Redskins' Kyshoen Jarrett out vs. Packers, Kory Lichtensteiger back
ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins safety Kyshoen Jarrett suffered nerve damage to his arm and will miss Sunday’s playoff game against the Packers.
Redskins coach Jay Gruden said they’re concerned with the nerve that affects Jarrett’s right arm and more tests are needed.
Jarrett, a rookie sixth-round draft pick, has been a big help this season. He can play as a slot corner in the Redskins' nickel coverage and safety in their base alignment. Jarrett also is a strong special teams contributor. He’s listed at 5-foot-10 and 200 pounds, but he’s one of the Redskins’ more aggressive players.
“That’ll hurt us,” Gruden said. “It has an effect, it really does because he’s so versatile.”
