ASHBURN — One of the feel-good stories of last year’s training camp won’t end the same way this season.
The Washington Commanders placed tight end Sammis Reyes on injured reserve Tuesday, ending his chance of making the team’s initial 53-man roster. A year ago, the Chile native turned heads when he made Washington’s roster despite having never played in an organized football game before that season. Reyes, a former college basketball player turned tight end, signed with Washington out of the NFL’s International Pathway Program (IPP) in April 2021.
Reyes, the first Chilean-born NFL player, landed on the injured list after suffering a hamstring injury in this year’s training camp.
