Washington claimed the 24-year-old off waivers from Jacksonville and re-signed veteran wide receiver Byron Pringle
Nicki JhabvalaCoach Dan Quinn has emphasized competition in nearly every facet of the Commanders’ training camp. That now extends to kicker, too.
Patterson, 24, signed with the Minnesota Vikings after going undrafted out of Memphis in 2021 and was later signed to the New England Patriots’ practice squad. The Detroit Lions acquired him midway through the 2021 season, and Patterson made his NFL debut against the Chicago Bears, booting two extra points in a narrow loss. In Week 15, Patterson converted three field goals and three extra points in a win over the Arizona Cardinals to earn NFC special teams player of the week.
Patterson was, coincidentally, replaced in Jacksonville by Brandon McManus, whom Washington signed in March andafter he was accused of sexual assault during his time with the Jaguars. Washington signed Ahmed in June, but with the possibility of bringing on another kicker to create competition for the job. Ahmed appeared solid early in training camp but has struggled with field goals from 50 yards and beyond.“Yeah, I think maybe almost half the league have two into that space,” Quinn said last week. “But that and other positions are still part of the competition."
