CLEVELAND — Niles Paul will miss the upcoming season after breaking his left ankle in the Washington Redskins‘ preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday, coach Jay Gruden said.
“I’m sick about it,” Gruden said after the Redskins defeated the Browns, 20-17. “He means a lot to this team — in the locker room, on the field, off the field, so you know, we’re upset about it, but fortunately, he’s going to work hard to get himself right, and we have total faith that he’ll be back for us next year.
