"Deatrich Wise Jr. and breakout star Dorance Armstrong Jr. - the team's starting defensive end tandem - have been ruled out for the season. Javontae Jean-Baptiste is also on injured reserve, leaving the Commanders with Von Miller, Jacob Martin, and Preston Smith as their three options currently. Even Drake Jackson was stashed on injured reserve immediately after signing to continue his recovery from a serious knee problem."
"Peters is an aggressive roster builder, as evidenced by his trades for cornerback Marshon Lattimore, left tackle Laremy Tunsil, and wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. Throwing away more draft picks when Washington is 3-4 with some testing challenges upcoming doesn't seem likely. Still, the front-office leader won't hesitate if he feels like it could benefit the franchise. And the door could have swung open for the Commanders to solve one of their most glaring flaws, both in the short and long term."
"All is not well within the New York Jets right now. They are winless through seven games, and reports suggest the AFC East club could be open to business if suitable trade interest arises. One name coming up in conversations is Jermaine Johnson II, who voiced his displeasure on social media about giving his all without getting much back in return."
General manager Adam Peters took a calculated offseason risk by largely leaving the edge rushing room unchanged. Multiple key defensive ends have been sidelined: Deatrich Wise Jr. and Dorance Armstrong Jr. are out for the season, Javontae Jean-Baptiste is on injured reserve, and Drake Jackson remains on IR while rehabbing a knee. Washington currently has Von Miller, Jacob Martin, and Preston Smith available. The team has not yet offset Armstrong's absence, and insiders now speculate Peters may pursue a trade target. The New York Jets are winless through seven games, and Jermaine Johnson II has signaled frustration publicly.
