"According to Ian Rapoport from the NFL Network, the free-agent signing earlier this year sustained a fractured fibula. This leaves Harris on the shelf, probably for the entire season. The Commanders have Jeremy Reaves, Percy Butler, or Tyler Owens to fill the void. That hasn't stopped Peters from potentially finding another dependable veteran who could contribute. Senior insider Jeremy Fowler from ESPN revealed that the Commanders were bringing in recently released safety Darnell Savage Jr. in for a visit."
"Harris has connections in Washington. Jason Simmons, the team's pass game coordinator, coached the former first-round pick out of Maryland during his rookie campaign with the Green Bay Packers. While his big-money move to Jacksonville didn't quite go according to plan, this could be a solid stopgap option for the Commanders if everything checks out medically. The Commanders are dealing with more health problems than almost any other team right now."
Washington beat the Las Vegas Raiders comfortably in Week 3 while building momentum as the game progressed. Veteran safety Will Harris suffered a fractured fibula and likely will miss the season. Jeremy Reaves, Percy Butler, or Tyler Owens are available to fill the safety role. General manager Adam Peters is pursuing experienced replacements to mitigate roster losses. The Commanders have arranged a visit with recently released safety Darnell Savage Jr. from Jacksonville. Jason Simmons previously coached Savage during his rookie year with the Packers, providing a familiarity advantage. Washington faces extensive health issues, and Peters favors experienced, dependable short-term solutions.
