Commanders' Van Jefferson: Leads team in receiving in loss
Jefferson caught five of seven targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Rams.
With Terry McLaurin (knee) and Treylon Burks (foot) out for the Commanders, Jefferson played 36 of 62 offensive snaps and ran 25 routes on Jayden Daniels' 42 dropbacks. The veteran wideout was signed to the active roster from the practice squad two weeks ago and led the team in receiving against Los Angeles. If Burks needs to miss more time, Jefferson could again have a role in three-wide sets Thursday night against the Giants.

Commanders' Van Jefferson: Signs with Washington
The Commanders signed Jefferson to the active roster Wednesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.
Jefferson has played in one regular-season game for the Commanders this season. The wide receiver logged three offensive snaps and 13 special-teams snaps in the team's Week 5 tie with the Giants. Jefferson moves to the active roster as No. 1 wide receiver Terry McLaurin (knee) shifts to injured reserve.

Commanders' Van Jefferson: Moves back to practice squad
The Commanders reverted Jefferson to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Jefferson was elevated for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's Week 5 tie with the Giants. He logged three snaps on offense without drawing a target or touch while adding 13 snaps on special teams. Whether Jefferson gets elevated again Week 6 versus San Francisco may depend upon whether Stefon Diggs is able to return from a hamstring injury.

Commanders' Van Jefferson: Up from practice squad
The Commanders elevated Jefferson from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.
With Stefon Diggs (hamstring) and Jaylin Lane (ankle/IR) out and Terry McLaurin (hamstring) questionable, Jefferson will give the Commanders an experienced option behind Antonio Williams, Dyami Brown and Treylon Burks at wideout.

Van Jefferson: Returning to Washington
Jefferson signed with the Commanders' practice squad Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
The wide receiver was released by Washington on Aug. 30. Jefferson has 166 career regular-season catches for 2,226 yards and 13 touchdowns across six different NFL campaigns. In Washington, he joins a receiver room that thins out significantly after veterans Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs.

Van Jefferson: Released by Washington
Jefferson was released by the Commanders on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Jefferson joined Washington in March after spending a season with the Titans, but the team will move forward with other options at the wideout spots. Jefferson has seven years of experience under his belt, so he should garner interest from clubs looking for a proven wideout.

Commanders' Van Jefferson: Joining Commanders
Jefferson (forearm) is signing with the Commanders, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Jefferson finished the 2025 regular season with the Titans on injured reserve due to a forearm injury, but he looks to have recovered. Prior to that injury, the six-year NFL veteran recorded 350 receiving yards in 16 games. Jefferson had 802 regular-season receiving yards back in 2021 with the Rams but hasn't topped 369 in any of his other five campaigns, which suggests he's likely ticketed for a depth role in Washington.

Titans' Van Jefferson: Placed on injured reserve
The Titans placed Jefferson (forearm) on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Jefferson was already ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jaguars, and his placement on injured reserve is a procedural move to open space on the Titans' 53-man roster for the return of Bryce Oliver (knee) from IR. Jefferson will end the 2025 season with 29 catches (on 52 targets) for 350 yards and one touchdown across 16 games. The sixth-year wideout will enter the offseason as a free agent.

Titans' Van Jefferson: Done for season
Interim coach Mike McCoy said after Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Saints that Jefferson is done for the season due to the forearm injury he sustained in the contest, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Jefferson won't play in the Titans' season-finale against the Jaguars next weekend and could land on IR in order to free up a roster spot for the team. In his looming absence, Mason Kinsey and/or James Proche figure to handle added WR snaps behind Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike.
