Washington’s Logan Thomas fears being ripped off by ACL, MCL win over Las Vegas Raiders, source says
LAS VEGAS – Facts Washington football teamTheir four-match winning streak is muted by more bad news on injury: Tight finish Logan Thomas‘the season could be over.
A source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Sunday night that the team is concerned that Thomas tore the ACL and MCL at the end. 17-15 win Las Vegas Raiders.
Thomas will undergo more tests on Monday after Washington returns home.
Losing to Thomas would be a huge blow for Washington, who are currently 6-6 and two games behind first-place Dallas in the NFC East. WFT currently holds the sixth playoff spot in NFC with five games remaining.
Thomas was sore with 10 minutes remaining of the game when he backed off to the left and was hit by the Las Vegas defense with his left knee on the knee Yannick Ngakoue. Thomas left on his own strength. Washington coach Ron Rivera said in his post-match press conference that he did not see the play.
Thomas has been the prime target of Washington’s red zone and its most productive end point in that area for the past two years. He enters Sunday leading all-time closely with 144 admissions in the red zone over the past two seasons – despite missing six games this season through a hamstring injury.
On Sunday, he showed his worth in that field when he landed a one-handed catch behind the final area for a 7-yard touchdown. He caught three passes in 48 yards. In six games this season, Thomas has caught 14 148-yard passes and two touchdowns.
Washington signed Thomas a three-year contract extension worth up to 24.05 million dollars in August. That comes after his breakout 2020 season, when he caught 72 passes for 670 yards and six touchdowns to become a key player in Washington’s offense.
Without Thomas, Washington would have to rely on Ricky the Seal-Jones, who missed the past three games because of a hip injury but was able to return to training last week, albeit in limited time. He was out of action on Sunday because of an injury. WFT also has rookies John Bates and Sammis Reyes.
In the five games Seals-Jones played after Thomas was hurt, he made a total of 20 192-yard passes and one touchdown. During the season, he had 23 catches for 230 yards and two points. Bates is primarily a saver, but he has caught nine 74-meter passes this season.
Washington has recently been defeated but continues to win. Sunday, it plays without running again JD McKissic (concussion) and safety / linebacker Landon Collins (Foot). Defense is over Chase Young debut of the year with a torn ACL, and your end Montez Sweat did not play for four consecutive games because of a jaw injury. The group has started its fourth center, Keith Ismael, on Sunday.
