MINNEAPOLIS – The Washington Commanders’ spiraling season seems to be circling the drain for a painfully long period instead of just running down into the pipes and out of sight.
All NFL players enter the season with high hopes, but sometimes seasons don't go as hoped. These 20 players have been some of the biggest disappointments early in the 2025 season.
Per Tashan Reed, Commanders QB Jayden Daniels exited Sunday’s game after falling on his previously injured elbow, and HC Dan Quinn told reporters he was held out as a precaution.
The Washington Commanders looked like they were finally getting things figured out after going toe-to-toe with the Denver Broncos last week, and had a great opportunity this week with players getting healthy.
JJ McCarthy completed 16 of 23 passes for 163 yards and three touchdowns, and the Minnesota Vikings cruised to a 31-0 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis.
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels and tight end Zach Ertz each left Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings because of injuries. Daniels' injury marked another low point in a season filled with them for Washington.
For years, Thanksgiving belonged to the NFL, but Christmas belonged to the NBA. Occasionally, an NFL game would fall on Christmas, but it was anomalous, even avoided if possible.
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz suffered a gruesome leg injury on Sunday, and he was extremely emotional as he was carted to the locker room.
The Washington Commanders are heading back home disappointed after a 31-0 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14 at U.S. Bank Stadium. Just a week after the Vikings were shut out against the Seattle Seahawks, they inflict that pain onto the Commanders, who have lost their eighth consecutive game.
Update: Ian Rapoport reports that Commanders HC Dan Quinn fears Ertz suffered a torn ACL injury. He will likely undergo further testing to confirm the exact nature of the injury.
Washington Commanders second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels' snake-bitten season continued on Sunday when he reinjured his left elbow. Daniels was out for three weeks due to injuring the same elbow in Week 10.
The Commanders announced on Saturday that WR Noah Brown is being activated from injured reserve. The team is releasing veteran WR Chris Moore in a corresponding move.
The Washington Commanders' season hasn't gone as planned for anybody with a 3-9 record, and they are looking to end the year on a high note. Injuries and a struggling defense have been major factors in the Commanders' losing season, and both could be improving finally.
The Washington Commanders still have five games left to play this season, including a road trip to take on the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. It's never too early to think about the offseason, though, with a 3-9 record and one loss away from officially being eliminated from the playoffs.
