Washington brings back Preston Smith to shore up a defensive front thinned by injuries, reuniting him with the franchise that drafted him. Smith’s 6-5, 265-pound frame and versatility to rush from end, inside, or stand-up should stabilize the pass rush and run defense after Deatrich Wise Jr. went IR and Jonathan Jones joined IR. Expect Washington to lean on varied fronts, with a tangible bump in sack opportunities and DL rotation stability into the coming weeks.
