"There are still seven games left to navigate. Everyone must roll up their sleeves and make the best out of a bad situation. It's not what anyone anticipated, but the Commanders have to keep plowing forward amid the ongoing turmoil. But amid all the doom and gloom, a positive emerged. And it has the scope to change everything as Quinn takes over defensive play-calling responsibilities from Joe Whitt Jr."
"The Commanders confirmed that they have activated Will Harris' 21-day return window. It's unlikely he will feature against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11, but getting the veteran safety back into the fold after Washington's bye week seems like a realistic objective now. That is somewhat surprising, especially considering most fans thought the free-agent signing might be done for the season."
"Harris was the man hand-picked by general manager Adam Peters to fill the void left by Jeremy Chinn, who walked in free agency for the Las Vegas Raiders. He was solid if not spectacular, but his momentum came to a halt with a fractured fibula that placed him on injured reserve after just three games. The 2019 third-round pick has been sorely missed."
Washington's season has been defined by persistent injuries that have sidelined established players and strained depth across the roster. Head coach Dan Quinn now assumes defensive play‑calling duties from Joe Whitt Jr., presenting an opportunity to change defensive direction. The team activated Will Harris' 21‑day return window after a fractured fibula ended his early season, making a post‑bye comeback realistic. Harris was signed to replace Jeremy Chinn but missed time after three games. Backup safeties have shown inconsistency, and defensive issues remain: lack of consistent pass rush, poor run defense, and long‑term absences in the cornerback unit.
