ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Commanders placed cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon on the reserve/retired list.
Witherspoon, 31, informed the Commanders about his intentions on Tuesday morning, according to a team source.
Washington then signed veteran corner Fabian Moreau, who's returning to the team that drafted him in 2017.
Witherspoon was signed by the Commanders this offseason. He played the last three seasons with the Rams, but broke the scapula in his shoulder twice in 2025 and spent two stints on injured reserve, getting placed there for the final time after the wild card playoff round.
San Francisco drafted Witherspoon in the third round of the 2017 draft. He played four seasons with the 49ers and two with Pittsburgh before signing with the Rams.
