Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne reportedly suffers 'significant' foot injury, likely to go on injured reserve

Washington Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne suffered a “significant” foot injury during Friday’s practice session and is expected to be placed on injured reserve, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Shortly after Rapoport’s report, the Commanders officially listed Payne as out for Sunday’s game versus the Philadelphia Eagles. Payne will undergo more tests on Saturday, but all signs point to an extended absence for the nine-year veteran. Going on IR would mean Payne will be out for a minimum of four weeks. The Commanders have 11 games remaining on their schedule, which means Payne could appear in seven more games if he misses the minimum time. But with Washington holding last place in the NFC East at 1-4-1, the decision might be to keep him out for the remainder of the season if there’s any question regarding his health. This story will be updated with more information.
