Summary
The Washington Commanders are honoring Hall of Fame running back John Riggins by retiring his number 44 jersey during their Week Nine game against the Rams — a move that signals a push to reconnect with fans after years of turmoil. Riggins, a durable legend who thrived in his thirties, joins an elite six-member group in franchise history to receive this honor. Meanwhile, the roster is undergoing a defensive overhaul with high-profile signings like Odafe Oweh and K’Lavon Chaisson, and a top-7 pick in Sonny Styles, creating fierce competition for players like Javontae Jean-Baptiste, who must prove himself against a deeper, more talented group.
