Commanders Put S Will Harris on IR, Sign Veteran Darnell Savage

The move reshapes a thin safety group now leaning on Jeremy Reaves, Percy Butler and newcomer Darnell Savage.

Overview

  • Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Harris sustained a fractured fibula in Sunday’s 41-24 win over the Raiders.
  • Washington placed Harris on injured reserve, sidelining him at least four games, and Quinn said he hopes Harris could return later this season.
  • Veteran safety Darnell Savage agreed to sign with Washington, his agent said, after visiting the team earlier Monday.
  • Savage, a 2019 first-round pick released by Jacksonville last week after five seasons with Green Bay, brings versatility and familiarity with coaches on staff.
  • With depth tested, Jeremy Reaves, Percy Butler and Tyler Owens are expected to absorb more snaps, as injuries also sidelined Terry McLaurin, Marshon Lattimore and Trey Amos during the game.
