Commanders suspect Austin Ekeler tore Achilles, MRI pending

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler is suspected to have torn his Achilles tendon, which could sideline him for the entire 2025 season after an injury during a game against the Packers. An MRI will confirm the diagnosis, and if confirmed, Ekeler's season is likely over. He had a strong start to the season with 43 rushing yards and 38 receiving yards in two games, and his absence will increase opportunities for rookies and backups like Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Jeremy McNichols, and Chris Rodriguez.
