Commanders' Jalyn Holmes: Plays in 16 games in 2024
Rotowire
Holmes recorded 18 tackles (11 solo), including 2.0 sacks, over 16 regular-season games -- five with the Jets and 11 with the Commanders -- in 2024.
Holmes began the season with the Jets' practice squad and was signed to the active roster after appearing in each of the team's first three games. He was then released in mid-October but quickly found a new organization, signing with Washington a few days later. Holmes took on a rotational role with the Commanders, typically playing 15-25 percent of the team's defensive snaps, but he saw more work in the playoffs and logged a season-high 55 percent of the team's defensive snaps in the NFC Championship Game versus Philadelphia. Holmes is slated to be a free agent upon the start of the offseason and played well enough while with the Commanders to potentially land a deal to fill a rotational role either with Washington or elsewhere.

Vikings' Jalyn Holmes: Ruled out for season finale
Rotowire
Holmes (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Holmes will miss a second straight game to close out the 2020 campaign, which comes as no surprise given that he was unable to contribute any sort of practice participation throughout the week. The 24-year-old garnered only one start over Minnesota's first six games of the season, but an Oct. 22 trade of Yannick Ngakoue to Baltimore opened up opportunities for Holmes down the stretch. He registered eight straight starts between Weeks 8 and 15, concluding his season with 36 tackles, four QB hits and no sacks over 14 appearances.
