Chris Cooley Broken Ankle; Out for Majority of Season

Chris Cooley walked onto the field on Monday’s game and the first thing everyone noticed was his crazy blonde hair. That wasn’t the only thing that attracted attention to him. During the Redskins-Eagles game, the Skins’ tight end broke his right ankle. The damage is so severe that he could be out for the rest of the season.

Not long into the second quarter, Cooley couldn’t make up his mind whether to go right or left. His indecisiveness led to a broken ankle. He was able to complete two passes before limping off the field to get checked out.

Prior to his injury, Cooley had caught 27 catches for 311 yards, and scored two touchdowns (which doesn’t seem like a lot, but given the Redskins’ record…). Cooley has never missed a game since he started playing in 2004, so let’s hope the Redskins will be okay without him… for now.

The Skins lost the game 27-17.
