Commanders Made Six Roster Moves

In addition, the Commanders are signing veteran offensive linemen Daniel Brunskill and Nicholas Petit-Frere.

Corresponding moves include the team releasing WR Chris Hilton Jr. and G Timothy McKay, while also placing DT D.J. Davidson on the reserve/retired list.

Scharping, 29, was drafted by the Texans in the second round out of Northern Illinois in 2019. He was in the final year of a four-year, $5 million rookie deal that included $2.9 million guaranteed when the Texans waived him coming out of the preseason. 

He was claimed by the Bengals and finished out the remainder of his deal. Cincinnati re-signed him to a one-year deal for the 2023 season. 

Scharping played out his deal with Cincinnati and signed a one-year deal with the Eagles in 2024. However, he was cut coming out of the preseason and landed with Washington. After a stint on Washington’s practice squad, he was signed away by the Steelers to their active roster. 

Pittsburgh brought Scharping back on a one-year deal for the 2025 season, but he suffered a torn ACL in September and missed the entire season. 

In 2024, Scharping appeared in two games for the Steelers with no starts.
