Nobody likes a short week, even if it’s early in the season, and that’s exactly what the Washington Commanders are dealing with as they travel to take on the Green Bay Packers on Thursday. Luckily, the team has been rather healthy since it is early, and not during the long stretch of the season, but there was one injury on Sunday that could be costly.The Commanders’ latest move showed that they are uncertain if one key player will be able to go with the quick turnaround, and they’re bringing in backup just in case.If All-Pro punter Tress Way isn’t able to play, it’ll be a hit to more than just the field position game for the Commanders.

Tress Way is dealing with a back injury

Tress Way was the best player on the team for years, which is sad, but also shows how reliable he has been with his game-changing field position on his punts. He earned All-Pro honors in 2019 and made it to the Pro Bowl in 2019 and 2022. Way has only missed one game in his career as he enters his 12th season in Washington, and it would be his first time missing a game since 2021, when he had COVID against the Eagles. Way came down on his back after Abdul Carter partially blocked a punt and collided with Way, sending him down to the ground hard.
