Overview
- Jefferson re-signed to the Commanders' practice squad on Monday after being waived during final cuts on August 30.
- The six-year NFL veteran offers experience behind starters Stefon Diggs and Terry McLaurin and can be elevated for games without a 53-man roster spot.
- Jefferson was a key contributor in the Los Angeles Rams' 2021 Super Bowl season and his career totals are 166 receptions for 2,226 yards and 13 touchdowns across 94 games.
- Washington kept several younger, unproven receivers on the active roster, which makes Jefferson a practical short-term insurance option if injuries or poor performance create openings.
- Practice-squad signings like this are a common roster-management move before Week 1 and could lead to Jefferson seeing game action early in the season if the Commanders require veteran depth.
