Redskins injury updates here!

[Spence]

The latest news is not good (http://www.dcprosportsreport.com/washington-redskins/redskins-defense-shredded-by-rams-injuries.html).

[SkinsGuru]

not good at all . . .

Carriker has been playing darn good, so losing him for the rest of the season will hurt . . . Jenkins will need to step up his game, and maybe with more playing time will develop faster . . . hope so anyway . . .

Orakpo, while not playing up to what everyone thinks he should, has been playing pretty good and seemed to have gotten a bit better in coverage . . . we will need someone to step up . . . Jackson did nothing yesterday that made me think he will do it . . .

Wilson, he is by far our best CB (should be a number 2, but not for us) and we have nobody on the roster that can replace him . . . hope he is not out too long . . .

[PennSkinsFan]

According to London Fletcher a few minutes ago, he said it looks like Carriker is done for the season.

[ISF]

I'd be willing to be that Baker plays more nose now and Cofield gets slid out to DE.

[Crazy Horse]

Sucks about AC,but i don't think we'll get good knews about orakpo either.i don't think he has been himself all season anyway.

[Crazy Horse]

just got this from nfl network.at least it is not an acl tear.

Redskins expect Adam Carriker to be out all season w/a quad tear

[AubieTom]

What does it mean when they say they won't use Golston and Jenkins to fill Carriker's spot? I understand they need to add a player to the roster, but two guys that are part of the rotation won't be used? I don't get it?

[ISF]

Or if they sign someone, he doesn't come from the practice squad? Worthington should be first man up, if you ask me. But Baker has been inactive, he should be active on gamedays which would allow flexibility with Cofield.

[Crazy Horse]

why not bring andre carter back? he can take orakpo's place.fred davis sucks too.cut grossman and bring cooley back cause he looks like he is smoking the reefer again! I Don't think we can count on davis anymore!

[Crazy Horse]

Huge blow to an awfully bad defense with them.unless we see a huge improvement,i think that haslett is gone as a result of this at the end of this season.this is the worst Defense we have had since ron lynn was here under norv.

Because he was worse in coverage as a 3-4 OLB than anyone on the current roster. He needs to have his hand in the dirt on every down and the 3-4 doesn't allow for that.

I'd rather see them go get Markus White off of the Bucs practice squad.

[Crazy Horse]

after hearing shanny's PC,i think that worthington is gonna get brought up from the practice squad.

[ISF]

That addresses the Carriker roster spot, still have an opening for Orakpo.

Back to Andre Carter, in his only season in DC as a standup OLB in a 3-4, he had 3.5 sacks or so. Year before as a hand in the dirt 4-3 DE, he had 10 sacks as I recall. You can't just put him on the field and say rush the passer, the job of O coords is to see who is on the field for the D and call plays to exploit them. Carter will get put into alignments that will require him to cover in space, and I'd rather have Tom Threlkeld doing that before Andre Carter.

The better option, in my amateur, uneducated opinion, is to bring back Markus White who has been trained in our scheme and would take the least amount of time to get up to speed.

[SkinsGuru]

YIKES!! . . . not sure there are a ton of players that can really help out there . . . sure hope Jackson or Wilson can step up and play . . . a bad defense just got worse!!

[PennSkinsFan]

The other bad thing about all this is Josh Wilson has a concussion. We don't know about his time table. He woud be a big loss as well. He is the best corner overall on this team. The secondary already blows.

Everyone is welcome for the tip!

so how come nobody is talking at Fred Davis' concussion??

Shanahan: Fred Davis should be subjected to NFL concussion protocol after receiving an illegal helmet to helmet hit vs. the Rams.

with the way he has been playing, maybe the hit on the head will help . . .

According to Grant Paulsen, Davis has been targeted a team high 9 times. So he is definitely a part of the passing game plans.

Read a post on another skins website that Garcon is unlikely to play sunday.I Hope we ain't gonna be the victim of the free agent curse like we have been in the past!

[ISF]

Garcon has played a total of 8 snaps this season and still leads the team in receiving yards. He is more tantalizing than Malcolm Kelly.

[PennSkinsFan]

I don't even know what to think of this. The things you read is that the injury shouldn't be that big of a deal. Even Shanny said it depends on a player's pain tolerance

[SkinsGuru]

i think what Shanny is saying is that playing on the injury doesn't risk hurting it further, but that the injury is very painful and once Garcon's pain is down to a tolerable level then he can play . . . hopefully soon . . . after 1 quarter of play he was on pace for 6976 yards, 64 TD's and 256 receptions . . . LOL

[PennSkinsFan]

Officially

Garçon is doubtful
Merriweather is questionable
Wilson is probable

[PennSkinsFan]

According to multiple sources, LT Trent Williams has a bone bruise in his right knee. Bullet dodged.

[PennSkinsFan]

Evan Royster confirmed to the media that his injury is only a minor sprain.

[Crazy Horse]

If trent williams does not play next week and black takes his place, RG3 ain't gonna survive the game! In my view,kyle should get suspended and fined by the team if the league does'nt do it.

[PennSkinsFan]

True. TW is not that good himself, but he is a substantial improvement over a previous retiree.

[Crazy Horse]

Garcon has played a total of 8 snaps this season and still leads the team in receiving yards. He is more tantalizing than Malcolm Kelly.

It's just a case of the Redskins curse hitting yet again!

[ISF]

Why can't Trent Williams stay healthy is what I want to know. He didn't get rolled up which is what usually happens to an O lineman. He was trying to hold his ground on an edge block and still gets hurt? WTF?

[PennSkinsFan]

With the signing of Ryan Grant, I assume that either Royster or Helu may be a no go for Sunday.

Trent Williams is not only an average LT, but an injury prone tackle. Has been since he was drafted.

[Spence]

Don't agree with this at all. Williams is a very, very good left tackle and getting better all the time. I don't know about injury-prone. He was healthy last year. Can't count a positive drug test as an injury. The offensive line without Williams is a shambles. I like him and the Redskins need him badly.

I believe he missed two games prior to the suspension. He has missed games due to injury in both of his years in the league and it looks like it will soon be each of 3 years.

Helu Jr. to the IR, done for the year.

[PennSkinsFan]

Updated injuries. Trent Williams did not practice (knee) nor did Cedric Griffin (hamstring). Pierre Garcon, Brandon Merriweather, and Evan Royster were limited.

[Crazy Horse]

I Doubt our latest free agent bust will play sunday.according to another website,he stated he was just" a little bit better" and he said he"heals slowly".

[Seafin77]

DEPTH, Ashburn, it's all about DEPTH.

[BamaSkins]

Man, Pierre Garcon needs to invest in a hyperbaric chamber so he can heal faster. When i saw the play where he got injuried never in a million years would have said he would have missed 2 games much less 3.

As far as Trent williams is concerned, without him we are doomed. He is well above average for a LT and there is a significant dropoff when he is not in there. I think he has definitely had injury concerns through his short career so i hope this is not significant. Otherwise we have no chance.

[Spence]

I believe he missed two games prior to the suspension. He has missed games due to injury in both of his years in the league and it looks like it will soon be each of 3 years.
He missed two games to injury his rookie year and two games to injury his sophomore season. He might miss a game on Sunday, but we don't know it yet. I don't see that as injury-prone. Jammal Brown -- that's injury-prone. Also, Trent is generally fantastic when he's in there. I thought he was pretty good, but inconsistent until about October of last year, when he really started kicking ass. He was great in training camp and I think he's been good so far. Anyone who doesn't like the Redskins offensive line now should get a look at what it'll be like without Williams. Ugh.

Agree 100% with this . . . TW is by far the Skins best o-lineman and missing a game or two per year does not constitute injury prone IMO . . .

[ISF]

Ok, we need to come up with a definition or standard for injury prone because missing two games every year of your career seems like a good one for injury prone. Generally when you can't avoid the injury bug on a year to year basis you are considered injury prone.

[ISF]

I think we can take the lead from "accident-prone", which is the propensity to have more than the mean number of accidents. So substituting the word injury for accident, we get "Propensity to have more than the average number of injuries".

Now, if we can get some measures of central tendency from the NFL to describe the mean, median and mode we can accurately classify TW as being injury prone.

Accident prone can also be defined as "inclined to", such as having a preference, disposition, or tendency; "wasn't inclined to believe the excuse"; "inclined to be moody".

Will Montgomery, is not injury prone, by his games played, games started streak with Washington.

by that definition, than he is average . . . there are not many players that play 16 games every year, very few actually . . . that's why Farve's career was SO AMAZING as its unheard of to go that many games without injury, even at a position that is the most protected in the game . . .

[ISF]

Kevin Kolb, is he injury prone? Mike Vick? Matt Stafford? The key question what is the average number of games missed due to injury in the NFL.

having a hard time finding that info for o-lineman . . . here is the info for other offensive players . . . Source (RotoWorld): (http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nfl/40919/77/predicting-missed-games)


Final Baselines

Quarterback: 15 games played
Running Back: 14 games played
Wide Receiver: 15 games played
Tight End: 15 games played

and i would think o-lineman, with how much they weigh (weight places a lot of stress on the legs, knees especially) would be higher than the skill position players listed above . . .

[PennSkinsFan]

Cedric Griffin and Trent Williams did not practice today. Looks like Jordan Black is a go for Sunday. Poor Robert.

Garcon, Merriweather, Royster, and Banks were all limited.

they got to give black some help or rg3 will not make it through the 1st series. how could shanny and sr be so stupid to not address the obviousl holes in the oline in the offseason? and on top of that,we signed a WR that has played 1 quarter in 3 games!
only team in the league this would happen to time and time again is the redskins!

My bet is part of the problem in boasting depth was the $18 million cap penalty. Little funds to spread around and receiver was the main position lined up for significant upgrade.

[AubieTom]

Josh Morgan was not necessary, money should have been spent elsewhere as we said at the time. If Crawford is the third corner for a long period of time and Black at left tackle it will be a long season.

Agreed. They were high on Hankerson all along. So adding Garcon with Moss should have been enough. Wonder how many front offices it will take in Washington to learn that offensive lines can make mediocre teams good.

[ISF]

The thing that boggles my mind is that Willie Smith really regressed to the point he was WORSE than a guy who was out of football last year? I cannot fathom that. And after cutdowns to 53, there were no better options than Jordan Black to play on our bench? Really?

[ISF]

Don't forget, they tried to sign Eddie Royal too!!!!!!!

[Crazy Horse]

In my view,this stupid move by shanny may be the beginning of the end for him as redskins head coach,especially,if RG3 gets hurt because of it.

[AubieTom]

we should have kept Smith and should have put in a claim for Barksdale whom the Raiders cut this week (Rams got him)

[PennSkinsFan]

There you go. Garcon and TW listed as questionable.

[BamaSkins]

I was actually surprised we didnt try to get Barksdale. We seriously need help on the OL. I fear for RG3.

will be at least a week for Marriweather . . . Source (PFT): (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/10/01/meriweather-will-miss-at-least-a-week-after-pre-game-collision/)


Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather will miss at least a week and maybe more after aggravating the MCL and PCL injuries in his left knee in a pre-game collision with a teammate.

“I think we’ll be able to tell in a week’s time exactly the length it will be, but right now he will be out for the next game,” Redskins coach Shanahan said, via Rich Campbell of the Washington Times.

Robinson is day to day:


Robinson was knocked unconscious before he hit the ground, after Meriweather ran into him and their heads collided.

“He was knocked out for over a minute,” Shanahan said. “So any time you’re knocked out for that length of time, you go through a procedure according to the NFL. He’s been with the doctors today, and he feels very good right now. It looks good, but he’s going to have to take some tests over the next couple days. And if he looks OK and he passes those tests, he’ll be able to practice and potentially play. If not, then he’ll have to wait until his signs are correct.”

Thoughts??

[Crazy Horse]

That was some funny stuff even if we did get dumped on! how can you be that dumb?

Robinson is ok,but not meriweather.

I heard Jordan Pugh suffered a concussion in that game. Other than that, I think we were relatively unscathed.

The Vikings are suffering from a blistered backside as well.

Fr0om the reads, I would not count on Garcon again this week. Lets face it, for the next few weeks, the Redskins pass game will focus around Davis, Hankerson, Morgan, Moss, and Banks. Reality is, that is what it has been since the first half of week one.

yeah . . . i blame Shanny for this . . . all the talk a few weeks ago was Shanny saying it was just a matter of pain tolerance . . . seems to me, even it it didn't worsen the problem, it did keep it from healing as quickly as possible . . . they should have shut him down completely until it healed then . . . so now we don't have a choice . . . keep him on the shelf until his is 100% as the offense is doing just fine without him and with him at 100% they will be down right scary . . .

Latest report on Garcon is that his injury is actually a torn tendon in his foot.

From what I have read, recovery time could be 8-12 weeks from the initial injury. So he is out until at least after the bye week....maybe longer

Well that is news to me. a torn tendon? Umm isnt that something they could have found out earlier with an MRI but instead labelled it as a bruise? If it really is a torn tendon then that actually explains alot.

We should put him on IR and sign another wr to take his place.signing him was another huge free agent cluster*uc*! they should at least try out a few wrs just to see what they could do and how they look.

Burress is still out there . . . any takers?? (one year rental)

[PennSkinsFan]

Nick Sundberg has been cleared to practice.

Reality on receivers guys? Our offense is not struggling. Nor is the passing game. RGIII will get the ball to receivers, he hits a wide array. Unless Buress can play S or CB, I am not interested. That is where the problem lies.

doesn't he kick with his right leg?? when i had a torn meniscus in my right knee there is no way i could have kicked a football . . . thats actually how i tore it . . . seems odd he would continue to kick with a torn meniscus and to me that kicking a football would definitely seem like something that could worsen the tear

Thats what i was thinking, but then again i am not a doctor. But i would think this would definitely affect him, whether its his power or mental aspect of it. his punts are alot worse than last year so i thought something may be wrong with him.

[BamaSkins]

After the bye week should be getting Garcon back and that should open up our offense more. As long as he can hold onto the ball unlike our current WRs.

Also looks like Merriweather may finally play also. Which could help our defense and they need all the help they can get.

Should doing so not work, Garçon will need to make a decision on whether or not he should undergo surgery – something that would require a three- to four-month recovery, which he does not want to do.

“It will be a group decision between me, the coaches, the team, the organization,” Garçon said. “You know, we’re trying to avoid that at all possible cost, [but] at some time, you’ve got to be realistic and just have it and have successful surgery and recover from it.”

I was hoping Garcon would be ready to go. If he doesnt play this week and we lose then i say shut him down since we have to win out from here on out to make the playoffs. So if he cant help us get to the playoffs this year just shut him down for next year.

i hear you . . . it really sucks though . . . he got hurt on an 88 yard TD run and didn't look hurt at all after the play . . . so strange how something so small can cause so much pain . . .

If you watch that play near the end a DB swipes at his feet and i think that is where he got injuried cause he started limping right after that and once in the endzone you can see him pull up so something happened at the end there.

[Crazy Horse]

They have to put him on IR,but i doubt they sign another wr to take his place unless it is somebody familar with the offense,like anthony armstong who just got cut again.

Here is your official injury list for tomorrow.

[PennSkinsFan]

Keenan Robinson to have an MRI. Shanny doesn't sound optimist. Suspected pec tear.

No word on London Fletcher except ankle is pretty sore.

[PennSkinsFan]

Trent Williams and London Fletcher were both limited at practice. Said we are keeping our fingers crossed. Gulp.
He then said both players have 'significant' injuries.

[PennSkinsFan]

Good news so far is that RG3 went to the post game podium not on crutches.

[PennSkinsFan]

RG3 said that doctors told him the ligaments felt good. Good sign. Sounds like he may have passed a preliminary ACL test.

[PennSkinsFan]

RG3 will have an MRI tonight.

[Seafin77]

That's the same knee he had a torn ACL in 2009 which sidelined him for almost a year.

[SkinsGuru]

RG3 said that doctors told him the ligaments felt good. Good sign. Sounds like he may have passed a preliminary ACL test.

and RGIII wanted to come back even after going out the second time stating that he knows its not an ACL as he's dealt with that before . . . i SURE HOPE SO!!

[PennSkinsFan]

Here is the update. RGII is questionable.

Will Montgomery said today that he will play Sunday. Polumbus indicated that he will too. Looks like the starting 5 will return for Philly.

Will Montgomery said today that he will play Sunday. Polumbus indicated that he will too. Looks like the starting 5 will return for Philly.

and RGIII practiced FULLY today as well . . . looks like we are going to be as close to a full squad as we can be . . . .

[ISF]

It is needed. The starting 5 playing together all season is one of the chief reasons for the success of the offense.

[PennSkinsFan]

According to beat reporters, RGII is practicing again today. There doe snot appear to be any setbacks, he is practicing fully.

Tyler Polumbus was not on the field. Not looking good for him on Sunday. With Jordan Black's bogus suspension, looks like rookie Tom Compton could make his first NFL start. Good opportunity for a kid with high upside to make an impact on coaches.

[PennSkinsFan]

As for the status of Will Montgomery, he said after practice today, "Im good to go." Polumbus is a different story. He did not practice today.

[PennSkinsFan]

Tyler Polumbus did practice today with no limitations. Sounds like he will be good to go for Sunday.

[SkinsGuru]

Tyler Polumbus did practice today with no limitations. Sounds like he will be good to go for Sunday.

then it looks like the same o-line will be starting anyway . . . hopefully they are healthy enough to be effective . . .

Who are the Redskins getting back for the playoffs?

Why am I listed as a Junior member with a join date of Jan 2013? I tried to sign in using the same name I've used before, same password I've always used, yet I'm now a new member.

I'm not a 100% sure on this, but it might have something to do with post total as opposed to join date.

The forum was reset when the change to Bloguin occurred. All members had to reregister. More importantly, welcome back. Glad to have ya back

[PennSkinsFan]

Litchesteiger did not practice again today. He says he has been told he is a game time decision.

[PennSkinsFan]

RG3 MRI coming tomorrow. Won't know anything until then. RG3 himself says he has no idea. Doesn't sound good. Last time, in Baltimore,m he was pretty confident it wasn't an ACL.

[Seafin77]

That would be his 2nd torn ACL in the right knee. If so that's very bad news. From what I read repeat surgeries are more complicated and less succesful.
