Washington Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne suffered a season-ending Jones fracture in his foot during practice on Friday, ESPN reports, citing a source. CBS Sports reports the injury, citing ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The injury happened late in a light practice during a team drill, ESPN reports, citing a team source. It was described as a fluke and did not come from anyone stepping on his foot, the outlet says. Payne will be placed on injured reserve, ESPN reports. Recovery from such an injury can take up to four months, according to medical experts cited by ESPN.

Payne, 29, is in the final year of a four-year, $90 million extension, CBS Sports reports. He has played nearly three-quarters of Washington's defensive snaps this season, with one sack and 14 tackles, the outlet says. The injury "takes a potential trade candidate off the board," CBS Sports reports. He could have drawn interest from teams in need of a defensive tackle, the outlet says.

Washington drafted Payne in the first round in 2018, and he is the team's longest-tenured position player, ESPN reports. He made the Pro Bowl in 2022, when he had a career-best 11 sacks, the outlet says. He started every game from 2020 through 2024, ESPN reports.

The Commanders are 1-4-1 and play the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night, ESPN and CBS Sports report. Washington will also be without defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw, who has a knee injury, the outlets report. Jer'Zhan Newton, who tore a chest muscle in the preseason, is listed as questionable, ESPN reports.

What we know: Payne is out for the season and will go on injured reserve.
What we don't: Whether he will play for Washington again, since his contract ends after this season. Only ESPN has reported this so far, and NewsHabit hasn't seen independent confirmation.
