The Washington Commanders signed Von Miller, a future Pro Football Hall of Fame edge rusher, right before training camp. To accommodate Miller, the team released running back Michael Wiley, who struggled to secure a role on the 53-man roster. Wiley was previously a long shot and impressed the team while predominantly on the practice squad. With other established running backs and limited space, Wiley’s dismissal was expected. Miller is forecasted to enhance the defense significantly, contrasting Wiley's limited potential in comparison.
The Washington Commanders made a significant roster change with the signing of Von Miller, leading to the release of running back Michael Wiley to accommodate the edge rusher's arrival.
