Injuries to hurt Redskins?

The Redskins are having a good season so far. They are at 6-2 and second in the competitive NFC East Division. Since this division includes the defending Super Bowl champions New York Giants, as well as the ever-strong Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles, second place is not too shabby. There is no one in the division below .500 this season, so it’s going to be tough competition all the way through November and December. But all is not well in Redskin-land. Washington has been piling up injuries this year. The biggest challenge they have is trying to make up for the injury of Jason Taylor, who was injured in a game against Arizona in September. He had an emergency operation on his calf and has had more surgery on it this week. He will probably not play next week against the Steelers and possibly not for a few more weeks. There are also injuries to one of the Redskin running backs as well as a safety and an offensive tackle. The players will have to be flexible, in order to make up for some of those losses, if they want to stay in contention in this big division.
