Charles Leno‘s season has come to an finish. The Commanders are putting the veteran offensive lineman on injured reserve, according to ESPN’s John Keim.
The 32-year-old has spent the past three seasons in Washington, starting each of his 47 appearances. This season, Pro Football Focus has Leno graded 25th among 84 qualifying offensive tackles, and he’s earned especially high marks for his pass-blocking ability.
After spending the first seven seasons of his career with the Bears, the lineman inked a one-year deal to start his tenure in Washington in 2021. Leno later inked a three-year, $37.5M extension with the organization in 2022.
The Commanders are dealing with injuries throughout their offensive line. Center Tyler Larsen will probably be sidelined on Sunday with a knee harm, whereas proper deal with Andrew Wylie is questionable with an elbow situation. If Wylie can’t go, Cornelius Lucas and Samuel Cosmi will possible fill in at OT for one more week.
