"Whether you call it F, flex, or move, the Commanders just added another one to their practice squad. Gee Scott Jr., who played for the national champion Ohio State Buckeyes last year, joined the ranks. He becomes the seventh tight end under contract, spread across the practice squad, injured list, and the 53-man roster. And he continues a rather evident trend that has been in effect ever since Peters arrived."
"The immediate reason for bringing in a player like Scott is injury. Primary tight end Zach Ertz is out for the remainder of the season. Backup Colson Yankoff, one of just three tight ends on the current roster, hurt his ankle last week against the New York Giants and may not be able to suit up this week. Kliff Kingsbury likes using tight ends. As of now, he may have just two ready to go versus the Philadelphia Eagles."
Adam Peters added Gee Scott Jr. to the practice squad as part of forward-looking roster building. The Commanders now have seven tight ends across the practice squad, injured list, and 53-man roster, reflecting a trend toward F (flex/move) tight ends. Injuries prompted the move: primary tight end Zach Ertz is out for the season and backup Colson Yankoff suffered an ankle injury, potentially leaving limited options at the position. Kliff Kingsbury favors using tight ends in his offense. Scott fits the F profile at 6-foot-2 and 238 pounds and transitioned from wide receiver to tight end at Ohio State.
