"The Washington Commanders are in the midst of the worst injury run any fan can remember this season. Head coach Dan Quinn's squad has plummeted, and injuries have decimated almost every position group. It's not an excuse, but it's a significant reason why they haven't come close to matching the meteoric heights of 2024. Quinn is trying to make the adjustments needed to improve. Things are complex, and any hope of attaining the playoffs is long gone."
"The Commanders have also opened the 21-day return window for defensive end Drake Jackson. He's missed the entire campaign through injury, and the San Francisco 49ers were tired of waiting. Adam Peters, who was with the NFC West club when the second-round pick was drafted, felt there was something worth salvaging. But immediately after he opted to sign, the former USC standout was stashed on injured reserve to continue his recovery."
The Washington Commanders are experiencing a severe injury crisis that has decimated nearly every position group and destroyed realistic playoff hopes. Head coach Dan Quinn is making adjustments, but the team has plummeted compared with 2024. The team opened 21-day return windows for Will Harris and Drake Jackson while Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown work back from long-term absences. Jackson missed the season after a torn patellar tendon and was signed following his time with the 49ers. Managed reps will be necessary, but Jackson could provide immediate pass-rush help and a late-season spark.
