By Mike Cardillo
Washington starting tight end Niles Paul was carted off the field with a nasty-looking lower leg injury during Thursday night’s preseason game with the Browns. As of now the only update provided by the team is that he’s out for the rest of Thursday’s game.
Ian Rapoport offered this update:
#Redskins starting TE Niles Paul has suffered a dislocated ankle, source said. MRI to see if the ligaments are intact. Crushing blow.
