The scene was grim Thursday night after Deatrich Wise was rolled up from behind by another player during a field goal attempt. Washington players congregated on the field to show their support and concern while the cart rolled out to collect the respected veteran and former Super Bowl champion. Fans immediately feared the worst, and their concerns of a season-ending injury were confirmed on Friday:
Wise was brought in this offseason to add size and physicality on the edge along with some pass rushing ability, recording 5 sacks last year. Deatrich acquitted himself well in his Commanders’ debut, loggin 2...

Washington Commanders defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. suffered a torn left quadriceps and will miss the remainder of the season, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Wise was hurt in Thursday’s 27-18 loss to Green Bay and would need season-ending surgery.
It’s a blow to Washington’s defense, as the 6-foot-5, 280-pound Wise added strength and size. The Commanders signed him to a one-year deal in the offseason to help bolster a defense that ranked 30th against the run last season.
Washington is still awaiting final...

The Commanders traveled to Green Bay for a Thursday night primetime clash that had fans and the national media talking all week. The game, however, didn’t live up to the hype, as Washington looked flat in all three phases, and fell to the much better team 27-18.
A young Packers team took a page out of your mom’s old playbook, but reversed it, taking a switch to the butt of the MUCH OLDER Commanders. The youngest team in the league showed that youth can indeed trump experience in today’s NFL.
The Commander now have a mini-bye before they face the...

As Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels made his way through the concourse of Capital One Arena following a Washington Capitals game in late April, he was forced to begrudgingly reach a conclusion about his status in the nation’s capital that many had known for months: He was a big deal.
All totaled, Daniels and his group needed 10 security guards and four ushers to help control the crowd at multiple points in the arena. And when he finally went to his car —...
The Commanders took a beating at Lambeau Field last night, there’s no other way to say it. For all of the celebration and praise that Washington received following their week one win over the New York Giants, and the fashion in which they did it defensively, the Commanders immediately felt what it was like to be the New York Giants for a week. Washington’s offensive line was under siege all night, and defensively, they could have allowed much more than 27 points against the Green Bay Packers if not for their self-inflicted mistakes.
It was a humbling night for Washington...
