Washington Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne has suffered a Jones fracture, the team announced Friday. The injury occurred during the Commanders' game against the New York Giants on October 11 at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland.
Payne, a key interior lineman, was seen reacting during the first half of the contest. The fracture typically requires surgery and a recovery period that could sideline him for several weeks.
The Commanders have not yet released a definitive timeline for Payne's return. Further updates are expected as the medical staff evaluates the extent of the injury.
