The Washington Redskins have officially placed linebacker Ryan Kerrigan on the Injured Reserve, ending his season with three games left on the schedule.
Kerrigan went down early in the third quarter of last week’s game against the Green Bay Packers with a calf injury, and it looked to be bad from the start as he slowly was helped off of the field.
Now, as the Redskins prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, head coach Bill Callahan has announced that it would be in the best interest for Kerrigan to sit out the remainder of the year, as the injury seems to be more serious than they expected. He called the veteran a “consummate professional.”
Callahan also said that Kerrigan’s move to the IR has nothing to do with their 3-10 record and that the injury was serious enough to warrant such a move.
