"Dorance Armstrong Jr. was in the midst of a breakout season. He was among the NFL's sack leaders, improving his ability to finish plays and emerging as a potential franchise cornerstone for this team to depend upon long-term. Unfortunately for the player and the Commanders, this positivity evaporated almost as quickly as it arrived. Armstrong went down after a few snaps against the Dallas Cowboys, and the concerns were immediate."
"Quinn later revealed that the serious knee injury sustained was season-ending, leaving the coach and general manager, Adam Peters, with another potential pivot. The Commanders have Jacob Martin, Von Miller, and Preston Smith on the edge. Fans are clamoring for another bold trade to salvage the season, but re-signing Jalyn Holmes is all Washington has done to fill the void left by Armstrong."
The Washington Commanders have suffered significant injuries that have undermined team performance and depth. Quarterback Jayden Daniels will miss Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs, marking his third absence and reducing upset chances. Edge defender Dorance Armstrong Jr. sustained a serious knee injury that is season-ending, removing a breakout pass rusher from the lineup. The team retains Jacob Martin, Von Miller, and Preston Smith on the edge but has only re-signed Jalyn Holmes as a replacement. General manager Adam Peters lacks trade assets without surrendering more draft capital, leaving the 3-4 Commanders with limited options amid a difficult stretch.
