Washington Commanders defensive lineman Deatrich Wise was carted off the field during Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers with an injury. He was rolled up on during a PAT in the second quarter.
Wise went to block Brandon McManus’ kick when he wound up at the bottom of the pile. He stayed on the field while the training staff attended to him and later left on a cart.
Wise is in his first season with the Commanders after starting his career with the New England Patriots, who drafted him out of Arkansas in 2017. He was part of the Super Bowl LIII team as he totaled 314 tackles, including 34 sacks, with the franchise. The Commanders then signed him to a one-year contract this offseason.

Deatrich Wise entered Thursday’s primetime matchup questionable after appearing on the injury report with a knee injury. However, he was able to give it a go as the Commanders look to build on last week’s resounding win over the New York Giants to kick off the 2025 season.
