The Washington Commanders' edge-rushing situation became concerning after a preseason loss to the New England Patriots. Key players like Von Miller, Frankie Luvu, Dorance Armstrong Jr., and Javontae Jean-Baptiste missed the game, raising alarm over depth at the position. The team rotated various edge options, such as Jacob Martin and younger players like Andre Jones Jr., but struggled to produce a significant pass rush or stop the run. The only effective pass rush came from interior lineman Johnny Newton's sack, highlighting the pressing need for improvement in edge presence.
The Commanders rotated through several edge options against New England, with Jacob Martin starting opposite Clelin Ferrell and younger players like Andre Jones Jr. getting opportunities.
Commanders' edge-rushing depth remains a potential problem if improvements don't arrive, given the lack of production during the preseason game against the Patriots.
