The Washington Football Team is on a roll after winning its fourth straight game Sunday, defeating the Las Vegas Raiders 17-15. But it'll likely have to keep that momentum going without one of its key weapons on offense.
Washington tight end Logan Thomas suffered what is likely a torn ACL and MCL late in the game, according to multiple reports, pending MRI results.
Thomas was injured while attempting to block Raiders defensive end Yannick Ngakoue on a running play with about 10 minutes to play in the fourth quarter. With Thomas coming across the middle to clear out the running lane, Ngakoue went low to avoid being blocked, striking Thomas with a direct hit to the legs.
Thomas, who previously missed six games with a hamstring injury, had made a seamless transition back into the starting lineup since returning in Week 12, catching six balls for 79 yards and a touchdown as a primary target of quarterback Taylor Heinicke in wins against the Seahawks and Raiders. In six games this season, he has 18 catches for 196 yards and three touchdowns.
