Talk about a gut punch for Washington. Commanders DB Nick Cross had to stay in Dallas Sunday night, checked into a local hospital after suffering an internal injury. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Cross was thankfully released from the hospital and is now on his way home, but gave zero details on the injury or his outlook moving forward. This is the same guy who’s started both games for the Commanders this season and already racked up 11 tackles. That’s a huge blow for their defense, especially coming off a loss to the Cowboys where Jayden Daniels’ injury was the main story. Yikes.
Cross’s Tough Break for Washington’s Defense
It just sucks to see any player go down, especially with something as vague and serious-sounding as an “internal injury.” You just hope he gets back on the field soon. For Washington, losing a starting defensive back who’s already got 11 tackles in just two games is a massive hit. You know how important every single player is, especially early in the season when teams are trying to find their rhythm. This ain’t some minor bump or bruise, this dude was in the hospital overnight in Dallas. You gotta wonder how long he’ll be out and what that means for the Commanders’ secondary moving forward. Brutal.
Meanwhile, Our Hawks Are UNSTOPPABLE
But hey, while one team is reeling from injuries, our Seattle Seahawks are out here absolutely DOMINATING. Did you SEE what Mike Macdonald’s squad did to the Arizona Cardinals? A flat-out beatdown, 31-7! Sam Darnold looked sharp, Jaxon Smith-Njigba was probably cooking, Rashid Shaheed and Cooper Kupp had to be making plays. That’s the kind of statement win that gets the league’s attention, especially early in the season. You love to see that kind of energy and execution from the jump. The 12s are already buzzing, and for good reason!
The Commanders are dealing with some serious health issues, but our Emerald City warriors are healthy and HITTING. After that 31-7 clinic in Arizona, the momentum is all ours. We’re showing everyone what we’re made of. Keep that energy, Hawks, because the rest of the league needs to know what’s coming next. Go Hawks!
