Washington Redskins vs Indianapolis Colts Injury Reports; Trent Williams, Jason Hatcher, Jordan Reed Expect to Play

The Washington Redskins are returning to their early season form in injury reporting.  With 9 Redskins listed, we aren't back to double digits yet.  But the team did lose two players for the season after placing them on injured reserve.  On Monday, special teams captain Adam Hayward went to IR after getting a tibial plateau fracture vs the 49ers last week.  And in more devastating news to the Weekly Injury Reports, we have lost our very own captain and IR All-Star Tracy Porter to the real IR for the season due to a shoulder injury(AC joint separation).  You will be missed sir, rest up, and prepare yourself for another spectacular season on the injury reports next year.

The Redskins had 7 players listed as questionable for tomorrow's game against the Colts, but E.J. Biggers has now been ruled OUT for the game due to a concussion he got last week.  Biggers was not at practice all week, and has not cleared the league-mandated concussion protocol.  Coach Gruden said that several players could see time at nickelback this week to replace him, including Trenton Robinson, Greg Ducre!, and the Chase Minnifield who was re-signed from the practice squad when Porter went to IR.  Robinson said this week that he was practicing at safety only this week, and Greg Ducre!, who saw playing time and his first career interception last week, has been practicing on the outside behind Bashaud Breeland and David Amerson.  Phillip Thomas' name has also been mentioned as a possibility, so stay tuned.

Jason Hatcher has been on the injury report this week due to issues with his knee.  He had a knee scope done in the offseason but it is the other knee this time.  He says he had an MRI done that came back clean, and it was just some lingering pain.  Hatcher sounded like he had every intention to play tomorrow, but he did not practice Wednesday and Thursday, and was limited yesterday.  Expect his snaps to be limited if he is active.

Defensive End/Nose Tackle Chris Baker was limited all week after injuring his sternum two weeks ago.  He missed last week's game, but is also planning on being active tomorrow.

Free Safety Ryan Clark has been limited all week due to a shoulder injury/stinger that was likely caused by a helmet to helmet collision last week that he was penalized for.  Clark is also dealing with a torn biceps.  As usual, expect Clark to be on the field tomorrow.

Silas Redd, Jr. is dealing with a rib injury he got last weekend in San Francisco.  He went from limited, to did not practice, and back to limited participation in practice yesterday.

TE Jordan Reed missed last week with another hamstring injury.  After being limited the first two days of practice this week, he was able to practice fully yesterday.  He expects to play tomorrow.

Trent Williams was forced to miss his first game of the season last week due to an MCL sprain in his knee.  He has been playing through knee issue for most of the season, but this one was serious enough to rest him, and give Morgan Moses his first start.  Moses did not look great against an aggressive 49ers defense, and new starting QB Colt McCoy will be thankful if Williams can play tomorrow.  He was full at practice the last two days and expects to start tomorrow.

The two Redskins listed as probable this week are CB Bashaud Breeland and DL Kedric Golston.  Both of them are listed for back issues, both of them were full at practice all week, and both should be active tomorrow.

The Colts actually had 13 players listed on their injury report this week.  They have 4 players ruled out for tomorrow's game including a player who was in training camp with the Redskins last year, OT Xavier Nixon.  Only two players are listed as questionable(S Colt Anderson and CB Darius Butler), with the rest listed as probable.
