The Washington Redskins won’t have tight end Vernon Daivs or running back Chris Thompson on the field Sunday against the New York Jets.
Davis, still dealing with a concussion, was ruled out on the final injury report. So was Thompson, who continues to battle a toe injury.
At this point, it’s fair to wonder if either guy will be a candidate for injured reserve so the team can get help at other positions. But as JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington noted, interim coach Bill Callahan ducked around that question.
What Callahan did do though, was offer the following when it comes to timetables:
Right now, the offense probably needs Davis back more than it needs Thompson. Getting another reliable pass-catching target out there for Dwayne Haskins is a big deal.
Not that Thompson isn’t that too — but the return of Derrius Guice massages the need a bit. The IR possibility for either guy is still something to keep in mind.
