The Washington Commanders needed significant adjustments. Their Week 2 defeat was a gut-check, but the injury problems that surfaced during the clash represented a much deeper concern for the team's chances of going deep into the postseason again.

The Commanders were dealt a blow when veteran running back Austin Ekeler sustained a torn Achilles tendon at Lambeau Field.
