Washington Commanders

Ahead of the Rams game, Commanders DC Daronte Jones said having Nick Cross back lets them play him in a big nickel, near the line of scrimmage or deep. "Obviously he's another piece back there... It gives us some versatility to play some different packages."

Asked about Trey Amos playing outside for 60 snaps last week, Commanders DC Daronte Jones said "it provides a level of stability for the defense." Jones said he didn't believe the team moved Amos around or locked him on any one receiver.

Commanders DC Daronte Jones on Charles Omenihu playing defensive tackle: "having that ability to have some pass rush on the interior, definitely showed up." On Byron Cowart, also at tackle, Jones said: "He's strong at the point of attack."
