Overview

  • McFadden suffered the right foot injury in the first quarter of the Week 1 loss to Washington and was carted off with an air cast.
  • Initial X-rays were negative and he later appeared on the sideline in a boot before additional evaluations identified the need for surgery.
  • ESPN reports he will be out for a significant portion of the season, with expectations he plays again this year but no firm timetable set.
  • Darius Muasau replaced McFadden on Sunday, and the Commanders scored a 7-yard touchdown to Zach Ertz on the next play.
  • New York allowed 220 rushing yards after his exit, and depth options to help cover include Muasau, Chris Board and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, with Bobby Okereke anchoring the other inside spot.
