“It’s hard for us just because we know how dynamic he’s been,” Washington coach Ron Rivera said. “When you lose guys like that, that are productive contributors, the other guys have got to pick up. We like the other guys.”
Washington still has veteran tight end John Bates, known more for his run blocking, and second-year Cole Turner, known more for his receiving. Both, however, are able to handle the other aspects of the position.
Both have three catches for a combined 84 yards.
Washington’s fourth tight end, Curtis Hodges, has been inactive the first two games.
