The Redskins took a major hit to what they thought this season would be an banner addition to their pass rush.They'll will be without linebacker Junior Galette for the entire regular season after he tore his Achilles tendon after their practice on Wednesday, according to Dianna Russini of ESPN.
Head coach Jay Gruden said he was "very concerned" about his prognosis after the injury, adding that Galette went down merely "running around the corner."
Galette joined the Redskins after he was released by the Saints this summer, less than one year after they awarded him with a $41 million extension.
A video, filmed in 2013, had emerged soon before then of a man who looks like Galette allegedly beating a woman in Miami, but Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan said he signed Galette only after "thorough, thorough, thorough" research.
A deal that included a clause for a preseason split salary, carving his original $745,000 down to $413,000 were he injured prior to the regular season, according to FOX Sports.
He had recently returned to football work after tearing his pectoral muscle in June and was expected to make his Redskins debut on Aug. 29, against Baltimore in their third exhibition game, where he was to preview the pass rushing combination coaches hoped he would provide alongside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan.
