Marshall came out of the game after only two carries for one yard, and was evaluated for a lower-leg injury. Marshall underwent an MRI, coach Gruden says, reporting back that "everything's okay."

The Redskins have had some hard luck at running back already, last week losing second-round draft pick Derrius Guice for the season with a torn ACL. Guice is slated to undergo surgery on Friday. They also lost Samaje Perine on his first run of the night, which went for a 30-yard gain, with an apparent ankle injury.

That leaves the Redskins down to Chris Thompson, Rob Kelley, Kapri Bibbs and Martez Carter.
