Montez Sweat will head to the IR after all. Washington Football Team placed the defensive end on injured reserve today, reports NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport (via Twitter).
Sweat suffered a fractured jaw two weeks ago, and while he was fortunate to avoid surgery, a trip to the IR still seemed pretty likely. The 25-year-old was told by doctors to have “no physical contact for a month,” so it sounded like there was no shot he’d return before December. Now, the earliest he can see the field is December 5th against the Raiders.
The 2019 first-round pick has been a force since entering the NFL. After collecting 16 sacks through his first two seasons, Sweat compiled another four sacks in eight starts this year. The defensive end also has 19 tackles, two forced fumbles, 12 QB hits, and three tackles for loss.
WFT let Ryan Kerrigan walk this offseason, so the organization has some inexperienced options to replace Sweat. The team will likely turn to James Smith-Williams when they return from their bye tomorrow, although they’re also rostering Casey Toohill and rookie Shaka Toney.
Gru will win the case against the NFL
NFL is tryin to cover up how much of a scumbag Daniel Snyder is and tried to use gruden as a sacrifice, I hope everything gets revealed in court
Those emails will have executives & coaches from all teams. Its gonna get ugly. I’m willing to get more than the old GM & Jon spoke in such fashion.
WFT Defensive Line Coach discloses that workouts and practices for defensive line personnel will be light and short in duration through December 5th 2021.
There will be NO SWEAT !!
