InjuryCommanders placed WR Jaylin Lane (ankle) on injured reserve.
This ends his season. Lane left Saturday’s game with the injury on a punt return, further ruining the back of the Commanders’ emergency quarterback depth chart. The fourth-round rookie cracked 50 receiving yards once, but was usually an ancillary target when one of Deebo Samuel or Terry McLaurin was healthy. Sometimes we can see big leaps out of a player in their sophomore season, but nothing Lane has done so far has led us to believe he’s going to be more than a lower-roster receiver with special teams upside.
