Dalton hurt, Washington defense clamps down to beat Cowboys
Washington’s defense finally clamped down on a struggling opponent, piling up six sacks, an interception and a forced fumble that became a safety in a 25-3 blowout of the Dallas Co...OCTOBER 25, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Heading to medical tent Sweat is being evaluated for a concussion after exiting Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Sweat had been a difference-maker prior to his fourth-quarter exit, collecting three QB hits, two sacks and a forced fumble on Dallas quarterback Ben DiNucci. With Washington looking to close out a convincing home win over the Cowboys, Ryan Anderson would see an uptick in usage at defensive end if Sweat were unable to return.

Tacks on another sack Sweat recorded eight tackles -- 1.5 for a loss -- and a sack in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Rams.
Impact Sweat produced a career-high for tackles in a game, doubling his total for the season. It was an outstanding effort for the 2019 first-round pick, as he now has three sacks through five games and should have a chance to hit double-digits in the category this season.

Notches second sack Sweat made four tackles (three solo) and a sack in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Browns.
Impact Sweat now has two sacks through three games, and he's tied for second with Ryan Kerrigan and Jon Bostic in the category. Rookie Chase Young (groin) leads the team with 2.5 sacks so far, but he could miss Sunday's game against the Ravens. That could mean the Ravens can focus more on Sweat, lowering his ceiling a bit, but Washington has 12.5 sacks among seven different players this year, so that concern may be overstated.
