For Payne, the injury is one that probably looks a bit worse than it actually is when it comes to his availability going forward. It was and is certainly painful for the lineman who can change a game for Washington.

That being said, it's possible he tries to play through it next weekend, similarly to how he did this week. Expect a notable update on his status this week during practice for the Commanders.
