Backup tight end Niles Paul leads the team with 12 catches for 185 yards and a touchdown this season.

Wide receiver DeSean Jackson is questionable for Sunday's game against his former team. Jackson injured his shoulder last week against the Jaguars and was limited during Friday's practice.

Quarterback Robert Griffin III was also hurt against the Jaguars when he dislocated his ankle during the first quarter, and backup Kirk Cousins will start for Washington. Griffin will not be placed on injured reserve

Washington plays the Eagles at 1 p.m. on Sunday in Philadelphia.
