The Washington Commanders added veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs to the roster during training camp ahead of the 2026 season. The team looks to improve a passing attack that recorded the 24th most total yards in the league last year. General manager Adam Peters prioritized defensive improvements earlier in the offseason before addressing the offense with the addition of Diggs. The receiver joins a core that includes Terry McLaurin, rookie Antonio Williams, and tight end Chig Okonkwo to support quarterback Jayden Daniels. Injuries hampered the offense throughout the previous season, and the team now aims to stabilize the unit to improve overall performance. The Commanders enter the regular season with expectations to utilize these new personnel pieces to challenge opposing defenses.
