The Commanders waived Toney on Monday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Toney was reinstated by the NFL this past Thursday after having served a suspension for violating the league's policy on gambling. The 2021 seventh-round pick, who last played during the 2022 season, now will look to catch on elsewhere as a depth defensive end.

Rotowire
The NFL reinstated Toney from suspension Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Toney missed all of the Commanders' 2023 campaign after getting suspending for violating the NFL's gambling policy, but he's now been reinstated. Across his 26 appearances with Washington from 2021-2022, the 26-year-old defensive end recorded 16 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks. He's now expected to compete for a rotational role on the Commanders' defensive line as the offseason progresses.

Football Team's Shaka Toney: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Toney (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Packers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Toney was a late add to the injury report Friday and will not be available for Week 7. The rookie seventh-round pick has only appeared in one game this season and hasn't recorded any stats, so his absence shouldn't affect Washington's defensive rotations.
