Minnesota Vikings wideout Adam Thielen suffered a right ankle injury on a catch in the fourth quarter against the Commanders.
By video, Thielen suffered a right ankle eversion sprain when he was landed on by a defender.
He walked off the field and was checked in the blue injury tent, possibly for a concussion evaluation as well.
Thielen was not on the field for the Vikings' next possession, a redzone touchdown pass to Dalvin Cook.
His availability next week against the Bills may depend on overnight swelling.
The 32-year-old receiver had 3 catches for 67 yards before exiting.
