Who Should I Start? Robbie Chosen or Colton Dowell

Tuesday, September 30, 1:51 PM

The Washington Commanders are signing veteran wide receiver Robbie Chosen to their practice squad on Tuesday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Chosen will give Washington some more receiver depth going into Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers, with both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin, knee) up in the air to play this weekend. The 32-year-old pass-catcher failed to stick around with the San Francisco 49ers despite all their injured bodies, and he might not stick around for long if McLaurin and Brown can return soon. Chosen, a nine-year NFL veteran, has bounced around the league in recent years and has played in only 11 games the last two years with the Miami Dolphins, catching five of 10 targets for 131 yards and one touchdown. Second-year wideout Luke McCaffrey has benefited the most the last two weeks with McLaurin injured.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Colton Dowell (knee) has been taking part in organized team activities this week after missing the entire 2024 campaign following a torn ACL and meniscus in Week 17 of 2023. Dowell was the team's seventh-round selection (228th overall) in the 2023 NFL draft out of UT Martin. He appeared in only 10 games (one start) in his rookie season and hauled in one of his two targets for three yards. Most of his playing time that year came on special teams. Dowell is once again healthy, though, so he'll be gunning for a bigger role on offense heading into the 2025 campaign this fall. He'll be facing an uphill battle to even make the 53-man active roster out of training camp, though, as he's currently buried on the receiver depth chart behind Calvin Ridley, Tyler Lockett, Van Jefferson, Treylon Burks, rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, and James Proche II.
