Jon Jansen
 

Just saw that Jansen may have ruptured a tendon and may be out for the season. This could be a disaster for the o-line. I feel real bad for him since he has been in the starting lineup for every game he has been here.

Let's hope it's mis-diagnosed.

The TV crawl said that Tim Brant was reporting this injury. I have great respect for Tim Brant as a journalist but I want to wait and hear this from the team in an official release with a medical report attached.

However, if Jansen is out for the year, the Skins are one - I repeat ONE more major offensive line injury away from a 5-11 season again. Injuries are killers in the NFL. Injuries that pile up in the same position cannot be overcome because there are NO capable replacements out there for the taking.

Sounds like it's on it's way to being official, Jansen's wife confirmed it's his achilles

They may have to move Dockery to RT. Is the rookie Wilson really Jansen's back-up? He doesn't look like he's ready to start.

Free agents?????

"The Redskins trailed the Denver Broncos 9-3 in the first half of Monday's Hall of Fame Game. But the Redskins suffered a greater blow when right tackle Jon Jansen suffered a ruptured left Achilles. Officials stressed it is premature to call it a season-ending injury.

I thought K. Jones was backup tackle and looked good in camp?

JOnes started at Gaurd tonight

he can play both though. hes the best backup olinemen, and we had a guard out so he played there. he would play at tackle over guard if thomas and jansen were both out.

Yeah, I was just pointing out that he was in there tonight. Its gotta be between him and Winey I would think?

Oddly he doesn't look to be in much pain. Hopefully this is a false report! Of all the people to watch go down I feel horrible for him!

Dude, THIS SUCKS!!!! I can't believe Jansen went down. I gotta pray to the football gods tonight that he somehow heals up. This would be a major blow to the team, especially if Brunnel was QB (who on earth would block his blind-side). Man, I am going to have some rotten dreams tonight...

My bet is he's gone for the season. My dad ruptured his achilles, and it did not really hurt, but he could not stand up. Looked like that's what happened here. This is a huge blow. One of the best o linesman, and a leader and captain. Our only hope is that there's enough time to pick up a replacement and to rebuild the line in preseason. Buges really has his work cut out for him now.
