SavageForce21 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I just saw on NFL Network that Adam Schefter (sp?) is reporting that Marcus Washington will be out for 2 weeks due to his elbow injury. Thank goodness that it's only 2 weeks. Marcus ready for the reg season baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking Deadman Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 This is really great news.....Marcus really didn't need the pre-season anyway. Get well and we'll see you at the opener!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnhay Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Wasn't there supposed to be a Gibbs presser at 6? There's a "watch now" option on Redskins.com, but nothing comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageForce21 Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Yeah, Marcus is the heart and leader of this defense. I like his intensity and the way he's always encouraging everyone else on the team. He's definitely my second favorite Redskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nace14 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 all these injuries are staged. portis said he was going to turn preseason into a spa, so he paid our stars off to fake injuries along with him to stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Marcus has more integrity and personal pride than to do something like that. He's a competitor and as long as his teammates are out there in the pre-season he'll try to be out there with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 It's because he's not a ***** like Lito Sheppard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins&Terps07 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 If it's only two weeks that would be awesome. Having Marcus along with Flecthcer, Rocky and Lamar gives us some serious linebacker depth. It's like we picked up two solid linebackers over the offseason. No more highway 57 and all that nonsense.

Vinnick Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Its good Lemar is on the roster. The OLB is his natural spot, and has started there before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C26 Run Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Two weeks? For a dislocated elbow? That's it. This injury unfortunately is going to linger into the season. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 There's a "watch now" option on Redskins.com, but nothing comes up. I have the same problem. Kinda like it has ADD......jumping up and down trying to get open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTaylor42 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Great News!!! That means He'll be ready around the beginning of the season. Lets all hope we can escape pre-season with no more serious injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Great news. MW back for the season opener and the chance for guys to get experience. With the way guys are stepping up this is a win/win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bantu Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Two weeks? For a dislocated elbow? That's it. This injury unfortunately is going to linger into the season. :helmet: Very true. With dislocations, the tendons are still overstretched despite the joint(s) being put back in place. He'll have to have surgery on it eventually, probably after the season ends. He'll also have to wear a brace all season to keep the tendons intact. My major concern with this is the fact that MW was going to be counted on to rush the passer. This injury could really hinder his hand-to-hand combat with blockers. As an LB, we know he is not a power rusher, but it is rare that an end can rush the passer without some sort move to shed the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely going to be an injury that will be looked at throughout the season . . . and I wouldn't be surprised if it affects his tackling and his ability to shed blockers.
