The Redskins relied on the versatility and depth of their secondary in their 29-27 victory over the Giants, after cornerbacks Bashaud Breeland and Dashaun Phillips and safety DeAngelo Hall all left with injuries.
Hall was placed on Injured Reserve, while Breeland and Phillips haven’t participated in practice this week, meaning that cornerback Greg Toler, who played 43 snaps against New York, and rookie Kendall Fuller, who has been inactive for the first three weeks of the season, will receive the bulk of playing time vs. the Browns on Sunday.
The changes that occurred on the fly during Sunday’s win didn’t provide a major decrease in production thanks to a “next man up” mentality that has given the coaching staff confidence with whomever comes off the bench.
