The Washington Commanders announced on Thursday that they’ve signed defensive end Justin Hollins to their practice squad. Hollins, 28, previously joined the Commanders during training camp but was cut on Aug. 27 after spending eight days with the team. He played in the final preseason game against the New England Patriots, recording a tackle and a quarterback hit.
Originally drafted by the Denver Broncos in the fifth round (No. 156) of the 2019 NFL Draft, Hollins was released in September 2020 and claimed by the Los Angeles Rams the next day. He was part of the Rams’ Super Bowl 56-winning team in 2021 before being released in November 2022. Hollins was then claimed by the Green Bay Packers, where he re-signed for the 2023 season but was released in October.
During the 2023 season, Hollins also signed practice squad deals with the New York Giants and the Los Angeles Chargers.
