Due to the fact that running back Austin Ekeler sustained a concussion during Monday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Washington Commanders are aware that they will not have him available for this weekend’s game against the Arizona Cardinals.

The game is scheduled to take place between the two teams in Week 4.

This week, quarterback Jayden Daniels is aware that he and the offense will need to make some modifications in order to compensate for the absence of Ekeler.

The statement was made by Daniels, who stated, “Yeah, obviously that’s another weapon that we won’t have this week.” My prayers are with him for a swift recovery so that he can go back to normal as soon as possible.

However, when it comes to the next man up mentality, we are going to keep it down and move on forward. As a matter of course, we are going to go out and make an effort to put into action the gameplan that [Offensive Coordinator] Kliff Kingsbury and the other individuals have devised. And you, the next man up, should go out there and put in a lot of practice.

It is expected that Brian Robinson Jr. would receive the most of the carries now that Ekeler is out. The squad will also have Jeremy McNichols as a backup quarterback, and it is expected that he will also receive some playing time.

Despite the fact that the Commanders will not be at their peak with Ekeler back at home, there is a sense of confidence that surrounds the group that has a sense of catastrophe going into the game.
