The Washington Commanders have signed veteran pass rusher Preston Smith, with the team also announcing Wednesday that cornerback Jonathan Jones has been placed on injured reserve. Jones signed with the Commanders in March after spending his first nine seasons with the Patriots. During his first four years in Washington, Smith tallied 24.5 sacks before leaving for Green Bay as a free agent in 2019. Smith amassed 70.5 sacks (44 of which came during his tenure in Green Bay). Smith’s arrival also helps lessen the blow of losing defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr., who suffered a season-ending injury (torn left quadriceps) during the Commanders 27-18 loss to Green Bay last Thursday.
