Redskins tight end Niles Paul
The first-team Washington Redskins offense received a huge blow Thursday evening in its 2015 preseason opener, when starting tight end Niles Paul suffered a gruesome left ankle injury.
The injury occurred in the first quarter of the Redskins' matchup against the Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium. Paul, blocking on the play for running back Chris Thompson, was tangled up with a Browns defender, and replays showed his left ankle was twisted at an awkward angle.
