MY TAKE–It’s ridiculous–Exhibition games are so worthless. The only significant things that result are injuries and the Redskins may have been dealt a serious blow.
The top backup to Robert Griffin III, second-year quarterback Kirk Cousins, left the Washington Redskins‘ second preseason game after spraining his right foot on a run.
Starting exhibitions while Griffin comes back from offseason knee surgery, Cousins left Monday night’s 24-13 win over Pittsburgh early in the second quarter.
He suffered a mid-foot sprain, but said initial X-rays came back negative. And, for now, a Lisfranc injury also was ruled out.
Meanwhile, nose tackle Barry Cofield suffered a fracture in his right hand but is optimistic about playing in the season opener.
Cousins, who was wearing a boot on his right foot and left on crutches, will undergo an MRI Tuesday to determine the extent of his injury. With starter Griffin still not certain to return for the opener, the Redskins can’t afford to have Cousins miss any time. They list as their No. 3 quarterback Rex Grossman, who entered to play quarterback for Washington and went 10-for-16 for 133 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
