The Washington Commanders have placed kicker Austin Seibert on injured reserve following his poor performance in a close loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Seibert missed two extra points and a 51-yard field goal, which contributed to the team's defeat. The situation is complicated by his previous hip injury, and it's unclear if he was placed on IR due to that or a new leg injury. In his absence, Zane Gonzalez has filled in effectively, while the Commanders also added running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. to their roster due to injuries at the position.
- Austin Seibert's missed kicks were crucial in the Commanders' loss to the Cowboys.
- Zane Gonzalez has performed well in Seibert's absence, making all his attempts.
- The Commanders are dealing with multiple injuries, particularly at the running back position.
