Redskins’ first-round pick hurts ankle, out two weeks

Washington Redskins first-round pick Daron Payne is expected to miss two to three weeks because of an ankle injury.

The nose tackle drafted 13th overall out of Alabama was stepped on during practice Friday and will be in a walking boot for about one week, coach Jay Gruden said. This is the second consecutive year the Redskins have had a defensive lineman they drafted in the first round from Alabama go down with a foot injury. Jonathan Allen’s rookie year was cut short five games into last season because of a sprain.
