Chris Thompson diagnosed with season-ending fractured fibula
The Washington Redskins’ bad day got worse, with Chris Thompson’s season ending prematurely.
Thompson, who left Sunday’s overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints, suffered a fractured fibula that will rule him out for the remainder of the season, according to coach Jay Gruden.

Thompson had become a valuable option for Washington, as both their leading rusher and top receiver. He picked up his sixth touchdown of the season in Sunday’s loss — and it will be his last, in a huge blow to the Washington offense on a day where they already suffered a brutal loss.
