Head coach Dan Quinn isn't looking to make excuses. He knows the Washington Commanders haven't performed well enough overall. However, the numerous injuries have been a leading factor in the team's demise.
Every franchise deals with health problems throughout the campaign. The Commanders have dealt with more than most, and those incidents have typically involved essential players. Three more issues occurred involving quarterback Jayden Daniels, wide receiver Luke McCaffrey, and veteran cornerback Marshon Lattimore in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks, further adding to the fans' pessimistic outlook.
Just what the Commanders would have been able to accomplish with a full-strength squad remains to be seen.
