Commanders Linebacker Injury
Washington Commanders Linebacker Leo Chenal Carted Off Field With Neck Injury
Anonymous
Washington Commanders linebacker Leo Chenal was carted off on a backboard with an apparent neck injury during the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks after going down while making a tackle on running back Emanuel Wilson. His teammates gathered around him as fans chanted his name; Chenal raised a hand and appeared to gesture to those nearby while being taken off. Washington ruled him out, and Ale Kaho replaced him, with other linebackers also expected to take on more snaps.
Key Points
1
Chenal was starting in place of Frankie Luvu, who missed his second straight game with a groin injury.
2
Washington was already short at inside linebacker: Jordan Magee had been placed on injured reserve after the season opener with a hamstring injury.
3
Kain Medrano was also expected to get more snaps after Chenal left the game, alongside Ale Kaho.
4
One report said Chenal appeared to lead with his head while making the tackle; another said he appeared to take a knee to the head as he went down.
