Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said Monday that linebacker Brian Orakpo suffered a torn right pectoral muscle and will require season. Per ESPN:
quote:Through seven games this season, Orakpo has only recorded half a sack.
It's the third time Orakpo has torn a pectoral muscle in his career. He missed all but two games in 2012 with a torn left pectoral, which he had also torn in the '11 season finale.
"It's a major blow," Gruden said.
Orakpo suffered the injury in the second half of the Redskins' 19-17 win over Tennessee, leaving the game for good in the fourth quarter. It's the third time he's torn a pectoral muscle, though the first two were on the left side, with one of those tears costing him the final 14 regular season games in 2012.
