Redskins-Eagles Week 7 Live Thread
On the injury front, Ronald Darby (ankle), Jordan Hicks (calf), Mychal Kendricks (hamstring), and Wendell Smallwood (knee) are all listed as questionable. This is the first time since the first week of the season that Darby is not listed “out.” However, don’t expect him to play tonight. Lane Johnson will also be back after missing last Thursday’s game against the Panthers with a concussion.
For the Redskins, cornerback Josh Norman, and backup offensive linemen Ty Nsekhe and Tyler Catalina are out. Cornerback Bashaud Breeland, safeties Deshazor Everett and Stefan McClure, linebacker Mason Foster, running back Rob Kelley, and offensive tackle Trent Williams are all listed as questionable. Breeland is expected to play, but it’s unknown how effective he will be. Kelley should also play.
Williams is trying to delay necessary knee surgery until after the season.
Back in Week 1, the Eagles defeated the Redskins 30-17.
We’ll continually update this post as the game goes along. And check out our predictions to see how good (or probably bad) we guessed this game.
