The Washington Commanders entered Saturday’s preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs banged up. Washington had several players sit with minor injuries, such as tight ends John Bates and Cole Turner and offensive linemen Charles Leno, Andrew Norwell, Trai Turner and Wes Schweitzer.
Initially, many figured Leno, Washington’s starting left tackle, sat because there was no reason for him to play. However, after the game, head coach Ron Rivera said Leno didn’t travel with the team due to “a slight medical issue.”
