Commanders sign Isaac Yiadom, release Ricky Barber Jr. ahead of Cowboys matchup

The Washington Commanders signed veteran cornerback Isaac Yiadom from the practice squad on September 18, 2026, in preparation for their upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys. This move comes as Trey Amos is expected to miss at least the first four weeks of the season due to injury. Yiadom, who has played 118 NFL games since being drafted in 2018, replaces Ricky Barber Jr., a second-year defensive tackle released to create roster space. Barber, an undrafted free agent in 2025, did not play in Week 1 and may return to the practice squad if he clears waivers.
