Commanders Face Key Injuries to Daniels, Armstrong Amid 2025 NFL Season Challenges

The Washington Commanders are facing significant challenges as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Kansas City Chiefs, with key injuries impacting their roster. Quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a right hamstring injury, which head coach Dan Quinn described as "not significant or long-term," though Daniels' availability for the next game remains uncertain. Meanwhile, the team suffered a major blow with defensive end Dorance Armstrong sustaining a season-ending torn ACL, adding to the loss of other defensive ends and weakening the defense that ranks low in scoring and yards allowed. Armstrong's absence leaves a gap in the pass rush, putting pressure on backups to fill his role. The team's defense has struggled throughout the season, contributing to their disappointing 3-4 record, despite high expectations. Coach Quinn acknowledged the difficulties and the need to find solutions, as the Commanders look to rebound from a heavy defeat against the Dallas Cowboys.
