The Washington Commanders will be without defensive tackle Daron Payne for the rest of the season after he fractured his foot during practice on November 1. This injury follows the loss of star wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who is out for the season due to a torn patellar tendon. Payne had been viewed as a potential trade candidate as the NFL trade deadline approaches, but his injury eliminates any chance of a deal. The Commanders currently sit at 1-4-1 and trail the New York Giants by three games in the NFC East, raising questions about their playoff prospects.
