Commanders Move Noah Brown to IR, Sign DE Drake Jackson
The Washington Commanders have officially placed wide receiver Noah Brown on the Reserve/Injured list due to ongoing injuries. In a move to strengthen their roster, they have also signed defensive end Drake Jackson as a free agent.
Impact of Noah Brown’s Injury
Noah Brown has been struggling with groin and knee injuries this season. He has missed four consecutive games, notably the most recent match against the Chicago Bears. Now placed on IR, he will be unavailable for the next four games. However, he could return in Week 11 for the game against the Miami Dolphins, scheduled to take place in Madrid, Spain.
Details on Drake Jackson’s Signing
- Drake Jackson was a second-round draft pick by the San Francisco 49ers in 2022.
- He has played in 23 games, recording 21 tackles, along with nine pass breakups and six sacks.
- His career faced setbacks when he was placed on the Reserve/Injured list eight games into the 2023 season.
- After undergoing patellar tendon surgery in August 2024, he missed the entire 2024 season.
- The 49ers waived Jackson in May 2024.
Additional Moves by the Commanders
In a further effort to bolster their lineup, the Commanders have signed veteran guard Julian Good-Jones to their practice squad. This addition aims to enhance their offensive line depth.
Jonathan Jones Update
The Commanders have opened a 21-day practice window for cornerback Jonathan Jones. He suffered a hamstring injury during the game against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. The team can activate him at any point within this timeframe. If he remains unactivated by the end of the 21 days, the Commanders will have to choose between activating him or placing him back on the IR for the remainder of the season.
