LISTEN: How Should Washington Respond to Rash of Injuries?

The Washington Football Team walked away with a win against the Atlanta Falcons Sunday, but it came at a price.

Linebacker Jon Bostic, wide receiver Dyami Brown, offensive lineman Brandon Scherff and tight end Logan Thomas all left the game early following injuries.

This isn't a foreign concept for the WFT, who lost quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 1 and recently saw wide receiver Curtis Samuel come off injured reserve.

While injuries are a guarantee in the NFL, no team knows how hard the injury bug will bite. No matter how much a team bleeds, every team is expected to play the next game and win if they want to keep pace with the rest of the league.

Washington isn't asking for sympathy, in fact, the team looks ready to take on the challenge.
