Former Washington Commanders athletic trainer Ryan Vermillion will avoid jail time in relation to an investigation by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration.

According to A.J. Perez of Front Office Sports, Vermillion will essentially serve a year of probation after a federal judge approved a plea deal Friday. Perez noted that while the exact allegations Perez was facing weren't made public, sources said he illegally provided several Commanders players with opioids.

In October, the DEA raided the Commanders' headquarters and Vermillion's home.
