Depleted Redskins lose another back
Manning starts 209th straight game for Giants.
The injury-riddled Washington Redskins suffered another significant loss on Sunday when running back Chris Thompson suffered a fractured fibula that team officials said will require surgery.
He will miss the rest of the season. With Rob Kelley (ankle) already on injured reserve, the Redskins have only two active backs — rookie Samaje Perine and Byron Marshall.
Giants: QB Eli Manning started his 209th consecutive game, moving into second place ahead of his brother, Peyton. Brett Favre holds the record of 297.
Rams: The secondary took a beat- ing in the loss to the Vikings. Cornerback Kayvon Webster (concussion) didn’t play after halftime and Nickell Robey-Coleman, the nickel corner, hurt his thigh in the second quarter and did not return.
Bills: Wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin suffered a knee injury on the first possession against the Chargers. He was acquired in a trade on Oct. 31.
Dolphins: QB Jay Cutler went out with a concussion and right guard Jermon Bushrod left a beat-up offensive line with a left foot injury. Cutler got what is at least his third concussion in the past seven years.
Buccaneers: Right guard Evan Smith (concussion) exited in the first half and did not return.
Packers: Linebacker Clay Matthews suffered a groin injury midway through the first quarter against the Ravens. He returned for one play on the next defensive series, then watched the rest of the first half from the sideline. Matthews did have a sack before getting hurt, his first sack since Week 4, to give him 3 1/2 for the season.
Browns: Defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah will likely miss the rest of the season with a broken foot. Coach Hue Jackson said the second-year pro will be out for “some significant time.”
Texans: Cornerback Kevin Johnson (concussion) left the win over the Cardinals in the fourth quarter.
Raiders: Running back Marshawn Lynch sat during most of U.S. anthem and stood for the Mexican anthem before their game against the Patriots at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. Lynch has not stood for the national anthem since returning from retirement this season.
