The Washington Commanders are searching for solutions at the tight end position with Zach Ertz out. Ben Sinnott and blocking specialist John Bates will lead the charge. However, those in power also want to see what they may have in a forgotten player who's been an afterthought throughout the campaign.
Heading into Washington's divisional showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles with little much to play for other than pride, this would be a good time for the Commanders to experiment. Injuries are propelling those further down the pecking order into more prominent roles. And with Colson Yankoff becoming the latest to go on the shelf with an ankle problem, it's provided the perfect opportunity to call up Lawrence Cager from the practice squad.
