The Washington Football Team suffered a brutal blow to their defense this week.
According to 106.7 The Fan’s Grant Paulsen, defensive end Montez Sweat could miss up to a month with a fracture in his jaw, which he sustained in Sunday’s loss to the Denver Broncos.
Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the fracture does not require surgery but he is prohibited from physical contact for a month while also altering his diet.
The third-year pass rusher out of Mississippi State was putting together a solid season thus far in 2021. He had four sacks, two forced fumbles and 19 tackles through eight games.
Washington, who sits third in the NFC East at 2-6, has a bye this week and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on deck in Week 10.
