Washington Commanders fell 27-18 to Green Bay as Packers’ defense overwhelmed Washington’s offense, while injury chaos at Lambeau Field strained a shallow depth chart. Deatrich Wise Jr. left in the second quarter with a leg injury that could end his season, a crippling blow to Washington’s edge-rushing and run defense. Austin Ekeler also suffered a non-contact calf/Achilles concern late, with Schefter reporting an Achilles tear as a real possibility. John Bates left with a groin injury; Noah Brown re-aggravated a knee/groin issue; Trey Amos exited with a shoulder issue, and Brandon Coleman also left with a shoulder injury before returning. The Patriots-like depth test for Washington will shape fantasy play moving forward, while Green Bay’s defense capped the night with pressure and disciplined coverage.

Packers’ defensive performance and the Commanders’ injury toll set the tone for the coming weeks, pushing fantasy managers to monitor Week 3 availability and potential replacements on both sides. Washington’s roster flexibility will be tested as they try to stabilize their defense and passing game, while Green Bay capitalized on the disruption with a disciplined, stout effort that solidified their position in a crowded NFC race.
