No Richburg, Pugh, Donnell, and Herzlich at Practice Today

...

Terrific.

So I guess it's going to be Flowers-Jerry-Reynolds-Schwartz-Newhouse on Sunday.

And WTF is up with Pugh? Didn't they initially declare it dehydration?

Concussion protocol > dehydration > concussion.

reports are that Chris Culliver probably tore his ACL in practice.

A rest day for Richburg

Thanks for information.

I'm hoping it's a rest day for Richburg.

Big loss for Skins, if true.

BBI update with full injury report and articles...
Weston Richburg, Justin Pugh, Larry Donnell Miss Practice - ( New Window )

I read on another thread that he has a past history of concussions. That is NOT good for the young man not only for now but for way beyond. I'm praying for him.

Is anyone aware of his past concussion history? I haven't read it from anyone / anywhere official?

Finally, if Culliver is out that is huge for us. I just hope Eli has time to attack his replacement.

I would be happy if he is back by the end of the season. I have no expectation of him playing this week. If he does you are really playing with fire because if he reaggrevates it then he is likely done for the rest of the year.

I can't recall Justin Pugh suffering another concussion. He had elbow and quadriceps injuries last year. But it's been 18 days since he suffered the injury (and he practiced before the Pats game).

Richburg...hopefully he didn't make it worse by practicing yesterday.

Washington Injury report: (DNP) Robinson, Jeron Johnson (Limited) Culliver, Everett, Goldson, Jason Hatcher, Keenan Robinson, Trent Williams


Culliver's status doesn't make sense. He has a torn ACL.

Culliver tore his ACL in practice.

Is what Nicks can help us with

Pugh suffered a concussion on one of the first days of training camp as a rookie and was out about 10 days.

This is Coughlin quote from that time (from nj.com):

"On Pugh, Coughlin added that it 'scares the heck out of you' when a concussion occurs in a relatively non-violent setting. 'These things happen,' Coughlin said, 'they happen in the most unusual ways.'"

Link is to another nj.com story on the concussion from August 2013.

Nice find...I had forgotten about that.

Has that been confirmed, or is it still just speculation at this point?

Not confirmed, but feared....

I truly dont know why he was limited. His ass shouldn't be on the field if he can't fully practice. This can be up to a six month injury. Him being limited tells me he isn't fully healed hence he shouldn't even be on the field right now. With our track record of injuries we shouldn't be fucking around with this. Normally I wouldnt criticize these things but this makes no sense to me at all.

#Redskins CB Chris Culliver has torn his MCL and ACL, source said. His MRI was completed and he's out for the season. Horrible development

Don't they normally do this, give him a go and then see how he feels the next day. If he is good then go full on the Saturday fast practice?

My impression is that if the player doesn't practice on Thursday, he doesn't play on Sunday.

Does a high ankle sprain get worse if you're on the ankle? Or is it more of an issue with excruciating pain?

You can definitely make a sprain worse.

It gets worse. Basically what happens is that the two bones in your shin split and slide down your foot. You need rest.

Makes sense, thanks.

I am very sorry for him. That's awful. Prayers and best wishes for him, and a speedy and full recovery.

Didn't richburg refute that it was high ankle?

no, it was confirmed it was a "mild" high ankle sprain.

devastating. THe biggest problem they had last year was the middle of the OL collapsing with regularity.

to play a playoff game (if it came to that) seems like a daunting task...

With two starting linemen down, it looks like we may revert back to the short passing game to keep Eli out of harm's way this week.

Did he hit himself in the head with a water bottle while re-hydrating?
