NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Commanders WR Jaylin Lane suffered a fracture and dislocation of his ankle and is likely out for the season.

London will undergo additional testing to confirm, but we’ll go ahead and assume the second-year receiver/return man is done for this season. Lane’s leg got twisted up under his body while he was returning a kick and he had to be carted from the field after the play. Lane has 18 career receptions for 250 scoreless yards but returned two punts for touchdowns as a rookie last season and has returned 12 kicks for 295 yards this season. Luke McCaffrey, who has been a healthy scratch for most of the season, will likely be active going forward given his abilities as a receiver/returner.
