The Washington Commanders were rocked by the news of Nate Herbig's retirement just a few short days into training camp. They were expecting the offensive lineman to provide valuable depth this season, so it has the scope to expose some slight flaws if injury strikes at any stage.
But as always, Adam Peters reacted to the situation quickly. And he managed to secure a potential replacement for Herbig as the Commanders enjoyed a day off following two padded practices at training camp.
Washington confirmed the signing of Lucas Niang, who'll get the chance to compete for a roster spot in the coming weeks.
