"After going into halftime tied with the Kansas City Chiefs, head coach Dan Quinn's squad lost by three touchdowns. Worse yet, the injuries continue to pile up. Left tackle Laremy Tunsil, the Commanders' blockbuster offseason trade addition, left with a hamstring issue. Terry McLaurin returned and grabbed a few highlight-reel receptions, only to re-aggravate his quad. Javon Kinlaw also injured his shoulder and did not return, though the defensive lineman revealed he wanted to go back in."
"There was a time over the offseason when Martin seemed like a question mark to even make the Commanders' roster. The surprise preseason cut of Clelin Ferrell solidified his spot, and the season-ending injuries to fellow defensive ends Deatrich Wise Jr., Javontae Jean-Baptiste, and Dorance Armstrong Jr. have forced him into a bigger role. He's started six of Washington's eight contests in 2025."
The Washington Commanders fell by three touchdowns to the Kansas City Chiefs after entering halftime tied. Multiple starters sustained injuries: left tackle Laremy Tunsil exited with a hamstring issue, wide receiver Terry McLaurin re-aggravated a quad after returning, and Javon Kinlaw left with a shoulder injury despite wanting to return. The team has lost several defensive ends to season-ending injuries, forcing depth changes. Veteran journeyman Jacob Martin has emerged as a pass-rushing bright spot, earning a larger role, starting six of eight games, and reaching 3.5 sacks after a strong performance that disrupted Patrick Mahomes in the first half.
