The injuries to the Washington Redskins are having negative effects on the team beyond just the players who are hurt.
Washington GM Scot McCloughan actually injured his hand punching a wall in frustration after learning that first-round pick Josh Doctson had an Achilles’ tendon injury.
Former Washington TE Chris Cooley, who is a radio host, shared the story of McCloughan’s injury on ESPN 980.
“I said, ‘What happened to your hand?'” Cooley recalled on the radio, via the Richmond Times-Dispatch. “He said, when I found out about Doctson – which they thought was going to be much worse, the Doctson injury, apparently it isn’t going to be as bad – I punched the wall.”
You can see McCloughan’s bandaged hand in these photos:

Doctson injured himself in May but his injury isn’t supposed to be that bad. Though the former TCU receiver opened training camp on the physically unable to perform list, he is just day-to-day, which is much better than what McCloughan originally thought.
As for McCloughan, hopefully that hand injury goes away sooner than later.
