Commanders' post-bye fortunes hinge on a question growing impossible to ignore

The Washington Commanders will have some extended rest this weekend, which is precisely what they needed after six consecutive losses have dropped them to a pitiful 3-8 on the year.

They are the NFL's single biggest disappointment, especially after qualifying for the NFC Championship game last year and starting 2025 with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations. A multitude of factors have contributed, but above all, it's been a historically awful case of the injury bug.

The Commanders are currently missing their Week 1 starting quarterback, starting running back, top wide receiver, both starting defensive ends, two of three starting cornerbacks, a starting safety, and more.
