Commanders' stalwart stands tall as the hope fans wanted in tough times

Entering the Washington Commanders' Week 2 Thursday Night Football contest against the Green Bay Packers, one of the biggest concerns was the uncertain availability of veteran punter Tress Way.

The Commanders' longest-tenured player was dealing with a back injury after taking a hard fall when New York Giants edge rusher Abdul Carter ran into him on a partially blocked punt in Week 1. He was limited in practice and deemed questionable for the contest on the final injury report.

Not only did Way play, but he was one of Washington's lone bright spots in defeat.
