There is no doubt that injuries have played a big part to the Redskins disappointing season. Key players on both sides of the ball have either been lost for the season, or are continuing to battle through nagging injuries which are effecting their availability week-to-week.
To date, the Redskins have a staggering number of 18 players on injured reserve and another key starter in Trent Williams, who has already missed a few games, and looks unlikely to play again this season. Of those 18 player on IR, 12 of them were either starters or key reserves.
