Jordan Magee remains on Washington roster as special teams contributor for 2026

The Washington Commanders kept linebacker Jordan Magee on their 53-man roster as the team prepares for the 2026 season opener in Philadelphia. Drafted in the fifth round in 2024, Magee’s trajectory with the team shifted following offseason roster adjustments. Washington signed free agent Leo Chenal and drafted Sonny Styles in the first round, joining Frankie Luvu in the inside linebacker group. After a rookie season shortened by a knee injury and a slow start to his second year, Magee is currently projected to fill a role on special teams units. While he is no longer viewed as the immediate successor to Bobby Wagner, his inclusion on the roster suggests the coaching staff intends to keep him for potential defensive depth throughout the coming schedule. The team will open its season on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday.
