Defensive end Drake Jackson was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hogshaven.com\/382711\/update-washington-commanders-sign-former-49ers-2nd-round-pick\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">signed mid-October last year<\/a>, but didn\u2019t play until Week 16 due to the knee injury he suffered in\u20262023. He was a 2022 2nd-round draft pick by the San Francisco 49ers, but a major knee injury kept him off the field until Washington gave him a chance to finish his recovery while, preparing his return. Jackson played in the final three games of the season and had 3 tackles in 61 snaps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Re-signing Jackson puts him back in the rotation with another year removed from his devastating injury. He returns to a team with a new defensive coordinator in Daronte Jones, and an old need at defensive end. The Commanders re-signed Deatrich Wise Jr. and have Dorance Armstrong and Javontae Jean-Baptiste coming back from injury, but they will need to bring in a few more players to improve, and solidify the position. General manager Adam Peters was with the 49ers when they drafted Jackson, but he\u2019ll have to return to his pre-injury form to earn a spot on the team this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Commanders reportedly extended two defensive lineman yesterday, and added are adding another one to the list&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":795644,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2069],"tags":[107294,427,7,6,855,111,6220,2480],"class_list":{"0":"post-795643","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-washington-commanders","8":"tag-2026-washington-commanders-free-agency","9":"tag-commanders","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-washington","13":"tag-washington-commanders","14":"tag-washington-commanders-free-agency","15":"tag-washingtoncommanders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116181133362311370","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=795643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795643\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/795644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=795643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=795643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=795643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
