In a move aimed at creating additional cap space, the Washington Commanders made the decision to release veteran offensive tackle Charles Leno on Friday.
Responding to the news, Leno’s wife, Jen, shared a heartfelt reaction on X, humorously announcing Leno’s new role as a stay-at-home dad. She expressed gratitude to the Washington community for their support over the past three years, particularly during challenging times for their family.
With Leno scheduled to undergo hip surgery next week, Jen humorously acknowledged the busy offseason ahead for her, juggling the responsibilities of caring for three toddlers, managing household pets, and supporting her husband’s recovery.

Despite the uncertainty of finding a new team for the 2024 season, Jen remains unfazed, showing resilience and positivity in the face of change.
Leno, 32, has been a key figure for the Commanders since joining in 2021, starting in 47 games. Previously, he had a notable seven-year stint with the Bears.
While it’s uncertain what Leno’s future holds, his experience and skill set as an offensive tackle may still attract interest in the offseason market, offering him the opportunity to prove his value in another prominent role.
