Armstrong out for season

With Armstrong out for the year, the Commanders pass rush takes another hit. This comes after the team lost Deatrich Wise Jr. for the season back in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers.

Javonte Jean-Baptiste and Drake Jackson are also on injured reserve.

The Commanders will be forced to rely on their depth, which means Preston Smith and Jacob Martin's roles will likely increase. The Commanders will also likely sign a player or two from outside the organization to step in.

The Commanders are back in action in Week 8 against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football.
