Veteran safety Darnell Savage Jr. has signed with the Washington Commanders, per an official team announcement. The news comes six days following his release from the Jacksonville Jaguars, taking him from afterthought to potential starter for a playoff contender. It's a massive opportunity for him -- one he can't afford to squander.
Washington adds Savage and places offseason free-agent acquisition Will Harris on injured reserve in a corresponding move. The latter will miss at least four games after suffering a fractured fibula in their 41-24 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Life comes at you fast, particularly in the NFL.
