The Washington Commanders offense, particularly the wideouts, has received a lot of attention during training camp. That continued Wednesday when the unit performed well at a joint practice against the Miami Dolphins.
But the Commanders had standouts on defense as well, including free agent signee K’Lavon Chaisson.
On Thursday, Fansided’s Riggo’s Rag’s Dean Jones included Chaisson on his list of five winners from the joint practice versus the Dolphins.
“Chaisson was relentless coming off the edge, generating pressure while also becoming impactful against the run. His partnership with Oweh is flourishing, and it might be the combination Daronte Jones goes with in the regular season,” wrote Jones.
“This dominance was not a flash in the pan, either. It’s the same consistency Chaisson has displayed over camp and during last season’s breakout with the New England Patriots.”
The Commanders added Chaisson on a 1-year, $11 million contract this offseason. With the New England Patriots last season, he had 7.5 sacks, 10 tackles for loss, and 18 quarterback hits.
Chaisson’s 7.5 sacks was second for the AFC champion Patriots in 2025. It was also a career best for the seventh-year edge rusher.
