It’s touch and go whether Jason Taylor will play in the Redskins’ opener against the Giants.
Taylor sprained his right knee in Saturday’s 47-3 exhibition loss to Carolina. An MRI performed Sunday relieved the Redskins’ fears of a more serious injury.
“It looks like there’s no ligament damage,” coach Jim Zorn said. “He could be out for 10 days or as much as two weeks. We are just waiting to see what type of a healer he’s going to be.”
Taylor’s availability is in doubt for the Sept. 4 Redskins-Giants game, which is the NFL’s Thursday night league opener. Longtime Redskins backup defensive end Demetric Evans and recently acquired Erasmus James would contend to start if Taylor can’t play.
