Chris Thompson Chokes Back 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 Ryan Kerrigan Jersey , 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.

Gruden has a lot of confidence in him, and luckily he's needed on the left side of the line where his play has been much better. Third round pick Geron Christian Sr. will be active for the first time in his career, and will be the swing tackle behing Nsekhe and RT Morgan Moses. Custom Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys
