InjuryJaylin Lane caught his only target for 13 yards before exiting the Commanders’ Week 11 loss to the Dolphins with a hip injury.
Lane was listed as questionable to return after taking a hard hit on his only catch of the day. His absence nearly proved fatal late in the game when backup punt returner Mike Sainristil muffed a punt in the fourth quarter. Miami recovered it and made its way to the one-yard line on the ensuing drive. Washington mounted a goal line stand and the game made its way to overtime. Lane hasn’t done much on offense as a rookie but has been an elite punt returner. Losing him would be a notable blow to Washington’s special teams unit.
