[NewCliche21]

Nevermind our team's medical staff is a couple notches down from F- and the swelling went down so now they could finally see

God I hate the dirty, dirty hit

Edited December 14, 2021 by NewCliche21
Our med staff and swelling and of course it effing tore

[Cooleyfan1993]

**** everythinggggg. RSJ come back!! 

[Warhead36]

Sucks. He's over 30 also, so it might be time to invest in an athletic TE in the draft. There were some really good ones available for us in the mid rounds this past year, like Friermuth and Tremble who have both been really good.

[CousinsCowgirl84]

Tough, bad hit but I don’t think the guy was trying to hurt him…

Bates has (by all accounts) been a dominant run blocker.  That was a dirty hit.

Hes signed for two more years isn’t he? I’d be fine with drafting a TE that can fill in (and execute nicely if need be). Hopefully bates becomes that guy with time

Washington's Logan Thomas feared to have suffered torn ACL, MCL in win over Las Vegas Raiders, source says

9:59 PM ET

 

John KeimESPN Staff Writer

LAS VEGAS -- The Washington Football Team's four-game win streak was muted by more bad injury news: Tight end Logan Thomas' season could be over.

 

A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday night that the team fears that Thomas suffered a torn ACL and MCL late in its 17-15 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

 

Thomas will undergo more tests Monday after Washington returns home.

 

Losing Thomas would be a big blow to Washington, which is now 6-6 and two games behind first-place Dallas in the NFC East. The WFT currently holds the sixth playoff spot in the NFC with five games remaining.

 

Thomas has been Washington's top red zone target and its most productive tight end in that area over the last two years. He entered Sunday leading all tight ends with 144 yards receiving in the red zone over the past two seasons -- despite missing six games this season with a hamstring injury.

 

On Sunday, he showed his worth in that area when he made a leaping one-handed grab in the back of the end zone for a 7-yard touchdown. He caught three passes for 48 yards. In six games this season, Thomas caught 14 passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns.

 

Washington signed Thomas to a three-year contract extension worth up to $24.05 million in August. That came after his breakout 2020 season, when he caught 72 passes for 670 yards and six touchdowns. He established himself as a pivotal player within Washington's offense.

 

Without Thomas, Washington will have to rely on Ricky Seals-Jones, who has missed the past three games with a hip injury. But he was able to return to practice last week, albeit in a limited fashion. He was inactive Sunday because of the injury. The WFT also have rookie John Bates and Sammis Reyes.

 

In the five games Seals-Jones played after Thomas was hurt, he caught a combined 20 passes for 192 yards and a touchdown. For the season, he has 23 catches for 230 yards and two scores. Bates is primarily a blocker, but he's caught nine passes for 74 yards this season.

 

Washington has been banged up lately yet continues to win. Sunday, it played without running back J.D. McKissic (concussion) and safety/linebacker Landon Collins (foot). Defensive end Chase Young is out for the year with a torn ACL, and fellow end Montez Sweat has not played during the four-game streak because of a jaw injury. The team started its fourth center, Keith Ismael, on Sunday.

Thought so too at first glance. Might have to watch it again. Maybe I’ll change my mind 

[Malapropismic Depository]

What's the prognosis on Ricky Seals Jones ?

[Spaceman Spiff]

This is sad.  Seems like a good dude, worked hard to get back.

 

But if we're just looking at this season, we've gotten this far largely without him.  Certainly wish he was here the rest of the way but the offense has gotten by without him and found an identity.  Run it, ball control.  

 

[FootballZombie]

Dude was high-5ing after the GW field goal.

 

He is tough

[Malapropismic Depository]

I'm gonna hold out hope for the un-Likely

Horrible injury to a great player.  Here's hoping that Bates can continue his solid play and that RSJ comes back for Dal@ss.  Reyes may need to be coached up if they get real thin at TE

[OMacAttack]

Bummer to hear about this I missed the play.  Hope he recovers quickly.

[COWBOY-KILLA-]

Totally sucks. He was just rounding back into form. Get well LT!

RSJ and Bates opportunity awaits. 

[Silvernon]

Logan took some huge hits in his time back. Hate to see go out with this. So underrated. 

[Going Commando]

He's going to be back.  He is a hard worker and a tough guy who has made his way back from injury before.

[BC-Redskins]

When saw RR on pitch knew it would be bad.

He’s a tough dude and hope he’s back soon

 

RSJ and bates to step up for Dallas !!

[Est.1974]

Very underrated player, will be a loss. Looking forward to see what Bates can do in a more expanded role hopefully.

[Commander PK]

Sucks, you hate to see anyone go out like this.  I wish him all the best for a quick recovery.   

[Koolblue13]

I'm really high on Bates, so its exciting to see what he can do. Logans great and he'll be back. Wonder if we'll see some Reyes now.

[TradeTheBeal!]

Dirty play and a cheap shot.  I’m gonna be mad about this one for a while.

 

Get well soon, Logan!

[DJHJR86]

Sucks.  Logan Thomas was a great weapon for Heinicke.  Bailed him out on that touchdown pass too.

[Going Commando]

I still don't understand why it was a penalty when Abram dove at Scherff's legs to try and make a play but not when Ngakoue dove at Logan's?  Why don't TEs get that kind of protection?

 

Raiders have been the only team this season I can remember that seem coached to dive at the legs of blockers when they are in the process of losing their fit.  **** them.
