Redskins thrive despite being bit by injury bug

As if you haven’t been reminded enough by the wall-to-wall coverage you can find on ESPN or the game’s increased PR emphasis on the study of head injuries, football is a violent game. It’s a collision sport, and not just head injuries, but injuries of all kinds are woven into the fabric of how football is played.

Overcoming those injuries can be as big a part of the game as anything else, and through seven weeks, the Morris Redskins — like all teams — have had their fair share of bumps and bruises to contend with. So far, the Redskins have been able to fill the voids left by injury nearly as quickly as they arise, and the Redskins are now sitting with an unblemished 7-0 record.
