Washington Commanders defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw underwent surgery on his medial collateral ligament (MCL) and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 season, according to a report from ProFootball Talk on Wednesday, November 4, 2026.
The injury occurred recently, and the team has not provided a specific timeline for his return beyond the season-ending prognosis. Kinlaw, a former first-round pick, has been a key part of the Commanders' defensive line rotation.
