Injuries happen. It’s a part of football. That being said, the Redskins are getting hit by the injury bug extra hard this year, to such a degree that it may put their playoff hopes in jeopardy. Ian Rapoport reported earlier today that starting ILB Mason Foster will need surgery for a torn labrum suffered earlier in the season.

The loss of Foster will loom large on the Redskins’ defense.
