Since being drafted in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, Ryan Kerrigan has been an iron man for the Washington Redskins. He has never missed a start, appearing in 139 straight games, and has totaled 89 career sacks.
However, it appears that his streak will be coming to an end on Sunday.
Kerrigan has been absent from practice all week after suffering a concussion late in last week’s win over the Detroit Lions. With him remaining in the NFL’s concussion protocol for so long, it seemed highly unlikely that he would be able to suit up against the Carolina Panthers.
