GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler sustained a non-contact Achilles injury in the fourth quarter of Thursday's 27-18 loss to the Green Bay Packers. With 5 minutes, 50 seconds to play, Ekeler was running a route on 3rd-and-10 and went to cut, only to fall to the ground. He was then helped to the sidelines as athletic trainers looked at his right foot.
Artie Burns is expected to miss the entire 2025 season after tearing his ACL on the first day of training camp, confirmed by an MRI. Burns suffered the injury during position drills and appeared frustrated as he slammed his helmet.
