Description: Redskins OLB Brian Orakpo is done for the season with a torn left pectoral muscle, according to NFL.com. Orakpo wasn't the only loss suffered by the Redskins defense this weekend, as the team lost DE Adam Carriker as well.
Insight: The loss of two starters in the front seven is going to take a toll on the Washington defense. The two combined for 14.5 sacks last season and teams facing the Redskins should be more successful with both players out of the lineup.

Description: Redskins OLB/DE Brian Orakpo tweeted earlier today, "This year we're not going through all that Albert nonsense again." SOURCE: TWITTER
Insight: That could mean one of two things... either Haynesworth comes in, becomes a model citizen, works hard and earns his paycheck... OR... his career as a Redskin will cease to end as we know it.

Description: Redskins OLB Brian Orakpo limped off the field with a left ankle injury in the first half of Washington's Week 8 tilt with Detroit.

Description: Redskins LB Brian Orakpo limped off the field in the first quarter against the Lions with an ankle injury.
Insight: Orakpo was wearing a walking boot on the same ankle earlier in the week, so he may have aggravated the injury.
