Dashon Goldson, Quinton Dunbar ruled out for Redskins’ game vs. Cowboys

He got a measure of redemption when he caught the game-tying touchdown from Kirk Cousins shortly after that, but the Cowboys marched back down the field and won on a field goal from Dan Bailey.

Starting free safety Dashon Goldson has been ruled out for the Redskins’ regular season finale at Dallas on Sunday, along with cornerback Quinton Dunbar, Coach Jay Gruden announced Friday following the team’s final full practice before kickoff at AT&T Stadium. Left tackle Trent Williams, who was listed with knee and foot injuries, also did not participate. Hall and Williams both said they would be ready to play against the Cowboys if needed. Williams’ knee swelled some after the Philadelphia game.

There are many needs for this young, growing team and they can be filled with this draft in which the Redskins now have eight picks over the course of seven rounds. “But he just kept getting treatment, and we took a look at him in pregame, said he was going to be alright – still was a little concerned – and he just went out there and played great, one of his better games that he’s played”.

The Redskins (8-7) clinched the NFC East title and will host a wild-card round game, no matter what happens Sunday.

“I would be lying if I said I’m not going to pay attention to it”, the Pro Bowler said Wednesday.

Garrett will preach that each week is about preparing to win football games. Last year, after the Cowboys went 12 – 4, Garrett signed a five year contract extension for $30 million. “I think it’s a pretty fluid situation”.

Now that Cousins has proven himself over the past couple of months, passing for about 2,500 yards, 20 touchdowns and just three interceptions following a slow start, the Redskins need to start building around their new franchise QB. “The guys that are able to play are planning on playing and competing”.

“I’d say that’s a coaches’ decision, not mine, but I can only speak for myself – I feel good and I want to play”, Cousins said.
