Washington Commanders
The Washington Commanders announced they have opened the 21-day practice window for DE Drake Jackson. He was signed on October 15 and was placed on injured reserve the next day. Jackson is returning from a patellar tendon injury in 2023 that required surgery and caused him miss the entire season last year.
Drake Jackson was drafted in the second round in 2022 by the San Francisco 49ers. The former USC defensive end is coming to the right place if he wants an opportunity to get some playing time. The Commanders have already placed three DEs on injured reserve including Week...

With the news of Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn taking over defensive playcalling duties from Joe Whitt Jr., many around the league are now asking if this move is coming too late in the year for a team with such lofty expectations heading into this season. At 3-7, Washington has now lost four consecutive games by a margin of at least 21 points, tying a record going back to the 2002 Arizona Cardinals.
While Quinn remained adamant earlier this season about his involvement in the defense, the playcalling on game days was ultimately Joe Whitt’s job up until Quinn...

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Washington Commanders fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Today, we have two simple binary questions in the Reacts survey.
The first is our standard question that is posed every week of the season (until late-November, anyway), asking about your confidence in the team’s direction.
Our second question asks who will win the Washington-Miami game on Sunday in Madrid.

The Washington Commanders held their first practice of the week in Spain as they prepare to host the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Dan Quinn talked to reporters earlier, and discussed some of the injuries the team has been dealing with. CB Trey Amos was placed on injured reserve yesterday, with WRs Robbie Chosen and Jacoby Jones getting signed from the practice squad. Washington got some positive injury news, activating the 21-day practice window for S Will Harris. WRs Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown were also at practice today.
Four players didn’t travel to Spain as they deal with injuries. QB...

Washington Head Coach Dan Quinn has taken over the role of defensive coordinator moving forward. Quinn’s decision to demote Joe Whitt Jr. and take control of the defense comes at an interesting time. Some believe that Quinn took too long to address the defensive issues; however, this could be a defining period of time for several aspects of that unit. Odds are, a change earlier in the season wouldn’t have amounted to a drastic turnaround; the players still had their individual struggles despite the coaching flaws. Where Quinn can make a difference comes in player development. How Quinn communicates with...

Dan Quinn spoke to the media before the Commanders’ first practice in Spain. They will use Real Madrid’s practice facilities this week, but also had workouts at the facilities of the European Football League’s Madrid Bravos. The team held a light practice/walkthrough after he spoke to the media.
Several injured players are with the team in Spain as they prepare to return this season. The Commanders announced this morning that they have opened the 21-day practice window for S Will Harris to return from injured reserve. He suffered a broken fibula in Week 3, but was expected to return later...

A to Z Sports
One of the biggest matchups for the Commanders was making sure Lions’ star defender Aidan Hutchinson stayed out of the backfield, which nobody has been able to do this season. Veteran left tackle Laremy Tunsil has been dominant all season, while rookie right tackle Josh Conerly Jr. has had a roller coaster season as expected. This was a matchup for both of them to show their ceiling, and that’s what they did.
Tunsil had...

At 3–7 through 10 weeks, the Commanders find themselves in familiar territory — searching for answers and building blocks for the future.
And while there’s optimism around Jayden Daniels, elsewhere, the roster remains riddled with holes on both sides of the ball.
The Commanders currently hold just six picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, and if they want to accelerate their path back to relevancy, they’ll need to make every one of them count — or perhaps trade back to stockpile more capital.
Adam Peters’ early draft classes have produced mixed results beyond Daniels, and this upcoming cycle offers another...

The Washington Commanders announced five roster moves as they get settled in for their extended stay in Spain. They are playing the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, and have been dealing with new injuries every week. Rookie CB Trey Amos suffered a fractured fibula, and has been placed on injured reserve, ending his season. The Commanders recently placed veteran CB Marshon Lattimore on IR after he tore his ACL. The defense continues to get thinner due to injury.
The Commanders didn’t sign any defensive backs today, but they did sign a pair of WRs from the practice squad. Robbie Chosen has...

Washington Post (paywall)
The fuzzy feelings have faded fast following the remarkable run last winter. This season, Washington has reverted to one of the NFL’s worst teams.
There were still several minutes left in the third quarter Sunday night when fans in burgundy-and-gold jerseys began shuffling toward the exits at Northwest Stadium, trying to avoid the traffic, beat the rain or perhaps simply forget about the game they were watching. By the early part of the fourth quarter, Gate A had become downright congested....
