The Washington Commanders' bye week is finally here, and it couldn't have possibly come at a better time.
After a six-game skid, Washington will be looking to regroup and re-evaluate expectations for the rest of the 2025 season. Playoffs, barring some unforeseen miracle, are out the window. But progress can still be made, especially if star quarterback Jayden Daniels returns to the lineup sooner rather than later.
The objective for the remainder of 2025 will be to provide a proper assessment of the Commanders' first- and second-year players (and one third-year player). Specifically, those who have struggled to make an impact thus far in their NFL careers will need to step up.
