Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne suffers foot injury, AP source says
Washington Commanders defensive lineman Daron Payne suffered a significant foot injury at practice on Friday, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday because the injury had not been announced by the team.
Washington Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne sustained a serious foot injury during practice on Friday, according to an AP source. The injury was deemed significant by X-rays, and Payne's availability for Sunday's game against the Eagles was subsequently downgraded to out by the team. Payne, a nine-year veteran, had started each of Washington's six games this season and amassed 14 tackles and a sack.
He has played a total of 136 games in his career, all with the Commanders. This injury follows the team's recent loss of star receiver Terry McLaurin to a torn left patellar tendon, just a week ago. The Commanders, currently at 1-4-1, now face the challenge of playing without Payne for the foreseeable future.
