Commanders' Jeremy Reaves: Signing tender with Washington
Rotowire
Reaves signed his one-year tender with the Commanders on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Reaves was a restricted free agent and now will return to Washington for next season. The special-teams ace is coming off his most productive season, as he set new career highs for both games played and tackles with 17 and 33, respectively. Reaves once again should have a big role on special teams in addition to being a reserve option on defense in 2023.

Reaves, a restricted free agent, was tendered by the Commanders on Tuesday, Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post reports.
Reaves has been with Washington since 2018, playing both on defense and special teams. Last year was the first time he played in more than nine games, though his 143 snaps were his fewest since 2019. He'll likely retain a heavy special-teams workload while playing an occasional rotational role on defense.

Football Team's Jeremy Reaves: Bound for starting role?
Rotowire
Reaves is likely to enter the starting lineup following the placement of Deshazor Everett (pectoral) on IR, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Reaves played 41 percent of defensive snaps against the 49ers last weekend after Everett was forced out, and it appears that the Football Team could be forced to rely on him as a starter the rest of the way. In that case, Troy Apke and Cole Luke would be candidates for rotational gigs.
