Commanders Host Former Washington Lineman & 2nd-Round Edge Rusher for Workouts

Ahead of their Monday Night showdown against the Chicago Bears, the Washington Commanders are considering roster tweaks on both offense and defense. NFL insider Aaron Wilson reported the Commanders hosted offensive lineman Julian Good-Jones and edge rusher Drake Jackson for workouts this week.

Both were reportedly at the team facility Tuesday.

Jackson, who is a former second-round pick, has also visited other teams this week. NFL Trade Rumors’ Nate Bouda speculated that Jackson’s high demand likely means he will sign with a team before Week 6.

Good-Jones could return to Washington after spending the offseason with the Commanders. The team released him as part of their roster cuts in August.

A former undrafted free agent, Good-Jones has dressed for one NFL regular season game in his career. That was with the Commanders in 2023. Last season, he spent the entire campaign on the Washington practice squad.

The Commanders signed Good-Jones to a futures contract following the 2025 NFC championship game in January.


Could Commanders Bring Back Guard Julian Good-Jones?

The 28-year-old guard began his NFL career as an undrafted rookie in 2020 with the Philadelphia Eagles. After he didn’t make the Eagles roster during his first season, he signed with the Calgary Stampeders in the CFL.

Good-Jones had a second stint with the Eagles before joining the Commanders. The guard spent the beginning of the 2023 campaign on the Eagles practice squad. He remained on that squad until the Commanders signed him to their active roster.

The guard made his NFL regular season debut with Washington during Week 18 of the 2023 season against the Dallas Cowboys. Good-Jones played two offensive snaps.
