It was a rough day for the Washington Football Team on Sunday despite picking up their second victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Washington suffered numerous injuries to starters throughout the game, such as tight end Logan Thomas, guard Brandon Scherff, linebacker Jon Bostic, and running back Antonio Gibson.
Those injuries weren’t the only bad news for Washington.
In the game’s final play, Washington cornerback Torry McTyer suffered a knee injury and was carted off the field.
On Monday, head coach Ron Rivera confirmed McTyer suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season. This is sad and unfortunate for a young player who wasn’t expected to compete for a roster spot yet won a spot after a strong summer and training camp.
Rivera said Torry McTyer (ACL) is done for the year, as is likely Jon Bostic (pec).

McTyer received his first significant playing time of the season on Sunday with rookie cornerback Benjamin St-Juste out with a concussion.
With McTyer now lost for the season, Washington’s depth at corner will be tested. Darryl Roberts should play more and Troy Apke, primarily a special-teams standout, is also on the roster.
