Injuries have riddled the Washington Commanders thus far in 2025, prompting Adam Peters and company to dig deep into the roster for answers at several key positions.
One of those positions has been defensive end. Deatrich Wise Jr. suffered a torn quadriceps in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers. The team signed a familiar face in Preston Smith in response, but he has yet to see the field. Now, 2024 seventh-round pick Javontae Jean-Baptiste has also been placed on injured reserve.
Another new addition could potentially be on the way soon. The Commanders will reportedly be hosting former San Francisco 49ers edge rusher Drake Jackson, who missed all of the 2024 season with a torn patellar tendon.
