Fallen Commanders draft pick’s last shot may be over before it begins

The Washington Commanders need some inspiration. This is especially evident in their secondary, which was supposed to be a strength but has quickly become a significant concern through the midseason point.

Things just aren't clicking. The Commanders took some calculated risks in the secondary this offseason, and they haven't paid off as yet. One of those centered on general manager Adam Peters' decision not to bring back safety Darrick Forrest in free agency.

Forrest was once considered a possible long-term piece of the puzzle. His partnership with Kamren Curl on the backend was a rare bright spot amid the doom and gloom under Ron Rivera.
