There was hope before the 2018 season that the Washington Redskins would have better injury luck this year. Last season, they ended the year as the team with the most players on injured reserve, and they essentially limped to a 7-9 record. The injuries were often cited as a reason for Jay Gruden to get another year to prove himself.
Unfortunately, it appears Gruden simply can’t get a fair shake. The Redskins’ injury woes started early, with Derrius Guice being lost to an ACL tear before the start of the regular season. There was a downward swoon in injury action as the Redskins shot out to a 5-2 record, but since that fast start, things have fallen apart, and just as quickly.
