Heartbreaking news for Washington Commanders: He won’t play again

Washington Commanders vs New England Patriots Friday Injury Report: Two players ruled out

The Washington Commanders have ruled out two players for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots. Both players were injured in last week’s loss to the Eagles, and neither was able to practice this week. Curtis Samuel was dealing with a foot injury last week, but he left the game with a toe injury. Rookie OL Ricky Stromberg suffered a knee injury, and was seen on crutches after practice yesterday. He is expected to go on injured reserve, likely ending his season.

Washington only listed one player as questionable. Safety Percy Butler has been limited this week with a calf injury, but had a full practice today. He should be ready to go on Sunday. Tight end Logan Thomas was limited on Wednesday with a heel injury, but was a full participant the rest of the week.

Doctors have given Young a plan to gradually increase contact during practice, with the goal of getting him back to full strength by Week 3. If Young only misses this week and next Week’s road game against the Denver Broncos, he will return to the team for a tough home game against the Buffalo Bills.

Washington’s defensive line continues to deal with injuries, and their depth will get tested early in the season. DT Phidarian Mathis and DE/DT Efe Obada were both placed on injured reserve, and they will miss the first four games. Young will be missing multiple weeks to start the season. James Smith-Williams popped up on yesterday’s injury report with an oblique injury. Washington re-signed former 7th round pick William Bradley-King yesterday, and also has two rookies(K.J. Henry, Andre Jones Jr.) available.
