The journeyman edge rusher has the Commanders’ only two sacks through two games. Coach Dan Quinn does not expect it to be a long-term issue, so Ferrell should have a decent shot at returning for Week 4.

Ferrell will join his fourth team since entering the NFL in 2019. He spent 2023 with the Niners, totaling 28 tackles and 3.5 sacks over 17 games. Ferrell should have a shot for much more playing time in Washington, which sported one of the league’s worst pass rushes last year.

Ferrell missed a second straight practice with a knee issue after playing in all seventeen regular season games. He seems headed to an inactive status for the Divisional Round game against the Packers, being the only 49er that did not practice on Wednesday. Ferrell will rest and try to return for the NFC Championship game, if the 49ers can advance.

Shocking. The No. 4 overall pick in the 2019 draft, Ferrell has eight sacks total in three seasons and was just a rotational player last year. It is not a given Ferrell makes the roster out of training camp. Las Vegas also declined the options for Josh Jacobs and Johnathan Abram.
