-

starters to injury during their game against the New York Giants.

Cornerback Bashaud Breeland sustained a high sprain to his right ankle and was scheduled to have an MRI on Monday. He was injured covering rookie Sterling Shepard on a 12-yard pass down to the Redskins 1. Trainers worked on his lower right leg, and he couldn’t put weight on the leg as he was helped off the field.

Defensive back DeAngelo Hall hurt his right knee and will be checked for a possible torn anterior cruciate ligament. Center Kory Lichtenste­iger went out with a left calf strain, and left guard Shawn Lauvao hurt his right ankle and was to have an MRI.

Washington running back Matt Jones was evaluated for a concussion after taking a tough hit by Nat Berhe that appeared to jolt his neck forward, but he was cleared and allowed to return to play.

The battered San Diego Chargers were dealt another blow when linebacker Manti Te’o left the game against Indianapol­is with an Achilles tendon injury.

Te’o went down after trying to chase Colts running back Frank Gore into the flat. Te’o appeared to plant on his left leg and then collapsed. Te’o went into the game leading the Chargers with 19 tackles. Other injuries: ■ Arizona punter Drew Butler injured an ankle in the first quarter. Kicker Chandler Catanzaro took over punting duties for Butler.

■ Oakland right tackle Menelik Watson hurt his right leg late in the second quarter against Tennessee. Trainers checked him out on the field, and Watson was able to walk to the sideline.

■ Detroit safety Tavon Wilson injured his neck and left the game in Green Bay in the first quarter. It was another blow for an injury-depleted Lions defense that is already without lineman Ezekiel Ansah and linebacker DeAndre Levy.

■ Green Bay tight end Jared Cook went out early in the second quarter with a right ankle injury, and fullback Aaron Ripkowski left in the second quarter with a back injury.

■ Carolina defensive lineman Vernon Butler left the game against Minnesota with a right lower leg injury in the third quarter.

■ Denver safety T.J. Ward hurt his neck late in the first quarter but returned against Cincinnati. The Broncos were already missing safety Justin Simmons.

■ Pittsburgh linebacker Lawrence Timmons was taken to a hospital for evaluation after hurting his left shin in the first half against Philadelph­ia.
