The Washington Commanders are preparing for their Week 7 game against the Carolina Panthers, but several key players will be sidelined. Notably, defensive end Dorance Armstrong will miss his second straight game, having contributed 12 tackles and three sacks in the season's first five games.

Additionally, the Commanders will be without Jonathan Allen, who is on injured reserve due to a torn pectoral muscle. The Panthers also face challenges, with multiple players, including pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney, unable to participate.
