The Washington Commanders sign two defenders, adding defensive tackle Byron Cowart and linebacker Curtis Jacobs, both announced on Tuesday. Cowart is brought in as a veteran presence on the defensive line, while Jacobs is added later the same day to further strengthen the defense.

The reports describe the moves as part of the team’s ongoing effort to reinforce defensive depth. One outlet focuses on Cowart as the primary addition, while the other also highlights that the club follows that signing with Jacobs later in the day. Beyond the basic confirmation of the signings, the sources do not provide contract details, roles on the roster, or immediate game impacts.

Together, the coverage indicates the Commanders are expanding their defensive personnel through two separate agreements within the same day. Any broader evaluation—such as fit, expected snap counts, or how the signings affect existing players—is not addressed in the provided summaries.
