The Washington Commanders are dealing with some significant injury issues right now. One of those is defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr., who has been ruled out for the entire campaign with a quad issue that requires surgery.
This puts the Commanders in a hole. Their edge options were already thin on the ground before this discouraging development. Now, general manager Adam Peters needs to find alternatives.
And one of the biggest names remaining on the market is no longer a possibility.
It didn't take long for Jadeveon Clowney's name to come up in speculation.
