Deshazor Everett suffers high-ankle sprain vs. Lions; recovery timetable unknown

Washington safety Deshazor Everett left the game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon, and it’s now being reported that he is dealing with a high-ankle sprain that could sideline him for some time going forward.

In his place, S Troy Apke came in for Everett on Sunday. Apke had the starting safety job at the start of the year, but was later benched due to poor play.

This is a tough loss for Washington, who is already without Pro Bowl safety Landon Collins, who suffered a season-ending Achilles injury several weeks back. Now they will have to rely on Apke and rookie Kamren Curl, who has been very good in place of Collins.
