According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, former Alabama Crimson Tide and current Washington Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne is set to miss the remainder of the 2026 NFL season with an injury.

Payne reportedly suffered the injury during Friday's practice, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The former first round pick by Washington back in 2018 is currently in his ninth season with the Commanders where he has appeared in six games. Payne has 14 tackles, two TFL, one sack, and a forced fumble so far this season.

The Commanders currently sit at 1-4-1 overall, as well as last in the NFC East.

Since entering the league, Payne has started 130-of-136 games played with Washington since 2018. Payne, a one-time Pro Bowl selection in 2022, has 446 tackles and 38 sacks over his nine-year NFL career.

Prior to entering the NFL, Payne won two national championships at Alabama, and had 102 tackles and three sacks over 44 games in Tuscaloosa from 2015-17.
