Overview
- Imaging on Saturday confirmed a torn right Achilles for Austin Ekeler, who was injured late in the fourth quarter at Green Bay and will miss the rest of the season.
- Ekeler went down on a non-contact cut while split wide, was helped off, then carted to the locker room and quickly ruled out of the game.
- With Brian Robinson Jr. already traded, Washington will lean on Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr., with depth additions under evaluation.
- Defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. also suffered a season-ending quadriceps injury in the same game, compounding the team’s losses.
- Ekeler, 30, is in the final year of a two-year deal, adding uncertainty to his future as Washington prepares to host the Raiders on Sept. 21.
