They additionally lost cornerback Marshon Lattimore (torn ACL) and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey (collarbone fracture) on game day, and have a number of other starters on the injury list. The Washington squad are 3-6 on the season, and it would require a huge turnaround for the club to make the postseason.
