Redskins injuries hard to source, but trend easy to spot
To win in football, a team needs, at the very least, a degree of good health.
Injuries are inevitable. They will happen, and they will be met with a response of some sort. Individually, teams must try to withstand, and they do this first by preparing a backup to step in and help the team function with little turnover. Once the backup is injured, however, the situation deteriorates rapidly. New faces are brought in, unfamiliar with the schemes and their teammates, and often of lower pedigree. Teams lose depth. Teams lose cohesion. And ultimately, teams lose.
For most, it never goes this far. But the Washington Redskins are different.
