Washington Commanders linebacker Cole Holcomb underwent foot surgery Monday and is out for the season, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.
Holcomb last played in the Week 7 win over the Green Bay Packers and was placed on injured reserve on Nov. 25.
Holcomb, who is in the final season of his rookie contract, is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent in March. He should be fully recovered by the time free agency begins.
Before his injury, Holcomb almost never left the field for Washington. He was leading the Commanders in tackles at the time of his injury and among the NFL leaders.
In recent weeks, second-year linebacker Jamin Davis has been handling the calls from the sideline, something Holcomb did before his injury.
It’s unclear if Washington engaged in contract talks with Holcomb or if it will allow him to test the market.
Through four years in Washington, Holcomb has played in 50 games, making 48 starts, and recorded 388 tackles, including 15 for loss, 4.5 sacks, three interceptions and one touchdown.
