The Washington Commanders signed cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon on Thursday, the latest addition to a defense that was the NFL’s worst last season.
Witherspoon played just six regular-season games and one in the playoffs for the Los Angeles Rams after breaking his left shoulder blade on Sept. 14 and aggravating the injury on Jan. 10. He started all 17 games for them in 2023, when he had three interceptions.
