"The Washington Commanders are reeling right now. Not only are they coming off a gut-check defeat against the Green Bay Packers with the national NFL audience watching, but head coach Dan Quinn is also trying to navigate some concerning injury problems. Quinn knows that every team deals with injuries throughout the season. The Commanders have more than most. This stemmed from a short week with almost no preparation time early into the campaign."
"It didn't look good for Deatrich Wise Jr. when he was carted off against the Green Bay Packers. The veteran defensive end looked despondent, and the concern among his teammates couldn't have been more obvious. They were right to be worried. Wise sustained a quad injury that requires surgery. The Commanders placed him on season-ending injured reserve, and considering the former Arkansas standout only signed a one-year deal with the franchise, he's probably played his last game in Washington."

Deatrich Wise Jr. suffered a season-ending quad injury requiring surgery and was placed on injured reserve. The team chose not to replace his edge role immediately, prompting fan concern about edge depth.
