Commanders’ Leo Chenal to miss remainder of season

The Washington Commanders got their first win of the season against the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks in Week 3, but they lost someone in the process. Linebacker Leo Chenal suffered a scary neck injury with just under seven minutes to play in the second quarter.

Seahawks running back Emmanuel Wilson was carrying the ball when Chenal tackled him short of the line to gain. Unfortunately, Chenal led with his head and appeared to jam his neck in the process. On replay, it looked almost more like a shoulder injury at first, but then the cart came out, and the seriousness of the injury became clear. Chenal was strapped down, but could be seen pumping his fist as the cart took him off the field.
