This season, several NFL players with ties to Virginia have made notable contributions to their teams. Players like Joey Blount of the Arizona Cardinals and Tremaine Edmunds of the Chicago Bears have seen varying levels of action, with some starting games and others primarily contributing on special teams.

In addition, several players are currently on injured reserve or have not yet appeared in games, such as Hendon Hooker of the Detroit Lions and Dalton Keene of the Houston Texans. Overall, the impact of these Virginia-connected players is being closely monitored as the season progresses.

The Washington Commanders have wrapped up their initial 53-man roster, with defensive lineman John Ridgeway making the cut and tight end Cole Turner being waived.

Other notable releases included wide receivers Martavis Bryant, Sam Hartman, and Trace McSorley among many others.

Injuries have also impacted the team, with several players placed on injured reserve and the PUP list.
