Washington Commanders defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. will miss the rest of the season after having quadriceps surgery, and the team believes running back Austin Ekeler tore his right Achilles tendon in a loss to the Green Bay Packers but is awaiting tests to confirm the severity of that injury, a person with knowledge of the situations told The Associated Press on Friday.
