Washington designated Jean-Baptiste (ankle) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Wednesday. Jean-Baptiste has spent the Commanders' last five games on the sidelines due to an ankle issue he picked up in Week 6 at Baltimore, but he now appears to be on track to return to action soon. His name will be one to watch for when Washington releases its last official practice reports of the week Thursday and Friday.

The Commanders placed Jean-Baptiste (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday. Head coach Dan Quinn told reporters Monday that Jean-Baptiste sustained an ankle injury in the Commanders' Week 6 loss to the Ravens, and Wednesday's move to IR indicates his injury is significant. While the rookie from Notre Dame is sidelined, expect Efe Obada and Jamin Davis to see increased work as rotational defensive ends.

The Commanders selected Jean-Baptiste in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 222nd overall. Jean-Baptiste secured a full-time starting role in his sixth collegiate season at Notre Dame after transferring from Ohio State. He made good on the opportunity by tallying 10 tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks and is regarded as a technically solid player without standout athleticism. Jean-Baptiste is likely to get a long look in training camp, but his ultimate destination is likely a practice squad to further develop.
