The Washington Commanders secured an exciting victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, but the win came at a cost as running back Austin Ekeler sustained a concussion and a lacerated ear during the game.
Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Ekeler will miss the upcoming Week 4 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Instead of traveling with the team, he returned to Ashburn, Virginia, and will need to pass through the concussion protocol for his return to practice and games.
Despite Ekeler's injury, quarterback Jayden Daniels shone in the match, posting impressive statistics which highlight the Commanders' evolving offensive strategy. However, the absence of Ekeler, a vital part of the passing game, could challenge their performance against Arizona.
