Washington Commanders defensive back Jeremy Reaves suffered a partially torn ACL during practice and may be out for the rest of the season. Reaves is seeking additional medical opinions before making a decision on his immediate future. He was a first-team All-Pro special teamer last year. The news was confirmed by Mike Garafolo. In addition to Reaves, Jay Scrubb, a player for an unspecified team, is also out indefinitely with a torn ACL. Another player, James Bouknight, will undergo knee surgery and will be re-evaluated in four weeks. Reaves has been placed on injured reserve for at least four weeks, but further information is needed to determine the extent of his injury. Darrick Forrest, another player for the Washington Commanders, has also suffered a fractured shoulder, and the team is awaiting test results to determine the length of his absence. Austin Slater of an unspecified team has undergone elbow surgery.

Will be interesting to see how further tests go for Jeremy Reaves (partially torn ACL) and Darrick Forrest (fractured shoulder) to better assess how much time they'll miss. Reaves terrific in locker room, ST leader. Forrest brings passion/intensity. More 2 learn, but key losses

On Jeremy Reaves: My understanding is that more information is required before making any determinations, but the fear is that the All-Pro special teams selection suffered a potentially season-ending ACL injury, per source. Placed on IR today, so out at least 4 weeks.
