Commanders running back Austin Ekeler tore his Achilles in Thursday night's loss to the Packers, an MRI confirmed, according to a report from NFL Network.
The 30-year-old Ekeler's injury could be one that is difficult to come back from at this stage of his career, and is a brutal blow to Washington's running back room. The 30-year-old Ekeler is in his second season with the Commanders after spending the first seven years of his career with the Chargers as one of the league's best dual-threat running backs.
