Pierre Garcon injury update: Redskins WR practicing again

Garcon returned to practice for the first time in over a month on Monday and was on the practice field again on Wednesday. After practice Garcon said things were “going good,” but he did not speculate on his status against the Eagles.

Garcon has eight receptions for 153 yards and one touchdown in his limited action this season.

The injury is to a ligament in Garcon’s toe and he has said it causes pain when he tries to run on it, negating the asset of the receiver’s speed. Garcon said on Monday that the injury was not feeling 100 percent, but that he did what he could in his first practice since Oct. 12.

Garcon has been listed by the team as having an inflamed capsule in his foot, but a source told Garofalo that he also has a torn tendon, a more severe injury. It’s speculated he’ll miss the next two games and will not play until after the team’s Week 10 bye. It’s not clear why the team chose to hide the full nature of Garcon’s injury, if the report is true.

This past off season, the Redskins signed Garcon to a five-year, $42.5 million contract with $21.5 million guaranteed.
