The Washington Commanders will wear three helmet decals this Sunday to honor the lives of the three University of Virginia football players who tragically got gunned down in an on-campus shooting last Sunday.
The Virginia players — Lavel Davis Sr., Devin Chandler and D’Sean Perry — will be represented by Nos. 1, 15 and 41, respectively, on Washington’s helmets.
The Commanders’ FedEx Field is located less than 150 miles from the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville.
The three players were killed in a shooting following a school field trip. Former UVA football player Christopher Darnell Jones Jr. was placed into custody and is charged with three counts of second-degree murder, three counts of using a handgun in the commission of a felony and two counts of malicious wounding.
Two others players were also injured and currently recovering. The university canceled classes in the wake of the shooting.
The 5-5 Washington Commanders will look to build off their huge win over the previously undefeated Philadelphia Eagles when they take on the worst team in the NFL in the Houston Texans.
