Commanders' Jeremy Reaves: Will be placed on injured reserve

Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Reaves (knee) will be placed on injured reserve, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Reaves was injured in the Week 5 loss to the Bears on Thursday night. A first-team All-Pro as a special teams ace last season, Reaves' injury coupled with starting free safety Darrick Forrest's broken shoulder depletes Washington's safety depth. Reaves had yet to play a snap on defense this season.
