We have made the following roster moves: - Signed C Daniel Brunskill, T Nicholas Petit-Frere and G Max Scharping - Rele

What happened: Washington signed center Daniel Brunskill, tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere and guard Max Scharping. The six transactions affect the offensive line, wide receiver and defensive tackle groups.

Why it matters: The additions supply veteran line depth during the preseason. The moves continue Washington's roster reshuffle before the 53-man cut.

By the numbers: Three players signed, two were released and one moved to the Reserve/Retired List.

What to watch: Practice repetitions will show how quickly the new linemen enter the rotation. Further cuts remain possible as Washington sets its regular-season roster.
