Ferrell compiled nine tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, during San Francisco's win over the Browns on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ferrell had one of the best outings of his career, leading the team in both tackles and sacks. The 28-year-old has been productive across his limited playing time this season, tallying 14 tackles (nine solo), including 4.0 sacks, in just four games. He is now just 0.5 sacks shy of his career-best mark set during his rookie season in 2019.

Ferrell is slated to sign with San Francisco's practice squad, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferrell spent the offseason with Washington but was cut by the team prior to Week 1. He then inked with the Chargers' practice squad and was elevated Week 5 against the Commanders, making one assisted tackle, before being cut Oct. 14. The veteran defensive end now looks slated to provide depth for a 49ers defense that has already lost star playmakers Nick Bosa (knee - ACL) and Fred Warner (ankle) for the year.

Ferrell was released by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferrell appeared in all three preseason contests with Washington, compiling four total tackles (two solo) and a pass defensed. The defensive lineman recorded 26 total tackles (11 solo), including 3.5 sacks, while also adding a forced fumble over 14 regular-season contests with the Commanders in 2024. Ferrell will now look for another opportunity elsewhere, potentially even with an active roster.

The Commanders are re-signing Ferrell to a one-year contract, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferrell started the first 10 games in which he played with Washington last season before working in a rotational role over the team's final four regular-season contests. He did see more defensive snaps in the playoffs, but after recording 1.0 sacks in each of his first two contests of the campaign, he had only 1.5 more sacks over his final 15 games (including the postseason). The Commanders signed fellow defensive end Deatrich Wise on Wednesday, so the club should have good depth along its defensive line in 2025.

Ferrell finished the 2024 regular season with 26 tackles (11 solo), including 3.5 sacks, along with a forced fumble over 14 contests.

EDGE Analysis

Following four seasons with the Raiders and one with San Francisco, Ferrell joined Washington on a one-year contract last March. The 2019 first-round draft selection started off with regular defensive playing time, but he missed Weeks 3-5 with a knee injury. Upon Ferrell's return, he gradually downgraded to a lesser role, and he didn't log more than 32 percent of the Commanders' defensive snaps in any game after Week 12. Ferrell did see slightly more work in the playoffs, but given his modest production overall, it wouldn't be surprising if Washington chooses not to explore re-signing the soon-to-be free agent.

Ferrell (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

A knee injury has kept Ferrell off the field for three games this season, but he was able to return for Week 6 against the Ravens. He was a limited participant in practice all week, and while he is unlikely to be 100 percent, he will suit up for Sunday's contest. Ferrell has logged eight tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks, over three regular-season games.

Ferrell (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferrell was able to practice in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday after logging a DNP to begin the Commanders' week of practice. The 2019 first-round pick has recorded four total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across two games this season. Expect Ferrell to serve as one of Washington's top edge rushers now that he's past his knee issue.

Ferrell (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, according to Washington's official site.

EDGE Analysis

Ferrell has missed the last three games for the Commanders with a lingering knee injury, but he could make his return this week as he inches towards a full practice. The defensive end's true designation for Sunday against the Ravens should become clearer after Friday's practice.

Ferrell (knee) did not participate in Friday's practice and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferrell injured his knee in the lead-up to Week 3, and the 2019 first-round pick will now miss a third consecutive game as a result. He gave himself a chance at suiting up in Week 5 after logging a limited practice session Thursday, but his inability to practice Friday indicated that he still has a ways to go before seeing in-game action. Ferrell's next opportunity to suit up will be Week 6 against the Ravens on Oct. 13.

Ferrell (knee) is not listed on the Commanders' injury report Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ferrell missed Washington's last two games, but his absence from the injury report suggests he's back to full health and should suit up in Week 5 against the Browns. His return should boost the Commanders' defensive front and pass rush.
