3:45 p.m.: Wide receiver Chris Hogan exited the New England Patriots’ game against the Los Angeles Chargers with what appeared to be a right shoulder injury.
3:10 p.m.: To say the Washington Redskins are banged up against the Dallas Cowboys this afternoon would be an understatement.
So the Redskins will be without a starting CB, their top two LTs, their C, their RG, a top ILB, their top DT, and.. well you get the point.
