Commanders LB Leo Chenal carted off on backboard after sustaining neck injury

Washington Commanders linebacker Leo Chenal suffered a neck injury during Sunday's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, resulting in a lengthy delay as medical personnel stabilized him. The veteran defender absorbed a direct blow to the head area during the second quarter before being secured to a spinal board and transported away from the field.

Supporters inside the stadium voiced their backing while teammates surrounded the injured player prior to his departure. Although the medical cart carried him toward the locker room, he demonstrated movement in both his upper and lower extremities.

Before exiting the contest, the reserve linebacker had recorded three total tackles, consisting of two solo stops, during his third appearance of the campaign.
