Cody Latimer, a wide receiver for the Washington Football Team, has been placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List, which will hold him out of team practices going forward.
While on the commissioner’s exempt list, a player is paid as if he were on the active roster, yet he does not count against his team’s 53-man active roster limit. A player on the exempt list is not allowed to practice or attend games, but he is allowed to be present at the facility for meetings, to work out, and to receive treatment.
The incident that led to Latimer being placed on the list came back in May, where he is facing eight charges, four of which are felonies, for a scuffle that broke out during a poker game where a gun was reportedly drawn.
Latimer was signed by Washington earlier this offseason after playing with the New York Giants, and he was expected to step in as a second or third option for QB Dwayne Haskins.
