Commanders' Jeremy Reaves: Back at camp
Rotowire
Reaves (knee) was spotted participating in Wednesday's training camp session, David Harrison of SI.com reports.
Reaves sustained a partially torn ACL early into the Commanders' 2023 campaign that forced him to miss the team's final 12 regular-season contests, but it now appears he's past the issue. With Reaves back at full health, he's expected to remain one of the best special-teamers in the entire league.

Commanders' Jeremy Reaves: IR-bound with partial ACL tear
Rotowire
Washington placed Reaves (knee) on its injured reserve list Tuesday, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
Reaves was confirmed to have sustained a partial ACL tear Tuesday, and it's now possible he'll spend the remainder of the regular season on the injured reserve list. He had played exclusively on special teams through five games in 2023, so Washington will have to look to replace his production in that phase until he's ready to return.

Commanders' Jeremy Reaves: Receives tender
Rotowire
Reaves, a restricted free agent, was tendered by the Commanders on Tuesday, Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post reports.
Reaves has been with Washington since 2018, playing both on defense and special teams. Last year was the first time he played in more than nine games, though his 143 snaps were his fewest since 2019. He'll likely retain a heavy special-teams workload while playing an occasional rotational role on defense.

Football Team's Jeremy Reaves: Bound for starting role?
Rotowire
Reaves is likely to enter the starting lineup following the placement of Deshazor Everett (pectoral) on IR, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Reaves played 41 percent of defensive snaps against the 49ers last weekend after Everett was forced out, and it appears that the Football Team could be forced to rely on him as a starter the rest of the way. In that case, Troy Apke and Cole Luke would be candidates for rotational gigs.
