"The Washington Commanders' nightmare season managed to hit another new low in a shutout loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Quarterback Jayden Daniels returned, but dinged up his elbow again and was held out for most of the second half for precautionary reasons. Tight end Zach Ertz, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky. He took a hard shot to the knee in the third quarter, suffering a season-ending - and possibly career-ending - torn ACL."
"Sinnott should be Washington's starting tight end for the remaining four weeks of the season. John Bates has been ahead of him on the depth chart, but he's primarily a blocking specialist. Colson Yankoff could also get more involved, but he wasn't drafted as a crucial building block. The Commanders need to know what they have in Sinnott. They've been officially eliminated from playoff contention, and it's a real question as to whether or not they'll even win another game this year."
Washington suffered a shutout loss to the Vikings while quarterback Jayden Daniels re-injured his elbow and was held out most of the second half as a precaution. Tight end Zach Ertz suffered a third-quarter knee injury that resulted in a season-ending — and possibly career-ending — torn ACL. Second-year tight end Ben Sinnott, a 2024 second-round pick, now figures to start the remaining four games, offering Washington a chance to evaluate his ability after limited opportunities. John Bates remains primarily a blocking specialist, and Colson Yankoff could see more snaps. The team has been eliminated from playoff contention and must prioritize development of young players.
