He will require\u00a0season-ending surgery and was put on the injury reserve list.<\/p>\n<p>Mathis was chosen 47th overall by Washington\u00a0in the 2022 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Mathis was a defensive star at Alabama. He was named a second-team All-American by the AFCA. He was also a team captain. He registered 126 tackles &#8211; 16 tackles for loss &#8211; and 9.5 sacks during his four-year career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Tough luck for the Tide rookies lately, as Brian Robinson Jr. is currently sidelined too. He was shot in an armed robbery attempt.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson was placed on the non-football injury list which means that he has to miss the first four games. All recovery reports have been excellent though, and he may return in Week 5.<\/p>\n<h2>Jeter Over Suh<\/h2>\n<p>Washington signed defensive tackle Donovan Jeter to fill in for Mathis. He is 24 years old and spent time in the Pittsburgh Steelers system.<\/p>\n<p>The Commanders opted not to give veteran defensive tackle\u00a0Ndamukong Suh a go, who is available. Suh is a five-time Pro Bowler and a member of the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team, but has always been considered a bit of a problem child. He&#8217;s also 35 years old.<\/p>\n<h2>Second Guesses<\/h2>\n<p>The injury to Mathis does seem to compound some questionable personnel moves that Washington made this past off-season. The Commanders let both Tim Settle and Matt Ioannidis leave for greener pastures, both of whom landed on their feet in other cities (Buffalo and Carolina).<\/p>\n<p>Armchair experts all stood up and screamed that at least one of them should have been kept for depth.<\/p>\n<p>It was thought that Settle might command a decent contract upgrade, but he signed a two-year deal with Buffalo worth just $9 million.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s pretty safe to assume that Washington would gladly pay that now, especially given the loss of Mathis.<\/p>\n<p>Hindsight is always 20\/20.<\/p>\n<p>Hail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite a hard-fought win by the Commanders on Sunday, it wasn&#8217;t all sunshine.\u00a0Rookie defensive tackle\u00a0Phidarian Mathis suffered what appears to be a torn MCL .
