During Sunday’s game against the Giants, Washington Commanders defensive end Efe Obada suffered a serious leg injury and had to be carted off the field at FedEx Field. Obada underwent surgery on Sunday night after sustaining multiple lower leg fractures. The timeline for his recovery has not been determined, but it is likely that he will be out of play until 2024 due to the timing of the injury.
Obada joined the NFL after playing football in England and previously played for the Panthers and Bills before joining Washington in 2021. He had four sacks last season but has only managed two tackles in his five appearances this season. As a free agent in the offseason, Obada will need to demonstrate his health to potential teams before signing a new contract.
