The Washington Commanders have announced they are activating DE Drake Jackson from injured reserve. He hasn’t played since 2023 when he suffered a patellar tendon injury while playing for the 49ers who drafted him in the 2nd round the year before. He had also been listed with a new groin injury since last Thursday. The Commanders opened his 21-day practice window to return from IR when the team was in Spain to play the Dolphins. Dan Quinn talked about him getting into football shape as he returns from an extended absence, and it looks like they’re ready for him to take the next step in his return to football.
The Commanders lost their top three DEs already this season, and have been signing players off the street and moving players around to fill the position. Drake Jackson might not be active this week when Washington visits the Minnesota Vikings, but he would be a welcome new face to the defense that has head coach Dan Quinn calling plays.
