"If that wasn't enough, there were yet more injury problems for the Commanders to contend with. Second-year wide receiver Luke McCaffrey broke his collarbone on the opening kickoff. Veteran cornerback Marshon Lattimore tore his ACL, putting him out for the rest of 2025 and a lot longer. Superstar quarterback Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow, and there is just no telling when (or if) he'll be able to return this season."
"Peters was ultra-aggressive during the offseason. The front-office leader recognized the need to make bold moves to maximize Daniels' rookie contract. Now that things have clearly not gone according to plan, he should adapt his strategy accordingly. If the Commanders aren't working the phones, they should be. And it should be for nothing more than outgoings. Washington only has six selections in the 2026 NFL Draft - two of which are in the first four rounds."
Washington suffered a blowout loss during Art Monk's No. 81 jersey retirement while enduring multiple major injuries. Luke McCaffrey broke his collarbone on the opening kickoff, Marshon Lattimore tore his ACL and will miss the remainder of 2025 at minimum, and Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow with an uncertain return timeline. Preseason expectations for a deep postseason run have evaporated, leaving the team with slim playoff chances and potential upside for a high draft pick. General manager Adam Peters traded aggressively in the offseason and now holds only six selections in the 2026 draft, prompting a strong case to sell assets before the November 4 deadline.
