Ryan Kerrigan’s impressive streak of 139-straight games played will unfortunately come to an end on Sunday, as the linebacker remains in the concussion protocol after suffering a hit to the head in last week’s victory over the Detroit Lions.
Kerrigan, who was drafted by the Washington Redskins back in 2011, has played in every game of his career. In that time, Kerrigan has amassed 89 sacks, 319 solo tackles, and 26 forced fumbles, making him one of the most underrated pass-rushers in the league.
The loss of Kerrigan comes at an extremely inopportune time for Washinton, as they will look to bottle up Carolina’s superstar running back Christian McCaffrey. Look for the Redskins to bring safety Landon Collins into the box to help on run support in Kerrigan’s absence.
