Commanders Receiver Jaylin Lane Has a Fractured and Dislocated Left Ankle, AP Source Says

Tests confirmed a fractured, dislocated ankle, and Ian Rapoport reported Jaylin Lane is likely done for the season.

  • On Sunday in London, Washington Commanders wide receiver Jaylin Lane suffered a fractured and dislocated left ankle during the team's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Reports indicate the injury will likely end his 2026 season.
  • Already dealing with a string of injuries, the Commanders entered the matchup without starting quarterback Jayden Daniels and left tackle Laremy Tunsil. Their absence compounded offensive challenges before Lane's injury.
  • Lane sustained the injury on a kickoff return during the third quarter and was carted off the field. A person familiar with the situation confirmed the fractured and dislocated ankle diagnosis Monday on condition of anonymity.
  • Starting quarterback Marcus Mariota also exited the game with a knee injury, leaving rookie Athan Kaliakmanis to take over. The Commanders listed Mariota as "questionable to return."
  • The Commanders could get Daniels back as soon as this weekend when hosting the New York Giants. His potential return offers relief for an offense now depleted by multiple injuries.
