The Washington Commanders had been lucking out in the injury department last year and at the start of 2025. That all changed in a hurry after their loss to the Green Bay Packers.
On offense, running back Austin Ekeler tore his Achilles, and star quarterback Jayden Daniels is dealing with a knee sprain. On defense, starting defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr., who was one of the Commanders' key free agent signings, suffered a season-ending quad tear.
Replacing Wise will be a challenge for the Commanders. There's no clear candidate in the fold to take over the starting duties.
