Commanders likely won’t have Cody Barton this week

Cody Barton likely won’t be available to Commanders this week.

Cody Barton, the starting middle linebacker for the Washington Commanders versus the Philadelphia Eagles, is probably not going to play this week.

Barton exited MetLife Stadium wearing a walking boot after sustaining what is thought to be an ankle sprain early in last week’s loss to the New York Giants.

The extent of the injury will determine when he can play again, and the team plans to provide its first formal injury update following Wednesday’s practice.

Washington struggled with Jamin Davis and David Mayo as a combination at linebacker without Barton. Both players failed to make the tackle, and Davis made a crucial error that prolonged the Giants’ last drive.

Barton was the group’s “green dot” linebacker, which meant he was equipped with a headset that allowed him to speak with the defensive coaches at the sidelines. After he departed the game, Davis took over these responsibilities and participated in every snap for the remainder of it.

Additionally, Washington used Khaleke Hudson at linebacker on 36% more snaps than usual and has DeJon “Scooter” Harris ready to give depth if necessary, despite Harris only participating on special teams during the game on Sunday.
