Commanders Release First Unofficial Depth Chart for 2026 Season
The Washington Commanders announced their first unofficial depth chart for the 2026 season on Monday, just ahead of their preseason game against the Miami Dolphins. The chart revealed few surprises, notably confirming Sonny Styles' position as a starting linebacker alongside Frankie Luvu, with Leo Chenal and Jordan Magee listed behind them.
On the defensive side, Trey Amos was placed ahead of Rasul Douglas in the secondary, while Jeremy Reaves was named the starting free safety. This positioning is significant as Reaves had previously demonstrated his capabilities in a full-time role last season, earning praise from the coaching staff.
Offensively, the depth chart showed Antonio Williams positioned behind Stefon Diggs and Treylon Burks, which raised some eyebrows, although it remains unofficial. Bill Merritt was noted as the starting running back, and Laremy Tunsil's absence from the left tackle position due to a triceps injury was also acknowledged. Overall, the depth chart reflects the team's direction as they prepare for the preseason amidst considerable roster changes.
