Washington Without Four (More?) Key Guys vs. Bengals

ASHBURN, Va. - The 2-7 Washington Football Team will be short-handed as expected this Sunday against the 2-6-1 Cincinnati Bengals in a 1 p.m. ET kickoff at FedExField in Landover.

Defensive end Ryan Anderson, safety Deshazor Everett, offensive tackle Cornelius Lucas and linebacker/special-teamer Jared Norris are all officially out.

The WFT also are listing the following players as questionable for Sunday's game: Kicker Dustin Hopkins, wide receiver Dontrelle Inman, wide receiver Isaiah Wright and long-snapper Nick Sundberg.

Sundberg is a new addition to the injury report and certainly adds more concern than their already is with the field goal operation.

Certainly, none of the players that have already been ruled out should be a surprise for Washington. Meanwhile, Lucas' absence officially means that Morgan Moses will start his first game at left tackle since his rookie year 2014 (at San Francisco) and David Sharpe will start his first game with Washington since being acquired from the Raiders.

Sharpe, pressed into action, midway through the fourth quarter last week had a penalty and two pressures allowed (which is not great, Bob).

Washington is down its top two left tackles with Geron Christian Sr. finally on injured reserve.

The Bengals are going to be without stud running back Joe Mixon as expected. Cincinnati and head coach Zac Taylor (a Sean McVay protégé) are getting their starting left tackle back, Jonah Williams, but they are very unsettled on the right side of their offensive line.

Although Redmond listed as questionable, Zac indicated he’d play at RG. Hart went full again Friday, but he wouldn’t make call on RT. RT backup Fred Johnson is questionable. So is WR Thomas DE Hunt and DT Xavier Williams.
