Tests Confirm Austin Ekeler’s Season-Ending Achilles Tear

Commanders running back Ekeler tore his Achilles tendon in Thursday’s 27-18 loss to the Packers, tests confirmed. Ekeler went down untouched in the fourth quarter and was carted off. He later thanked fans for support on Instagram. Washington will now turn to Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Jeremy McNichols, and Chris Rodriguez in the backfield.
