Logan Paulsen out for season

Paul must have surgery to fix a fractured and dislocated left ankle, and Paulsen will have surgery on Monday to fix a torn ligament in his right big toe.

Redskins coach Jay Gruden said that Paul’s injury will require him to sit out the entire 2015 season. “Any team in the NFL, I could be their third tight end”.

The injury came during the 20-17 win over the Cleveland Browns, when Paul was placed on a cart prior to the medical staff putting an air-tight cast on his left leg.

Gruden says Washington will work out a couple of possible additions at tight end. Jordan Reed, 6-2, 237, is the most adept receiver among the tight ends but opened the preseason in his too familiar spot on the injury list with a tweaked hamstring. “It’s him as a person and the energy that he brings to every practice”.

The injury to Paul will shift Reed into the starting role.

But the tight end Gruden confirmed as being out for the year August 15 was not Paul.

Carolina Panthers’ running back Brandon Wegher (32) dives in for the winning touchdown against the Buffalo Bills during the second half at a pre-season NFL football game at Ralph Wilson Stadium yesterday.

Dixon, who played at the University of Central Arkansas and spent last season on the Redskins’ practice squad, would prefer the circumstances were different. Washington also has Devin Mahina, a 26-year-old rookie from BYU with excellent size (6-foot-6, 265 pounds), who is more of a blocker than a passing threat. “I have no doubt”, he said. We’ve just got to do what we can do.
