Monday was only the first day of OTAs, but the injury bug is already biting the Redskins.
Linebacker
Reuben Foster was carted off the field with a leg injury after the third snap of 11 vs. 11 play. Per Craig Hoffman, Foster "went to defend a bootleg and let out a yelp and immediately grabbed his knee in tremendous pain."

May 20, 2019 "It's far too early to know just how bad it is, but it's bad," Hoffman told Grant & Danny Monday. "His reaction said that it was something serious and painful, and for that to happen on the third play of OTAs is pretty remarkable."
"Clearly, the minds of this organization are with their inside linebacker right now who went down with what might be a fairly catastrophic injury here in the first team session of the spring."
