Will Blackmon

Maybe Blackmon can actually play defense without committing a penalty on every play, because none of Washington's other cornerbacks appear to be capable of doing so. Even if Blackmon is unable to play, it is doubtful Sam Bradford is good enough to take advantage of his absence.

After leaving the game and returning later, it was shown that Blackmon had a fractured/dislocated thumb. With the Redskins getting the bye, expect Blackmon to playing in Week 10.

He left the stadium with his thumb in a cast, but at least he was able to return to the game. With the Redskins bye week coming up, it'll be interesting to see Blackmon's level of participation in practice next week.

Blackmon has been a cornerback for most of his 10-year career and is coming off of his best season yet. By practicing exclusively at safety, Blackmon is giving himself a better opportunity to make the 53-man roster as nothing is guaranteed at this point. He is coming off a season in which he recorded 38 tackles and two interceptions.
