Tears While Addressing Guice Injury One of the highlights of the 2017 season in Washington was the emergence of running back Chris Thompson as one of the premiere offensive weapons in Burgundy and Gold. His fifth full season in the league was a coming out of sorts http://www.redskinsfootballauthentics.com/josh-norman-jersey-authentic , primarily for his role in the passing game where here tallied a career-high 51 yards per game through the air. He also established himself as perhaps Redskins’ best blocking back in pass protection as well. Thompson was on pace to set career highs in stats all across the board before his season was cut short when he fractured his fibula in crushing week 11 overtime loss in New Orleans.Having sat out the preseason week 1 opener against the Patriots, Thompson is still on the mend, and looking to make his return to the field by the start of the regular season. However, in speaking with the media this week he was clearly heavily affected by the season-ending injury of his fellow tailback Derrius Guice, whose torn ACL landed him on the IR earlier this week.Thompson choked back tears as his emotions were clearly running high when discussing the injury to his rookie position-mate, whom many assumed would work in tandem with the fifth-year pro this season. After signing a two-year extension last fall that keeps Thompson in Washington through the 2019 season, he has taken the reigns as one of the leaders in the locker room, which is becoming all the more evident in situations like these. Now with one fewer weapon in the backfield this season http://www.redskinsfootballauthentics.com/trent-williams-jersey-authentic , Thompson will be leaned on heavily this season to lead the way on the field among the Redskins running back corps once again.Daily Slop: Redskins saw nothing wrong with Clay Matthews’ hit on Alex Smith; Trent Williams to undergo ‘minor’ surgery DeAngelo Hall: Redskins defense could be one of best in NFL | 106.7 The FanThe Redskins rank second in overall defense after Sunday's win.Five observations from the Redskins' rain-soaked win over the Packers | NBC Sports WashingtonThe Redskins defeated the Packers 31-17, and Rich Tandler has five key observations from the big win.Need to Know: Stock up, stock down for the Redskins’ win over Packers | NBC Sports WashingtonNeed to Know: The Redskins’ stock around the league went up with their impressive win over the Packers and there were some individual rises in the wake of the game.Though the refs did, the Redskins saw nothing wrong with Clay Matthews' hit on Alex Smith | NBC Sports WashingtonFor the second week in a row, Clay Matthews was at the center of a controversial penalty.
