"The Washington Commanders will have some extended rest this weekend, which is precisely what they needed after six consecutive losses have dropped them to a pitiful 3-8 on the year. They are the NFL's single biggest disappointment, especially after qualifying for the NFC Championship game last year and starting 2025 with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations. A multitude of factors have contributed, but above all, it's been a historically awful case of the injury bug."
"The good news is that all of those wideouts, except for McCaffrey, should be returning soon. McLaurin has been week-to-week with a quad injury for the second time this year, but could be on track to play in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. Brown has been on injured reserve with a groin issue for most of the campaign, but his setback has not been deemed season-ending. The injuries to Burks and Lane seem to be short-term."
The Washington Commanders have fallen to 3-8 after six straight losses and suffer from extensive injuries across offense and defense. Multiple starters are sidelined, including the Week 1 quarterback, starting running back, top wideout, both defensive ends, two starting cornerbacks, and a safety, with many season-ending. Kliff Kingsbury's offense has averaged just 14 points over its last four games without key receivers Terry McLaurin, Noah Brown and Luke McCaffrey. Midseason addition Treylon Burks and rookie Jaylin Lane missed recent action, forcing Marcus Mariota to rely on Chris Moore and Jacoby Jones. McLaurin, Brown, Burks and Lane are expected to return soon to help stabilize the passing game.
