Washington Commanders Suffer Scare as Leo Chenal Suffers Neck Injury
WHY IT MATTERS
The Commanders' injuries raise concerns about player safety and the team's ability to compete without key players.
What happened
Washington Commanders linebacker Leo Chenal suffered a neck injury while tackling Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson. Chenal was carted off the field but showed movement in his extremities as he left the field.
This is the second straight week the Commanders have suffered a serious injury, following quarterback Jaylen Daniels' elbow dislocation last week.
Despite the setback, the Commanders are rallying and were leading the Seahawks 24-10 in the second half.
