What? Dom Easley not on that list? He should have been the 1st one on it.

The Redskins loosing ISLB'er Foster is a loss but they do have a very smart young veteran who has started before in reserve in Will Compton.

Wow, that's awful. When I watched it I was wondering if it was similar to what Teddy Bridgewater had happen last year. There was talk of losing the leg then as well. Hope they succeed.

Injuries: Teddy Bridgewater could be back Week 10
Teddy Bridgewater is moving closer toward making his season debut for the Minnesota Vikings.
Bridgewater, who missed all of last season and the first eight games of 2017 because of a devastating knee injury, could potentially play in Week 10 for the Vikings, a source informed of the situation told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
"The expectation now is Teddy Bridgewater is healthy enough to return to the team and on the field after the bye [week]," Rapoport reported Sunday on NFL GameDay Kickoff. "If that happens, expect him to be activated off the [physically unable to perform] list and then compete for the starting job. This is a player they consider to be their franchise quarterback. I would not be surprised, based on what I know, that he's under center soon."
As for Sam Bradford, there's no timeline for his return from a knee injury that has sidelined him for a good portion of the season.
"It doesn't sound like Sam Bradford will be ready soon," Rapoport said. "They do have the bye week coming up, but Bradford did not practice this past week. Last I checked in, he was still dealing with some knee pain that kept him off the field for most of this season. There is, at this point, no timeline for his return."

My most disliked NFL team keeps on catching big breaks.....The Seattle Seabirds will face a destroyed Skins OL this week.

Texans lose Christian Covington to torn biceps

The Texans defense will likely be without defensive end Christian Covington for the rest of the season.
Covington tore his biceps in Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks and coach Bill O’Brien said on Monday that Covington is not expected to play again this year.
“It’s too bad for him, because he was really playing at a high level,” O’Brien said, via ESPN.com. “It’s too bad for us, too.”
Covington, a 2015 sixth-round pick, saw his playing time increase a great deal when J.J. Wattwas lost for the season. He started the last two games and had 16 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble for the year.
Joel Heath, Carlos Watkins and Kendall Langford are other defensive end options. Langford was inactive for Sunday’s game.

When did this current CBA go into affect with the reduced practice schedule?
I see too many casualties!
Torn ACL confirmed for Texans QB Watson
ESPN's Adam Schefter and the Houston Chronicle confirm Deshaun Watson tore his ACL in Thursday's practice, and will undergo season-ending surgery.
It's his right ACL. Watson tore his left ACL at Clemson. Aaron Wilson reports Watson will be ready for the start of the 2018 season. Even in a year riddled with superstar injuries — Andrew Luck, David Johnson, Odell Beckham, J.J. Watt and Aaron Rodgers, to name a few — this is the biggest blow yet. Watson is the NFL's brightest quarterback prospect in years. His loss is a season-ruining event for the Texans, and at least for Week 9, forces Tom Savage under center. Savage arguably isn't good enough to even be on a 53-man roster, let alone start NFL games. The Texans will need to explore other solutions.

Well it is rotoworld. The biggest dickheads in the nfl media.
You should have read what they said about Goff every week until they couldn't deny his good play anymore.

Feel for the guy and the Teams fans, he was definitely on for OROY and in the mix for MVP IMO. Best start from a rookie QB I've seen in a while too.
