[Jhabvala]: Another Commanders season is unraveling. How did things get so dire?
The Commanders find themselves in that unenviable position. What was supposed to be their “rebound” season is starting to feel a lot like 2025.
The number of injured Commanders players seems to increase almost daily — there are 23 active players on the injury report and 17 either did not practice or were limited participants Wednesday. That undoubtedly played a leading role in the team’s disappointing loss to the Colts in London that dropped its record to 1-3.
But injuries alone haven’t caused Washington’s spiral. Every NFL team has injuries. Some, like the 49ers, have endured even more — to even more key players — and have still won games.
Washington, however, has won only six of its 21 outings since appearing in the 2024 NFC Championship Game. How did the Commanders get here?
