The Washington Commanders tight end suffered a knee injury against the Minnesota Vikings Dec. 7 and did not return. Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota – in for the injured starter Jayden Daniels – threw high to Ertz in the third quarter. Vikings safety Jay Ward came in low and plowed into Ertz’s vulnerable right leg.

The Commanders QB is back after injuring his left elbow. Will he return after again hurting the same arm? Here's what to know.

The most severe conditions are expected on Sunday evening. While skies will clear, temperatures will plunge into the low 20s. The RealFeel temperature is forecast to drop to 7 degrees by 7 p.m. and as low as 4 degrees by 11 p.m.
