The Washington Commanders headed into the 2024 offseason intending to reshape the tight end position. Much like the rest of the roster, Washington's tight end position required significant changes.

Rookies, whether drafted or not, who were injured prior to the draft are placed on NFI even if the injury is related to playing or training for college football or preparing for the draft. Players who remain on the NFI list after the league’s final cutdown day at the end of the preseason are required to miss a minimum of four games.
