The Washington Commanders are releasing defensive end Clelin Ferrell, Last Man Standig reported on Tuesday.

The fourth overall pick of the then-Oakland Raiders in the 2019 NFL Draft, Ferrell recorded 26 tackles and a forced fumble while starting 10 of the 14 games in which he played last season for the Commanders.

Ferrell, 28, will become an unrestricted free agent when he is released.

NFL teams are required to reach the NFL regular-season roster limit of 53 players on the active roster Tuesday. Most started training camp with the maximum offseason limit of 90-man rosters.
