After avoiding it much of last season, the injury bug has bitten the Washington Commanders early in 2025.
While news surrounded the season-ending injuries for both defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. and running back Austin Ekeler, there was another problem. Veteran Jonathan Jones, one of the team's most versatile defensive backs, has been ruled out for at least the next four weeks after being placed on injured reserve.
His absence forces Washington to rely heavily on a mix of established figures, young developing talent, and versatile depth pieces to keep the cornerback room afloat.
