Losing Deatrich Wise Jr. to a season-ending quad injury has to sting from the Washington Commanders' perspective. They were already thin on legitimate options on the defensive edge, so losing one of their most experienced players is a blow that demands a swift response.
Adam Peters needs to examine all available options in pursuit of filling the void. One NFL analyst believes the general manager could potentially steal a viable option from the practice squad of a Super Bowl contender.
The Commanders might run with what they have initially. Jacob Martin and 2024 seventh-rounder Javontae Jean-Baptiste split reps once Wise went out against the Green Bay Packers.
