The Washington Commanders‘ 2025 regular season was a bust the first time Jayden Daniels got injured in mid-September. He may not have left the game against the Green Bay Packers, but that was the beginning of the end for the Commanders.
Unfortunately, their season was plagued by injuries on both sides of the ball, and winning games when a big part of your team is on the sideline is a tall task for any team. It wasn’t all bad, though, as we got to see the rise of Jacory Croskey-Merritt and the return of Terry McLaurin. The additions of Laremy Tunsil and Deebo Samuel proved to be good decisions, and Bobby Wagner rose to the occasion when Dorance Armstrong was placed on injured reserve, leading the defense with 162 tackles.
Let’s take a look at the 15 highest graded Commanders’ players from the 2025 season, as graded by Pro Football Focus.
