"Concerns were immediate when Dorance Armstrong Jr. went down after a few snaps of their opening drive against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7. The defensive end hadn't practiced much throughout the week with a hamstring problem. Washington activated him for the game, but that will be the last time they see the former Kansas prospect in 2025. After additional testing, Quinn revealed that Armstrong had suffered a significant knee injury and would be out for the remainder of the campaign."
"Considering that Deatrich Wise Jr. and Javontae Jean-Baptiste are also out long-term, this already threadbare unit has been decimated. Commanders need another edge rusher after Dorance Armstrong Jr. injury blow Quinn also confirmed that he would be meeting with general manager Adam Peters regarding possible reinforcements. They only have Jacob Martin, Von Miller, and Preston Smith as things stand. Drake Jackson was recently acquired, but he went to injured reserve almost immediately to continue his recovery."
Dorance Armstrong Jr. suffered a significant knee injury in Week 7 and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season. He had been activated despite a hamstring problem and went down after a few snaps against the Dallas Cowboys. Armstrong was the Commanders' most productive pass-rusher during a breakout campaign. With Deatrich Wise Jr., Javontae Jean-Baptiste, and Drake Jackson also sidelined long-term, the edge group is severely depleted. Head coach Dan Quinn will meet general manager Adam Peters to explore reinforcements, but trade assets are limited, free-agent options are thin, and practice-squad pickups may be the most realistic route.
