Redskins' promising start could be derailed by more injuries

LANDOVER, MD., -- This is how bad the Washington Redskins' offensive line situation became Sunday: One more injury meant defensive end Matt Ioannidis would be pulling double duty on offense. The Redskins avoided that situation, but they can't get around their plight. And it's one that could linger a while, impacting their season.

It wasn't just the 38-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons that stung the Redskins. It was the exodus of two starting offensive linemen, with one of them already down. That was a recipe for disaster in 2017 when they used 36 different line combinations.
