squad** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Jaden Bradley, Washington Commanders - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Jer'Zhan Newton to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Jer'Zhan Newton, Washington Commanders - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **T.J.
