Bobby McCain: Time up in Washington
Rotowire
The Commanders plan to release McCain on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Though Washington will be losing a starting defensive back in McCain, the team is set to save $4.42 million against the cap by letting him go. The 29-year-old posted a career-high 76 tackles across 17 games in 2022, so he should draw a decent amount of interest in free agency.

Commanders' Bobby McCain: Switches from safety to cornerback
Rotowire
McCain appeared in 17 games (16 starts) during the 2022 season and recorded 76 tackles (54 solo).
McCain switched positions from free safety to cornerback midway through the season following an ankle injury suffered by Benjamin St-Juste . While the 29-year-old didn't lead Washington in any statistical category, McCain finished top five in tackles and played 93 percent of the Commanders' snaps. With one year remaining on his contract, it remains to be seen what position the 2015 fifth-round pick will play, as Darrick Forrest seemingly locked himself into the starting free safety job.

Rotowire
McCain (shoulder) stood out as a playmaker during Wednesday's practice, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
McCain moved all around the field Wednesday, logging two big plays in the form of an interception and a spectacular pass breakup. The starting free safety's strong performance in practice is an indication that he's fully put November's shoulder surgery behind him.

Dolphins' Bobby McCain: Picks off Hoyer
Rotowire
McCain racked up three tackles (three solo) and an interception in Sunday's win over the Colts.
McCain was one of three Dolphins to intercept Hoyer on Sunday, when he took an errant pass late in the second quarter that set up a touchdown on the next drive. The 26-year-old hasn't quite proven to be an IDP commodity this season, however, making just 22 tackles (16 solo) and two interceptions in eight games. He'll get a great chance to nab another pass next week against the Bills, as quarterback Josh Allen has already thrown seven interceptions this year.
