Commanders elevate Ricky Barber and Ale Kaho before Cowboys matchup

The Washington Commanders have elevated defensive lineman Ricky Barber and linebacker Ale Kaho from their practice squad in preparation for their Week 2 game against the Dallas Cowboys on September 20, 2026. Barber was re-signed to the practice squad after being released to make space for cornerback Isaac Yiadom. His elevation is especially important as starting lineman Javon Kinlaw is listed as questionable due to a back injury. The Commanders also reported injuries to tight end Chig Okonkwo and Frankie Luvu, who was ruled out. The Cowboys similarly adjusted their roster, elevating linebackers Justin Barron and Curtis Robinson ahead of the game.
