The Redskins have suffered another big injury on defense. After missing the first nine games of the season with a left knee sprain, Brandon Meriweather suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during a non-contact play in the third quarter of Sunday’s 31-6 victory over the Eagles. The veteran safety will miss the remainder of the season, Coach Mike Shanahan said Monday at Redskins Park.
Although Meriweather was sidelined for all but a half this season, those two quarters were brilliant ones. Before getting hurt, he had made seven tackles, intercepted a pass, defended two others and made a tackle for a loss against struggling Philadelphia.
This really hurts as Meriweather was a big improvement to a struggling Redskins secondary. Injuries happen and it's part of the game. Still, this is a big loss.
Hopefully he recovers and comes back strong next season.
