Washington have released Everett (undisclosed) with a non-football injury designation, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Everett being cut by the Commanders comes with multiple layers of context. Not only is the team in need of more cap space, but Everett is also injured, and facing offseason legal issues that could impact his availability for 2022, if not his NFL career. It may be multiple months until clarity on Everett's situation arrives.

Everett (personal) was released by the Commanders on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the combination of Washington's need to shed salary cap after the acquisition of Wentz and Everett's offseason legal issues, this move was inevitable. A resolution on whether the 29-year-old safety will be able to resume his football career may not come for several months, so his status for 2022 is certainly in jeopardy.

The Loudoun County (Va.) Magistrate's Office charged Everett on Tuesday with involuntary manslaughter stemming from his involvement in a Dec. 23 car accident, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was charged after the Loudoun County Sheriff's department's investigation determined that he was driving at "over twice the posted 45-mile-per-hour speed limit just prior to the crash," which resulted in the death of his girlfriend, who was a passenger in his vehicle. Everett escaped the accident with non-life-threatening injuries, but still missed Washington's last three games of the season while he was on the non-football injury list. In a statement, his attorney announced that the safety's legal team plans to "vigorously defend Mr. Everett against these allegations," which suggests resolution on whether the 29-year-old safety will be able to resume his football career may not come for several months.

EDGE Analysis

Everett was the driver in a fatal one-car crash that killed the passenger in the vehicle, his 29-year-old girlfriend.

Everett (personal) was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The move comes as little surprise following news that Everett suffered serious injuries in a single-vehicle accident Thursday night. Though the safety's injuries are said to be non-life-threatening, a female passenger in the vehicle did not survive. Given that context, thoughts about Everett's potential return to action should be secondary to the tragic consequences of the accident.

EDGE Analysis

The reserve safety will sit out his first game of the season after he was behind the wheel Thursday in Loudoun County (Va.) in a fatal one-car crash that killed the passenger of his vehicle, a 29-year-old woman, according to John Keim of ESPN.com. Everett, meanwhile, was treated for injuries that are considered serious but non-life-threatening. Authorities are still investigating the circumstances behind the crash, and the Washington organization plans to gather more information on the incident before providing an update on Everett's status.

Everett is "being treated for serious but non-life-threatening injuries" at the hospital following a single vehicle accident Thursday night, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Everett figures to miss some time for Washington due to his injuries but overall appears to be physically stable as the driver of the vehicle. However, the lone passenger tragically passed away after being taken to the hospital.

Everett (undisclosed) is off the non-football injury list and practicing Tuesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Everett has passed his physical and is now eligible to begin getting work in at training camp. Washington may opt to ease the veteran safety back into a full workload, but it looks like there's no reason to be concerned about his status for Week 1.
