JJB's coming back
The Washington Commanders announced this morning that they are opening the 21-day practice window for DE Javontae Jean-Baptiste. They will have three weeks to get him back on the practice field, and determine if they are activating him back to the 53-man roster, or returning him to injured reserve for the rest of the season. His return will provide the Commanders with more defensive line depth. Washington would need to make another roster move to activate him from injured reserve.
Javontae Jean-Baptiste was drafted in the 7th round this year out of Notre Dame. He was placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury after Washington's Week 6 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Jean-Baptiste was active for all six games, and his snap counts were above 40% for his last two games.
