The Washington Commanders entered Week 14 feeling good about their chances of getting a win. After all, star quarterback Jayden Daniels returned, and the Minnesota Vikings have struggled as well.However, the team completely laid an egg. The offense couldn’t do anything against Brian Flores’ defense, and the defense let J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings’ ground game do whatever they wanted.Unfortunately, the Commanders also got some bad news on the injury front. Daniels suffered another injury and didn’t return to the game, while tight end Zach Ertz also left with an injury. Shortly after the game. ESPN’s John Keim reported that the fear is that Ertz suffered a torn ACL. Dan Quinn said the fear is that TE Zach Ertz suffered a torn ACL. They will know tomorrow after more tests.— John Keim (@john_keim) December 7, 2025The injury occurred late in the third quarter, and it looked serious immediately.Ertz would obviously be a huge loss. The tight end has 50 catches for 504 yards and four touchdowns on the season. Just last week, Ertz had his best game of the season with 10 catches for 106 yards and moved to fifth all-time in catches for a tight end. This is just the latest entry in what’s been a nightmare season for the Commanders. Hopefully, Ertz can get back to full strength at some point for the 2026 season. However, the 35-year-old is a free agent after the season.This article originally appeared on Commanders Wire: Washington Commanders: Tough injury news on TE Zach Ertz
