For Washington’s commanders, it was imperative this offseason to bring in veteran leaders to help them reshape the team according to the vision they had for it.

With the signing of general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn to lead the Commanders into this new era of DC football, the right people needed to come on board to get the project off to a good start.

Of course, just because the overall goal is team success, members of Washington’s roster also need to aim for certain individual milestones. With several personal milestones within reach, here are some numbers to watch this Sunday.

That’s how many yards tight end Zach Ertz needs to pass Vernon Davis (7,562) for 11th all-time in receiving yards by a tight end in league history, study finds of the NFL.

Ertz also needs just one touchdown reception to tie Ozzie Newsom and Pete Retzlaff with 47. Good for 18th all-time in all-time tight end touchdown receptions.

Defensive tackle Jonathan Allen only needs one sack to reach 40 sacks in his career. Whenever he gets that one, he’ll tie with Brian Orakpo for the sixth-most sacks in franchise history (since 1982, when sacks became an official stat).

Running back Brian Robinson Jr. is one in 10 rushing touchdowns in his career.

Veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner needs just two sacks to reach 35 for his career and the same number of interceptions to reach 15.

Allen’s number of tackles for loss must reach 60 during his career.

That’s also the same number of touchdowns receiver Terry McLaurin needs to reach 30 in his career.

This weekend’s game against the Cardinals is also one of three trips that will require the Commanders to leave the Eastern Time Zone.

The other two come at the end of the season against the New Orleans Saints and the Dallas Cowboys.

Receptions necessary for McLaurin to pass Bobby Mitchell for eighth place in franchise history.

Although it probably won’t happen on Sunday, defensive tackle Daron Payne needs four sacks to break into the top 10 of all Washington defenders in the class.

It won’t happen Sunday night — at least, it’s highly unlikely — but linebacker Frankie Luvu is five sacks away from having 25 in his career.

The number of yards McLaurin needs to reach 5,500 in his career.
