The Washington Redskins won’t have safety Deshazor Everett for the remainder of the season.
Washington sent Everett to injured reserve Saturday, the team announced.
The reserve safety has dealt with ankle and shoulder injuries this year and the coaching staff said the latter flared up recently, spurring this move.
A severe lack of depth at wideout helped make the move an easier decision. Paul Richardson is still out and Trey Quinn remains in concussion protocol after a fine-inducing hit last week from a Carolina player.
Meaning, the Redskins were about to start three rookies at wideout with little in the way of depth behind them. With the additional roster spot they called up Darvin Kidsy off the practice squad to fill an extreme depth role.
While it’s an unfortunate end of the season from Everett, his recent three-year extension assures he’ll have the offseason to get healthy and back to competing over the summer.
