The Washington Commanders are dealing with some severe injury problems this season. This is having a detrimental impact on the team's chances to be successful, and things are teetering on a knife-edge at 3-4 with some challenging games upcoming.
These health concerns have been especially evident in the wide receiver room. Noah Brown finally went to injured reserve despite being missing since Week 2. Second-team All-Pro Terry McLaurin has missed the last four games, and there is no telling when he'll return. Deebo Samuel Sr., who's been toughing it out with a heel problem, wasn't risked in Washington's defeat to the Dallas Cowboys.
