   Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Lane (ankle) will miss the remainder of the season.

   Lane suffered a gruesome ankle injury returning a kickoff in Sunday's loss to the Colts in London and had to be carted off. It was clear at the time that he wasn't going to be back this season. Dyami Brown took over as the Commanders' primary kick returner following Lane's injury.

   Lane was diagnosed with a fracture and dislocation of his left ankle after undergoing tests Monday and is expected to miss the remainder of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

   The second-year receiver out of Virginia Tech has been limited to 18 catches for 250 yards and no touchdowns on 34 targets over 19 career games, but he's emerged as one of the NFL's better punt returners since entering the league (13.3 yards per runback, two scores). However, after Lane went down with a severe ankle injury in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Colts, the Commanders will now have to get by without the return ace for the final 13 games of the season. Rapoport notes that Lane's ankle has been stabilized since he suffered the injury, but he'll undergo further medical tests before a determination is made regarding what type of surgery he'll require.

   Lane sustained a severe ankle injury during Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Colts, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

   The injury could cause Lane to stay overnight in London while undergoing more tests on his ankle. Given the initial diagnosis, it looks like the second-year pro won't play against the Giants in Week 5 and is likely facing a multi-week absence. Lane has primarily operated as a returner on special teams, and a prolonged absence would open the door to playing time for Luke McCaffrey (coach's decision).

   Lane (ankle) has been officially ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Colts in London, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

   Lane suffered an ankle injury during a kickoff return early in the third quarter and had to be carted off the field. He appeared unable to put any weight on his left leg and was ruled out from returning shortly thereafter. Dyami Brown handled Washington's next kickoff return and could take over in that role during Lane's absence.

   Lane was carted off the field with an apparent leg injury during Sunday's game against Indianapolis in London, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

   Lane was injured during a kickoff return early in the third quarter. According to Tashan Reed of The Washington Post, the second-year pro was unable to put any weight on his left leg. In the likely scenario that Lane is unable to return Sunday, the Commanders will lose both a depth wideout and their primary kick and punt returner.
