Leo Chenal Fantasy Stats

Washington Commanders linebacker Leo Chenal (neck), who was taken off the field with a scary-looking injury on Sunday in the Week 3 win over the Seattle Seahawks, will have season-ending surgery on Monday morning for a fracture in his neck, sources told Jordan Schultz. The most important thing is that Chenal has feeling in all of his extremities, and the expectation is that he will make a full recovery. The 25-year-old was carted off the field in D.C. on Sunday in a scary scene after his neck got jammed while trying to make a tackle against Seattle. The former third-round pick by the Kansas City Chiefs from Wisconsin will have his fifth season (first with Washington) come to an end after just three games played. Before his injury this year, Chenal had recorded 18 tackles (nine solo) and one tackle for a loss for the Commanders.

The Washington Commanders have signed linebacker Leo Chenal to a three-year deal, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. The former third-round pick hit free agency for the first time in his career this offseason, following a four-year stint in Kansas City. Across 14 games (12 starts) with the Chiefs last season, he totaled one interception, two passes defended, two sacks, five quarterback hits, and 58 tackles. The University of Wisconsin product played a key role in Kansas City, and he should have similar responsibilities in a Washington defense looking to make key improvements from last season. He should start opposite Frankie Luvu and is presumably the Commanders' preferred choice to replace free agent Bobby Wagner on defense.
