The Commanders sign a wide receiver to bring the roster to 91 players ahead of the first preseason game

Ron Rivera never misses a chance to take a close look at a player if he thinks that player may be able to help the team, whether it’s now or later.

Next Tuesday (16 August) the Commanders will have to cut 5 players and reduce the 91-man roster to an 86-man roster following the preseason game against the Panthers (Saturday at 1:00 pm).

That gives Washington’s newest wide receiver, Matt Cole, five days to establish himself on the roster before the hard decisions start.

Cole is 25 years old, 5’10” and 190 pounds.
