Washington Commanders

Sonny Styles

LB

The rookie first-rounder led the Commanders in tackles Monday, and it was his second consecutive game with 13 combined tackles. Styles is up to 46 combined tackles through six regular-season games, which leads the Commanders and ranks in the top 20 in the NFL.

Drew Stevens

PK

The Commanders' offense put forth a mostly-uninspiring effort in Week 6, but Stevens made the most of his limited opportunities, including a 51-yard field goal to put the team on the scoreboard after its first drive of the night. Two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Terry McLaurin ruptured his patellar tendon Monday, and regular starting running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt went to IR with a groin injury before the game, neither of which bodes well for Washington's general offensive outlook for the coming weeks. Stevens and the Commanders will take on the Eagles in Week 8 after their bye in Week 7.

Austin Ekeler

RB

Despite the absence of Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin), Ekeler was hardly involved in the Commanders' offensive game plan. He was on the field for only seven of 67 offensive snaps, well behind Rachaad White (45) and even fewer than the returning Jeremy McNichols (12). Even with Croskey-Merritt on IR for at least the next three games, It's hard to envision a path to consistent playing time for Ekeler following the Commanders' Week 7 bye.

Dyami Brown

WR

Despite Terry McLaurin (knee) exiting early in the loss to the 49ers, Brown wasn't on the field more than usual. He wasn't any more productive, either, catching just one pass for the second straight contest. McLaurin will miss the remainder of the 2026 campaign after it was announced Tuesday that he had been diagnosed with a torn left patellar tendon. However, that doesn't mean Brown will be more involved moving forward, considering the Commanders still have Antonio Williams, Stefon Diggs and Treylon Burks in the mix.

Jaylin Lane

WR

Lane sustained his season-ending ankle injury during the Commanders' Week 4 win against the Colts, and the injury was severe enough for him to stay in London overnight to be monitored and undergo additional tests. His absence has opened the door to more playing time for both Luke McCaffrey and Dyami Brown, and they are both candidates for another bump in playing time after Terry McLaurin tore his patellar tendon during the Commanders' 23-17 loss to the 49ers on Monday.
