"In the second round of the 2015 NFL draft, Washington selected Preston Smith out of Mississippi State. He played the first four seasons of his professional career for the franchise. In four years, Smith recorded 24.5 sacks for Washington. After the 2018 season, Smith left in free agency for the Packers. Smith had a breakout season with the Packers in 2019, recording a career-high 12.5 sacks. Since then, Smith hasn't reached double-digit sacks."
"Preston Smith spent six seasons with Green Bay until they traded him in 2024 to the Steelers. He played in 17 games last season, nine for the Packers and eight for the Steelers. For the season, Smith had 4.5 sacks. In their Week 2 loss to the Packers, the Commanders lost DE Deatrich Wise Jr. for the season due to a torn quad. To boost their defensive line, the Commanders have signed former second-round pick Preston Smith."
Deatrich Wise Jr. suffered a torn quad in Week 2 and was placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Cornerback Jonathan Jones also was placed on injured reserve, creating a roster opening. Washington signed veteran defensive end Preston Smith to a contract for the remainder of the 2025 season.
