Chris Culliver tore his ACL and MCL in Thanksgiving practice
Breeland missed Friday’s practice due to illness and was listed as questionable, but is expected to play.
In a season that has been filled with injuries to starters, Junior Galette, Duke Ihenacho, Shawn Lauvao, Kory Lichtensteiger, Niles Paul, Culliver is another casualty to be placed on injured reserve. “Unfortunately it happened. It was fluke deal”.
We learned on Thursday that Redskins cornerback Chris Culliver tore his ACL during the team’s practice, but that’s not the only knee ligament he’ll have to rehab before next season. “He jumped up for the ball, landed on it”.
Gruden said about Breeland: “Hopefully it’s just a 24-hour bug or something like that”. Everett was limited with a left hamstring injury, but said he felt “pretty confident” running at practice.
Culliver was also dealing with a shoulder injury this week that required an MRI and was going to lead to a second opinion before he could be cleared play in Sunday’s game against the New York Giants at FedExField. In two career games against the Redskins, Beckham has a combined 19 receptions for 222 yards and four touchdowns.
“He’s a good player for us obviously and you hate to lose good players”, Gruden said.
“He hurt his knee a little bit out there”, Gruden told reporters.
“[Defensive backs] Coach [Perry] Fewell, he’s been schooling these other guys up, and that’s what pro football’s all about”, Gruden said. These guys are ready.
