Who Should I Start? Robbie Chosen or Quintez Cephus

Friday, November 28, 12:06 PM

The Washington Commanders released wide receiver Robbie Chosen on Friday, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. The Commanders added Chosen to their practice squad in mid-November due to injuries to Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Treylon Burks (finger). McLaurin is set to return in Week 13 to face the Denver Broncos on Sunday night, though, and Noah Brown (groin, knee) could also be back from Injured Reserve this weekend, so the Commanders don't have the need for Chosen as WR depth anymore. The 32-year-old veteran appeared in only three games with Washington and caught five of his nine targets for 53 yards and no touchdowns. He will now go back onto the open market as he seeks to latch on with another team as WR depth for the rest of the 2025 season.

Houston Texans wide receiver Quintez Cephus finished the preseason on a high note, catching four of his seven targets for 51 yards and a touchdown against his former team, the Lions. Cephus' six-yard touchdown catch from Graham Mertz put the Texans ahead 16-7 just before halftime, and they went on to win 26-7. The Texans did not play starting quarterback C.J. Stroud or primary backup Davis Mills, but Cephus looked productive playing with rookie Graham Mertz. Cephus was a fifth-round pick of the Lions in 2020 and played three seasons in Detroit. He missed a season due to a suspension for violating the league's gambling policy and has since spent time with the Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, and Texans. He doesn't look likely to end up on the Texans' final roster, but he probably showed enough to get a look from another NFL team or at least end up on a practice squad somewhere.
