Commanders Place Newly Signed DE Drake Jackson on Injured Reserve

The procedural designation follows his midweek signing to comply with NFL transaction rules.

Overview

  • Washington announced Jackson’s move to injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four games after signing him earlier this week.
  • The IR placement was planned, as teams cannot finalize a signing and put the same player on IR on the same day, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
  • Jackson continues rehab from a torn patellar tendon that ended his 2023 season and kept him out in 2024, making a debut no earlier than Week 11.
  • The signing reunites Jackson with general manager Adam Peters, who helped draft him during his time with the 49ers.
  • Concurrent moves included placing wide receiver Noah Brown on IR, opening cornerback Jonathan Jones’ 21-day practice window, and adding guard Julian Good-Jones to the practice squad.
