Demetric to Start Sunday?

September 23, 2008 · Print This Article

Word out of Redskins camp is that Demetric is expected to start Sunday against the Cowboys, due to an injury to Jason Taylor.

What seemed like an annoying kick in the calf turned into a significant medical issue for the Washington Redskins and defensive end Jason Taylor, who underwent a 20-minute procedure Monday and will miss next week’s game against the Dallas Cowboys.

“He’s going to be fine,” coach Jim Zorn said. “Our problem is that he’s going to be out for this Dallas game for sure. I can’t tell you beyond that.”

Taylor was kicked in his left leg in the second quarter of Sunday’s 24-17 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.

Seventh-year player Demetric Evans, a reliable Redskins backup for the last four years, is expected to start while Taylor is out.
