Did I hear right that Logan Paulsen might be done for the year? This isn't any sort of insider info here, I thought I heard it mentioned today over the air. Is this true?
All I can find is that he left Oakland wearing a knee brace:
Redskins injuries: Alfred Morris has bruised ribs (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2013/09/29/redskins-injuries-alfred-morris-has-bruised-ribs/)
And he's going to the doctor today:

Morris is the bell cow and if someone isn't getting enough carries, it's him. HE needs the rock. All he ever does is get stronger and stronger over the course of a game. Helu is a nice reserve but he isn't better than our guy.
Why take away touches from a guy who was second in the NFL last year in yards and TDs?

I saw on one play nearing end of the game after Raiders used up all of their timeouts, Paulsen was on ground holding his knee on one play but he managed to walk over to sideline to prevent referee to take injury timeout. So I'm assuming it has to do something with his knee. Paulsen might be a reserve player but he is vital to our running game, it will be huge blow if we do lose him for rest of the year.
I saw that as well. I also saw him wiggling his knee cap. Could be a knee cap problem as well. Either way it sucks. He is our best blocking TE by far.

Can't confirm with any web posts. The only thing I found was he did injure his knee and was hoping for good news today from the Drs...

For the same reason people would suggest benching the reigning Rookie of the Year in favor a guy that has seen six quarters(four of which against a garbage team) of full speed, NFL action.

Just curious....what's our offense in converting 3rd downs? Or scoring? We had 3 points at halftime against Oakland.
3rd down we rank 26th in the NFL completing 32% of our third downs.
Scoring we rank 14th

Yep.... I know we were playing from behind, but seriously. GIVE THE MAN THE ROCK.

I don't even want to go there. That is one of the dumbest things I have heard. Bench him for Cousins... Why don't we play him and let him work all this rust and other problems out?
The only reason I would bench him now would be to make sure he is ready to go next year when we have a line that can actually block.
Putting Cousins behind our line is only going to lower his perceived trade value.
Offensive line and tackling, the reason we are 1-3.
