"It's no secret that the Washington Commanders were short-handed at the wide receiver position heading into their Week 7 showdown against the Dallas Cowboys. Head coach Dan Quinn couldn't afford anyone else getting hurt, which is why there was so much concern around Luke McCaffrey during a scary incident at the end of the first half. The Commanders placed Noah Brown on injured reserve."
"It was a complete disaster. And McCaffrey didn't make it much better after his hurdle on a kick return resulted in the former Rice standout taking a nasty fall, where he looked to hit the back of his head on the AT&T Stadium turf. McCaffrey was motionless for a brief period and immediately got the required attention from Washington's medical staff."
Washington entered Week 7 severely undermanned at wide receiver, with Noah Brown placed on injured reserve, Terry McLaurin absent for a fourth straight game, and Deebo Samuel sidelined by a heel issue. The active roster listed only three healthy receivers, supplemented by practice-squad elevation Robbie Chosen. Luke McCaffrey took a hard fall on a kick return late in the first half, appeared to hit the back of his head, and was motionless briefly before receiving medical attention. He walked to the locker room, was cleared during halftime, and returned to begin the second half, prompting relief from the team and fans.
