5 wide receivers Commanders must consider signing after Week 10 miscues

The Washington Commanders came unstuck late in their Week 10 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This was thanks in no small part to execution issues on both sides of the football.

Washington's defense couldn't get a crucial stop when they needed it and a lapse in concentration on fourth down cemented the defeat. The same occurred on offense, with quarterback Jayden Daniels suffering from miscues with his prominent weapons in the passing game.

Luke McCaffrey, Noah Brown, Olamide Zaccheaus, Zach Ertz, and even Terry McLaurin all dropped catchable balls. The Commanders can get away with things like this versus inferior opposition. They won't be so lucky in the postseason.

And make no mistake, that's exactly where the Commanders expect to be after a memorable start to the campaign that sees them at 7-3 through 10 weeks.

General manager Adam Peters reportedly tried to find wide receiver help before the trade deadline to no avail. That leaves the prospect of looking at remaining free agents or which practice squad players around the league could fit into their plans quickly.

The Commanders might be confident in what they have. If not, here are five wide receivers they should consider signing for the business end of the campaign.

Wide receivers the Commanders could sign after Week 10 miscues

Commanders could sign Andre Baccellia

• Arizona Cardinals practice squad

Anyone who comes in needs to fit into offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury's strategy immediately. That could lead the Washington Commanders to someone already familiar with the progressive play-caller if those in power decide additional reinforcements are needed.

Andre Baccellia spent time with Kingsbury on the Arizona Cardinals in 2022 and even got some involvement on the offensive rotation as a rookie. He's still on the team's practice squad, which makes him available for any team willing to sign him onto their 53-man roster.

This might not be something the Commanders legitimately consider when push comes to shove. Washington could also look for a proven commodity rather than scheme familiarity. There's just no telling for sure if this scenario comes to fruition.

Baccellia's sample size at the next level is too small despite an encouraging college career with the Washington Huskies. But if the player gets a seal of approval from Kingsbury, it couldn't be completely dismissed.
