"Injuries have been a significant part of the Washington Commanders' season. They had plenty of good fortune on the health front in 2024 en route to the NFC Championship game. Unfortunately for head coach Dan Quinn, the pendulum has shifted dismally this time around. Every team deals with injuries. No team has dealt with as many as the Commanders this season. A plethora of players, from fringe assets to franchise cornerstones, have gone down. Some are slowly returning,"
"but several are on the shelf for the rest of 2025, if not longer. Although it went relatively unnoticed compared to others, a concerning development during Friday's practice threatens to derail the momentum of one summer standout hoping to secure his place in the team's long-term plans. Ja'Corey Brooks was unfortunate not to hear his name called during the 2025 NFL Draft. The Commanders scooped him up quickly in undrafted free agency, giving him $267,667 in guaranteed money to secure his services."
The Washington Commanders have suffered the most injuries in the NFL this season, including both fringe players and franchise cornerstones, with several expected to miss the remainder of 2025 or longer. A previously healthy 2024 run to the NFC Championship has given way to a stark reversal under head coach Dan Quinn. Undrafted free agent Ja'Corey Brooks earned $267,667 guaranteed after the 2025 draft and impressed in training camp, earning a practice-squad spot while continuing development. Brooks appeared to suffer a right leg injury during Friday's practice, with no team update and unclear severity, imperiling his chance for future offseason contract opportunities.
