The Washington Redskins have placed left guard Shawn Lauvao on season ending injured reserve along with cornerback Justin Rogers. Lauvao sustained an ankle injury early in the Redskins week 3 loss to the New York Giants and Rogers was injured in week one against the Dolphins.
The loss of Lauvao is huge for the Redskins. He was perhaps playing the best football of his career in the two games to start the season. His run blocking had improved dramatically over last season and the Redskins power running game was working well going behind the left side of Lauvao and left tackle Trent Williams.
