Commanders Defensive Tackle Daron Payne Suffers Foot Injury, AP Source Says

Daron Payne was limited in Friday practice and could miss a key NFC East game as Washington manages multiple defensive-line injuries.

  • Washington Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne will miss Sunday's game against Philly after suffering a "significant" foot injury at practice on Friday. X-rays confirmed the severity, prompting the team to downgrade him to out.
  • A former Pro Bowler on a $90 million contract, Payne has played all nine of his NFL seasons with Washington, which selected the former Alabama star with the 13th overall pick in 2018.
  • Already struggling with a 1-4-1 record, the Commanders face compounded roster challenges after losing star receiver Terry McLaurin to a tendon injury over a week ago. Defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw also missed practice all week due to a knee injury.
  • According to Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Payne will "likely" head to injured reserve. He recorded 14 tackles and one sack this season while maintaining a player impact score of 79.8.
  • Head coach Dan Quinn occupies one of the hottest seats in football as the midway point approaches. With the November 10 trade deadline looming, Payne's status as a 29-year-old in his contract year signals potential organizational shifts.
