Josh Norman to Miss Multiple Weeks After Suffering Ribs Injury vs. Chiefs

The Washington Redskins secondary could be in trouble, as the team announced cornerback Josh Norman suffered an injury to his ribs Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Lisa Salters reported on the ESPN broadcast that Washington head coach Jay Gruden expects Norman to be out "at least a couple of weeks," per the Washington Post's Jake Russell.

To say Norman—who hasn't missed a game since 2014—is a linchpin for the Redskins on the back end would be an understatement.

During his first year in the nation's capital, Norman cemented his reputation as a dominant shutdown presence by tallying three interceptions and 19 defended passes to go with 67 total tackles and a pair of forced fumbles.
