Jordan (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, the Washington Times reports. |
Entering 2014, Jordan had missed only three games in his last four seasons, but he'll end the campaign having played in just two games in his first, and perhaps last, season in Washington. He sprained his MCL early in the year and has been bothered recently by swelling in the region. |

Given that Jordan is dealing with an MCL sprain, his absence could stretch through more than this week. He's likely no more than a backup, either way. |

Free agent ILB Akeem Jordan will visit the Redskins. |
ESPN 980 Washington first reported the sides' "mutual interest" last week. Jordan isn't a difference-making talent, and would be little more than a body for the Redskins' 53-man roster. |

Thu Mar 13 2014 | 18:41 | 'Mutual interest' between 'Skins, ILB Jordan |
ESPN 980 Washington reports the Redskins and free agent ILB Akeem Jordan have "mutual interest." |
Jordan is coming off a career-best year, but still wasn't a difference maker in 483 snaps last season. He's spent his entire career playing for Andy Reid. Jordan would be a depth signing for a team that's had little depth in recent years. |

Free agent ILB Akeem Jordan will visit the Titans on Monday. |
Jordan appeared in all 16 games, starting ten, in his lone season with the Chiefs. The 28-year-old is a two-down linebacker who doesn't create plays. He has just four career forced fumbles and two interceptions across seven seasons. |

Tue May 14 2013 | 20:07 | Akeem Jordan still starting for Chiefs |
Akeem Jordan started alongside ILB Derrick Johnson in Chiefs OTAs Tuesday after running with the first-team defense in voluntary workouts. |
He's the mediocre linebacker coach Andy Reid just can't quit. "The thing you get with Akeem is he's a smart football player," Reid said. "He hasn't played in the 3-4, but he gives you the trust that he can do that. He doesn't make a lot of mistakes." Best suited for a reserve/special teams role, Jordan is supposedly competing with fourth-rounder Nico Johnson and Zac Diles, but the job is his to lose. |

Sat Apr 13 2013 | 21:55 | Akeem Jordan close to deal with Chiefs |
The Chiefs are expected to sign free agent LB Akeem Jordan . |
Jordan visited with the Bengals this week and was reportedly drawing interest from "multiple teams." The former undrafted free agent has started 27 games over the last four seasons with the Eagles, but will likely serve as strictly depth in Kansas City's 3-4 defense. |

Tue Apr 9 2013 | 16:43 | Eagles not giving up yet on Akeem Jordan |
The Eagles have made free agent LB Akeem Jordan an offer to return. |
Jordan is currently visiting the Bengals, and reportedly drawing interest from "multiple teams." The Philadelphia Inquirer reported in February that it expected the Eagles to move on from Jordan, but they never revealed their true intentions. Jordan had yet to make a visit before the Bengals called. He'd be returning as depth in Philly. |

Free agent LB Akeem Jordan is visiting the Bengals Tuesday. |
It's the first known interest Jordan has attracted on the open market. The former undrafted free agent was often overused by the Eagles, as he started 27 games over the last four seasons. Ideally, the undersized Jordan is depth at outside linebacker and a core special teamer. |

Tue Feb 12 2013 | 16:52 | Eagles expected to part ways with LB Jordan |
The Philadelphia Inquirer expects the Eagles to move on from free agent LB Akeem Jordan. |
Jordan has been a valuable role player for the Eagles since 2007, but has never emerged as a full-time starter, and will turn 27 in August. Jordan shouldn't attract interest as a starter on the open market. |

Sun Aug 26 2012 | 12:28 | Akeem Jordan unseats Brian Rolle at WILL |
Akeem Jordan has unseated Brian Rolle as the Eagles' starting weak-side linebacker. |
Rookie Mychal Kendricks will start on the strong side and DeMeco Ryans will work the middle. Rolle struggled throughout the preseason and will join Jamar Chaney as the team's primary backup linebackers. On the roster bubble earlier this offseason, 28-year-old Jordan is not a long-term solution. |

Tue May 1 2012 | 22:02 | Jordan, Fokou facing 'uphill battle'? |
The Philadelphia Inquirer believes Eagles LBs Akeem Jordan and Moise Fokou "may face an uphill battle for roster spots." |
Both Jordan and Fokou made seven starts in 2011, but could be the odd-men-out after Philly traded for DeMeco Ryans and spent a second-round pick on Mychal Kendricks. Jordan was the more productive player last season, and with two more years of experience in the Eagles' system, should have a leg up on Fokou if it becomes an "either/or" proposition. |

The reserve linebacker and special teamer had one tackle before going down. He'll likely be questionable at best for Week 9, and should be considered week-to-week. |

Mon Sep 12 2011 | 12:13 | Jordan has 'slight' labrum tear |
Reserve Eagles WLB Akeem Jordan's right shoulder injury has been diagnosed as a "slight" labrum tear. |
He'll reportedly "struggle to practice" this week, so his odds of being active in Week 2 against the Falcons are not looking good. Jordan's absence would presumably lead to more snaps for Keenan Clayton behind starter Moise Fokou. |

Eagles WLB Akeem Jordan was forced from Sunday's opener against the Rams with a right shoulder injury. |
The reserve linebacker is doubtful to return. His absence should mean more snaps for starting WLB Moise Fokou in sub-packages. |
