So...no Su'a, Phillips, Dox or Bree for this game. Kerrigan questionable.

Dox is being considered for IR.

Yep, saw that. Even more reason we should have PUP him at the beginning of the season. Just posted something in the other thread about that from Manny that I agree with.

Little more back room politics would be my guess. Looks bad to pass on your biggest need, and have the guy you drafted instead NOT even make it into the season. I know injuries happen. But I think he was rushed back to avoid questions.

Think Manny nails it here

Excerpt


The Redskins should have put Josh Doctson on the physically unable to perform list at the beginning of the season. A known fact about Achilles Tendon injuries is that not only do they tend to linger, they often are prone to have "flare-ups." I'm no doctor, but I think the Redskins should've sat him for the first month of football. Now, in October, the former TCU receiver is going on two weeks without practice and will miss his second consecutive game. If it hasn't healed by now, I don't expect it to heal.


An off-season consensus was that the Redskins were being forward-thinkers when they drafted Josh Doctson round one. Many figured that the Redskins were not expecting to use Doctson much this season anyway. However, I'd argue if that was totally true, they would've sat him at the beginning of the season. Their actions tell a different story than those off-season assumptions. The Redskins wanted to use Doctson early and often this season. That was their expectation. If they weren't depending on using him, then why did GM Scot McCloughan injure himself this off-season after hearing unflattering news about Doctson's health? Again, why not start him on the PUP list? Not to mention, at this point, why keep him on the active roster? The Redskins are the kid who opened a great gift for Christmas only to find out the gift doesn't work. Even if he miraculously gets healthy, he is not an Odell Beckham Jr. who could enter the league without much practice and dominate.

Although I understand the point of putting Docs on PUP, what did a few weeks cost them? A practice squad player? It isn't like they cut a top flight player so they could keep him on the roster.

The starting center in Cleveland maybe? Doctson's season was over when he missed all of training camp.

REALLY need Preston to show up with some sacks (not just pressures) today. Perfect opportunity for him.

Where is the prop bet that Jay will be discussing the 'wind' in his post game presser?
