Commanders Dealt Major Blow as Starting DT Daron Payne Suffers Season-Ending Injury

The Washington Commanders will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8, but they are set to enter the matchup without several key players, including a key absence on the defensive line. During Friday’s practice, veteran defensive tackle Daron Payne reportedly suffered a significant foot injury. The Commanders initially listed the 29-year-old as questionable for Sunday’s game. However, ESPN’s Adam Schefter has now reported that Payne will miss the remainder of the season with a season-ending injury. The update comes just a day after Washington added him to its injury report with a questionable designation for the Week 8 matchup.
