"Ertz took a nasty hit while in the air against the Minnesota Vikings, and it didn't look good from the outset. He left in tears on a cart, and his teammates were visibly emotional. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed everyone's worst fears, and the potential Pro Football Hall of Famer now faces a lengthy recovery from a torn ACL. The Commanders will help him along the way, but it's highly unlikely general manager Adam Peters will give him another deal."
"In an ideal world, Ben Sinnott will show enough over the Washington Commanders' final four games to warrant a legitimate chance to take over from Ertz in 2026. However, that is not a foregone conclusion by any stretch of the imagination. Sinnott's been something of an enigma since joining the Commanders as the No. 53 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft."
The Washington Commanders have endured a disastrous season compounded by a severe injury to veteran tight end Zach Ertz, who suffered a torn ACL after a heavy hit against the Minnesota Vikings and left the field in tears. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed the injury and a lengthy recovery is expected. The team will support Ertz but general manager Adam Peters is unlikely to re-sign the veteran as Washington needs to get younger at tight end. The front office must evaluate internal options and potential replacements, with Ben Sinnott among candidates who could earn a larger role.
