Redskins lose LB Adam Hayward to Knee Injury

The Washington Redskins injury woes continue as first in their preseason game against the Detroit Lions they lost quarterback Robert Griffin III to a shoulder stinger and then they lost one of their top special teams players in linebacker Adam Hayward.

Hayward was running down on the kick coverage and engaging a blocker when he went down with what appeared to be a knee injury. Hayward had to be helped from the field by teammates and could not put weight on the leg.

The Redskins signed Hayward last season to come in help to improve their special teams.
