In what was a high-scoring fourth quarter, the Washington Commanders lost one of their running backs at the end of the game due to a helmet-to-helmet hit. On the kickoff return, Austin Ekeler returned the ball and took a hard hit from a Dallas Cowboys player.

Ekeler immediately hit the ground and laid motionless as players from both teams signaled that the medical team check him out. The game went to a commercial break, and minutes later, Ekeler was back up on his feet being helped by the medical team to get him to the sidelines.

There’s a good chance that Ekeler suffered a concussion, and he’s already had one earlier this season.
