"GREEN BAY, Wisc. -- Washington Commanders defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. suffered a left quadriceps injury midway through the second quarter and was carted off the field. He was later ruled out. Wise suffered the injury on a Green Bay extra point attempt with 7 minutes, 34 seconds left in the second quarter. He became emotional while laying on the ground as teammates took a knee on the field. Eventually almost the entire contingent on Washington's sideline surrounded Wise, who had a wrap around his left quad."
"As Wise left the field he raised his right hand as fans applauded him. Wise started the first two games at defensive end after signing a one-year deal with Washington in the offseason. The Commanders liked his strength setting the edge to defend the run while adding some pass-rush ability. Wise played his first eight seasons with New England. Second-year end Javontae Jean-Baptiste replaced Wise on the ensuing series. The Commanders liked their defensive line depth entering the season and it will now be tested."
