Commanders DL Daniel Wise is out with ankle injury

Washington’s lack of depth along the defensive line became an even bigger issue in Sunday’s Week 2 game against the Detroit Lions.

Reserve defensive tackle Daniel Wise departed the game in the first half with an ankle injury. The team quickly ruled Wise out for the remainder of the game.

This is another blow for the Commanders, who lost rookie defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis for the season last week. Mathis, who suffered a torn meniscus, underwent surgery on Friday.

In response to Mathis’ injury, Washington signed defensive tackle Donovan Jeter to the active roster and Benning Potoa’e to the practice squad. Ahead of Sunday’s game against the Lions, Washington elevated Potoa’e to the 53-man roster.

To make matters worse, the Commanders also lost defensive end Casey Toohill, who was ruled out with a concussion.

It looks like another busy week for the Commanders on the waiver wire.
