Greg Olsen just said what Commanders fans have known all season long

"Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong for the Washington Commanders this season. And the most glaring issue, above all else, was highlighted by FOX Sports analyst Greg Olsen during the team's dismal Week 16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Commanders haven't played well enough to be even remotely competitive throughout the campaign. Head coach Dan Quinn isn't looking for excuses, but the constant stream of injury problems has played a significant role in the team's demise."

"It started with rookie wide receiver Jaylin Lane, who was knocked out of the game early and later ruled out with an ankle issue. But that was just the start. Greg Olsen couldn't believe the Commanders' injury misfortune in Week 16 Sam Cosmi hobbled off and was evaluated for a concussion. The same goes for Brandon Coleman, who was filling in for injured left tackle Laremy Tunsil. Quarterback Marcus Mariota didn't return after sustaining a hand problem, leaving third-string journeyman Josh Johnson to fill the void."

"A couple more players began to feel various ailments as the clock wound down. This didn't go unnoticed by Olsen, who said every Washington player needed to be bubble-wrapped after so many went down. This is nothing new for Commanders fans this season. Quinn's never had his preferred starting lineups on either side of the football. Injuries are commonplace around the league, but the number of influential figures who've missed considerable time for Washington this season is nothing short of astonishing."

Season-long injury devastation has left the Washington Commanders frequently without preferred starters and severely limited competitiveness. Week 16 compounded problems when rookie Jaylin Lane suffered an ankle issue, Sam Cosmi was evaluated for a concussion, Brandon Coleman filled in for injured left tackle Laremy Tunsil, and Marcus Mariota exited with a hand problem, forcing third-string Josh Johnson into action. FOX Sports analyst Greg Olsen said every Washington player needed to be bubble-wrapped after so many went down. The roster appears aging and thin, lacking explosiveness and depth, prompting general manager Adam Peters to plan wholesale personnel changes after 2025 while head coach Dan Quinn copes with limited options.
