Sam Hartman: Signed to Commanders' PS
The Commanders signed Hartman to the practice squad Monday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.
Hartman went undrafted in 2024, and while he has remained affiliated with the Commanders since then, he has mostly been relegated to the practice squad. There's a chance the 27-year-old could be elevated during the 2026 campaign, though he still likely wouldn't see any action.

Sam Hartman: Let go by Washington
The Commanders waived Hartman on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
Hartman has evidently lost the backup quarterback battle to Marcus Mariota and seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis. The 27-year-old will now be subject to waivers. If Hartman goes unclaimed, the Commanders would like to have the quarterback back with the team on the practice squad.

Commanders' Sam Hartman: Chance to be QB2 sans Mariota
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday that Marcus Mariota has been diagnosed with a sprained MCL in his right knee, which puts Hartman in position to be the Commanders' backup quarterback for the rest of the preseason.
Mariota picked up the injury during the Commanders' 20-7 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday, and follow-up tests confirmed a sprained MCL. Hartman didn't have the best performance in the Commanders' preseason opener, completing eight of 15 passes for 80 yards and an interception while turning three carries into 13 yards. Given that he's been Washington's emergency QB3 since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in April 2024, Hartman figures to be ahead of Athan Kaliakmanis to be the team's backup quarterback behind Jayden Daniels while Mariota is sidelined, though the Commanders may bring in a veteran quarterback to compete for the QB2 job.

Commanders' Sam Hartman: Emergency QB versus Philadelphia
Hartman (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Commanders' emergency third quarterback Sunday versus the Eagles.
Hartman will once again operate as the team's No. 3 option at QB, a role he's become rather accustomed to this season. Josh Johnson will serve as the starting quarterback while Jeff Driskel gets the nod at backup against Philadelphia.

Commanders' Sam Hartman: Operating as No. 3 QB
Hartman is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cowboys but will act as Washington's emergency No. 3 quarterback.
Hartman will only be eligible to suit up versus Dallas on Thursday if both Josh Johnson and Jeff Driskel are forced out of the Christmas Day contest. His opportunity to handle the emergency role comes with Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Marcus Mariota (hand) both already ruled out. Hartman is still vying for a chance to make his regular-season debut.

Commanders' Sam Hartman: Signed to Washington's roster
The Commanders signed Hartman from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.
Hartman has been on the Commanders' practice squad since late August after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He has been signed to the active roster to serve as the Commanders' emergency third quarterback behind Josh Johnson and Jeff Driskel for Thursday's game against the Cowboys due to the absences of Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Marcus Mariota (hand). As the emergency QB3, Hartman would be prohibited from playing in Week 17 unless Johnson and Driskel were both to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection. Hartman has not played in a regular-season game since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in April of 2024.

Sam Hartman: Sticking around in Washington
The Commanders signed Hartman to the practice squad Wednesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.
Hartman was unable to beat out veteran Josh Johnson for the QB3 spot on the Commanders' 53-man roster, but the former will stick around as the team's quarterback on the practice squad. Hartman completed 25 of 46 passes for 207 yards and four interceptions while turning six carries into 40 yards across the Commanders' three preseason games.

Sam Hartman: Let go by Washington
Hartman was waived by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.
Hartman saw action in all three of Washington's preseason contests, completing 25 of 46 passes for 207 yards, but he also threw four interceptions. The 26-year-old spent the majority of the 2024 campaign on the Commanders practice squad, and he appears potentially destined to rejoin their practice unit ahead of 2025.
