Will return to Washington The Commanders are re-signing Ferrell to a one-year contract, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Ferrell started the first 10 games in which he played with Washington last season before working in a rotational role over the team's final four regular-season contests. He did see more defensive snaps in the playoffs, but after recording a sack in each of his first two contests of the campaign, he had only 1.5 more sacks over his final 15 games (including the postseason). The Commanders signed fellow defensive end Deatrich Wise Wednesday, so the club should have good depth along its defensive line in 2025.

Ends up in rotational role in 2024 Ferrell finished the 2024 regular season with 26 tackles (11 solo), including 3.5 sacks, along with a forced fumble over 14 contests.

Impact Following four seasons with the Raiders and one with San Francisco, Ferrell joined Washington on a one-year contract last March. The 2019 first-round draft selection had his highest defensive snaps shared in the first two weeks of the campaign, but he missed Weeks 3-5 with a knee injury. Upon Ferrell's return, he gradually downgraded to a lesser role, and he didn't log more than 32 percent of the Commanders' defensive snaps in any game after Week 12. Ferrell did see slightly more work in the playoffs, but given his modest production overall, it wouldn't be surprising if Washington chooses not to explore re-signing the soon-to-be free agent.

Will play against Carolina Ferrell (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Impact A knee injury has kept Ferrell off the field for three games this season, but he was able to return for Week 6 against the Ravens. He was a limited participant in practice all week, and while he is unlikely to be 100 percent, he will suit up for Sunday's contest. Ferrell has logged eight tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks, over three regular-season games.

Ready for Week 6 Ferrell (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Ferrell was able to practice in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday after logging a DNP to begin the Commanders' week of practice. The 2019 first-round pick has recorded four total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across two games this season. Expect Ferrell to serve as one of Washington's top edge rushers now that he's past his knee issue.

OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited participant Thursday Ferrell (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, according to Washington's official site.

Impact Ferrell has missed the last three games for the Commanders with a lingering knee injury, but he could make his return this week as he inches towards a full practice. The defensive end's true designation for Sunday against the Ravens should become clearer after Friday's practice.

Won't play vs. Cleveland Ferrell (knee) did not participate in Friday's practice and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Ferrell injured his knee in the lead up to Week 3, and the 2019 first-round pick will now miss a third consecutive game as a result. He gave himself a chance at suiting in Week 5 after logging a limited practice session Thursday, but his inability to practice Friday indicated that he still has a ways to go before seeing in-game action. Ferrell's next opportunity to suit up will be Week 6 against the Ravens on Oct. 13.

Cleared from injury report Ferrell (knee) is not listed on the Commanders' injury report Wednesday.

Impact Ferrell missed Washington's last two games, but his absence from the injury report suggests he's back to full health and should suit up in Week 5 against the Browns. His return should boost the Commanders' defensive front and pass rush.

Will remain out Ferrell (knee) will not play Sunday against the Cardinals, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ferrell missed the Commanders' Week 3 win over the Bengals on Monday night and is now set to miss his second straight contest. The veteran's presence should be missed with 2.0 sacks already on the season, through their first two games.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Week 3 Ferrell (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Bengals, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Impact Ferrell popped up on the injury report Thursday with a knee injury. While he was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday, the issue is severe enough where the 2019 first-round pick will be held out for Monday's contest, and his next chance at suiting up will be Week 4 against the Cardinals. Jamin Davis and Javontae Jean-Baptise are candidates to fill in for Ferrell as the second starting defensive end opposite Dorace Armstrong (chest) for Monday's game.

Another sack in Week 2 Ferrell recorded two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.

Impact Ferrell was able to secure a sack for the second straight week to open the 2024 season, bringing down Daniel Jones in the third quarter. The 27-year-old signed with Washington in the offseason, compiling four solo tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in his first two games with the team.

Will play Sunday Ferrell (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Ferrell was added to the Commanders' injury report Friday after not practicing due to a knee injury. However, it appears his inactivity Friday was simply precautionary, and he should be full go versus New York. During Washington's 37-20 loss to Tampa Bay in Week 1, Ferrell played 34 of 64 defensive snaps and recorded two solo tackles, including a sack.

Pops up with knee injury Ferrell (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup with the Giants, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ferrell popped up on the Commanders' injury report Friday as a non-participant in practice due to a knee issue, despite practicing in full both Wednesday and Thursday. If Ferrell's knee injury stops him from suiting up in Week 2, expect Javontae Jean-Baptiste to work as one of Washington's first-team edge rushers.

Logs sack in loss Ferrell recorded two total tackles (both solo), including 1.0 sack, during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact The first-year Commander was the only player to sack Baker Mayfield on Sunday, getting after the Tampa Bay's quarterback in the third quarter. Ferrell spent his 2023 campaign with the 49ers, appearing in 17 regular-season games and recording 28 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and forcing one fumble. The 2019 first-round pick is expected to have a significant pass-rushing role in 2024 and will look to build on Sunday's performance when Washington takes on the Giants in Week 2.

Swelling problems, ready for opener Head coach Dan Quinn said Ferrell was dealing with knee swelling during fall camp but will be ready for the season opener, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Quinn also added that Ferrell would've played this week if it were the regular season, hinting that he'll not appear in Sunday's preseason closer against the Patriots. The 6-foot-4 defensive end is still primed to start in Washington's season opener against the Bucs after being traded to the Commanders in March.
