The Redskins have three important starts for the rest of the 2018 season

If the Atlanta Falcons had not suffered Sunday, the Washington Redskins had not received enough news Monday.

Head coach Jay Gruden said the following three starters for the remainder of the 2018 season: right guard Brandon Scherff, left goaltender Shawn Lauvao and wide receiver Paul Richardson.

These are pretty brutal losses for Washington.

Trent Williams is already away for about a month while he is recovering from a thumb injury. Now, there are at least two other offensive linemen starting. It is also interesting to note that the departure of the good tackle Morgan Moses suffered a sprain of the MCL and is described as "day-to-day".

Losing Richardson – who signed a $ 40 million contract over five years earlier this year – hurts the Washington attack. He is second in the team in goals and goals. Richardson is Washington's best vertical threat.

Despite losing to the Falcons, Washington still ranks first in the East of the NFC with a 5-3 record. But the defeat allowed the Eagles to shoot in one game with half a season to play. Philadelphia will still play Washington twice this season (weeks 13 and 17). If Washington does not find a way to defeat their wounds, they may soon see their heads parting.
