# David Harrison: Harrison gives his initial 53-man roster projection for the Washington Commanders: three quarterbacks including Ethan Kalyak Manus, three running backs, four tight ends, six receivers (leaving off De'Ami Brown and Jaden Bradley), nine offensive linemen with Matt Goldman at center, and a defense of six linebackers but only four cornerbacks. He also projects Tunstall and Newton going to IR on Monday with De'Ami Brown and Dietrich Wise re-signed, plus a corner-heavy practice squad. **Claimed:** Aug 28, 2026 **Pundit:** David Harrison — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/david-harrison **Outlet:** Locked On Commanders (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/locked-on-commanders-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdrl.fm/7c3048/lockedon.simplecastaudio.com/dd4ec57b-d2e1-4378-a057-7e7fe1d38252/episodes/da097288-a7c2-4386-bb6a-7a0ceb909688/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=dd4ec57b-d2e1-4378-a057-7e7fe1d38252&awEpisodeId=da097288-a7c2-4386-bb6a-7a0ceb909688&feed=psq7p3Ar 70 checkable claims — 62 roster spot calls, 4 depth chart calls and 4 trade and signing calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
