Adam Hayward tore his ACL Thursday night

The concussion suffered by Robert Griffin III might be the most discussed injury news to come out of Thursday night’s Redskins game, but it wasn’t the only injury that the team suffered.

And, unlike Griffin, linebacker Adam Hayward isn’t going to be playing football again anytime soon. According to multiple reports, Hayward tore his right ACL in the game against the Lions.

Hayward doesn’t play much on defense for the Redskins, but he was their special teams captain last season and was going to play a major role on those units again this season.
