Washington's Junior Galette tears other Achilles' tendon, out for season
Washington outside linebacker Junior Galette has suffered another torn Achilles' tendon, and is done for the season.
What It Means:
Galette's second year in D.C. will end the same as his first, with zero snaps. Galette tore his right Achilles'. It was Galette's left Achilles' that cost him all of 2015. Headed into what would have been his age-28 season, Galette's career is now in serious doubt. It's an on-paper blow for the Redskins' thin pass rush, but realistically defensive coordinator Joe Barry should never have been counting heavily on Galette considering his off-field and injury histories.
Washington ranked 17th in Adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points (NEP) per play in 2015. Galette last played in the regular season for the New Orleans Saints, notching 10 sacks in 2014.
