The Washington Commanders have opened the 21-day practice window for defensive lineman Efe Obada, who is currently on injured reserve. Obada is capable of playing both defensive end and defensive tackle positions, which will help strengthen Washington's rotation on the defensive line. Head coach Ron Rivera expressed his satisfaction with Obada's movement during practice. This addition of depth will allow other players to stay fresher, as rookie Chase Young has been playing a high percentage of defensive snaps in consecutive games. In a separate announcement, the Jacksonville Jaguars have also opened the 21-day practice window for defensive lineman DaVon Hamilton.
