Commanders linebacker Leo Chenal faces season-ending neck surgery after tackle

Washington Commanders linebacker Leo Chenal is expected to undergo season-ending neck surgery after suffering a fracture during Sunday's victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Chenal was carted off the field on a spine board after dropping his head to tackle running back Emanuel Wilson, though he showed movement in his limbs while leaving the stadium. The injury marks the second major defensive scare for the Commanders in consecutive weeks, following a serious elbow dislocation for quarterback Jayden Daniels. Despite the loss, the Commanders secured a 24-10 win, with backup quarterback Marcus Mariota throwing three touchdown passes.

Commanders' free-agent haul earns high grades for 2026

Washington Commanders’ 2026 free‑agency class drew strong praise from national analysts, as nine signings—headlined by edge rushers Odafe Oweh and K’Lavon Chaisson and linebacker Leo Chenal—aim to boost the team’s pass rush and overall depth. The moves also add young talent like Chig Okonkwo and Amik Robertson to provide playmaking versatility for a roster that was among the NFL’s oldest in 2025, with outlets like CBS Sports, Bleacher Report, and Yahoo Sports giving favorable grades and framing the class as a solid, under-the-radar investment to raise the team’s floor for 2026.

Chiefs' 2022 Draft Class Nears the End as Chenal Leaves for Washington

Chiefs LB Leo Chenal is reported to sign a three-year, $24.75M contract with the Washington Commanders, leaving only George Karlaftis as the remaining 2022 draft pick under KC contract and signaling that eight of ten players from that class have moved to new teams. The broader center market was reset by Tyler Linderbaum’s $81M deal with the Raiders, making Creed Humphrey’s $18M-per-year deal look relatively reasonable. Kansas City reportedly pushed for OT Jermaine Eluemunor but couldn’t lure him away from the Giants. Reports also place Isiah Pacheco headed to Detroit and Kenneth Walker III’s connection to KC, among other NFL moves noted in the roundup (including a canceled Crosby trade and Geno Smith-to-Jets deal). The piece touches on Khyiris Tonga as a potential versatile addition for KC going forward and whether the Chiefs are still on a championship trajectory amid the upheaval.
