The 5 O’Clock Club: ‘Skins bye week - re

East rivals’ losses and problems The 5 o’clock club is published Wednesday to Saturday during the season Washington Redskins Hoodie , and aims to provide a forum for reader-driven discussion at a time of day when there isn’t much NFL news being published. Feel free to introduce topics that interest you in the comments below.The bye week was kind to the Redskins. Going into Week 4, the Redskins had the same record as the Eagles at 2-1, but were in 2nd place in the division by virtue of the Redskins loss to the Colts, who were beaten by the Eagles.While on vacation, the Redskins moved into sole possession of first place in the division, a half-game ahead of the Cowboys and Eagles, thanks to our division foes going 1-2 for the week.The Cowboys actually surged past the Eagles and into second place with their win over the Lions, despite having been outscored by ten points (67-77) through four games. The Giants have maybe a week or two to fix their season; as I mentioned in yesterday’s 5 o’clock club post, with a pair of wins in Weeks 5 and 6 Youth Customized Washington Redskins Jerseys , the Giants could actually find themselves leading the division.That said, not many people are expecting the Giants, who have been outscored by 22 points in the first quarter of the season, to turn things around, and April next year could see the team with a top-5 draft pick for the second year in a row, allowing Dave Gettleman to recover from his failure to select a quareterback in the 2018 draft.Assuming that happens, the Giants could be a force to be reckoned with by, say, 2020.For now www.redskinsauthorizedshops.com , I thought it would be a bit of fun to simply enjoy the misery that our division rivals have lived through in Weeks 3 & 4, and frolic in the joy of leading the division.After all, when all the games have been played on Sunday, no matter the outcome, the Redskins will still be in sole possession of the division lead, and the Cowboys, Eagles and Giants will still be bringing up the rear.1 October 2018Jordan RaananGiants lose again, appear headed nowhere1 October 2018Tim McManusInability to protect Carson Wentz costs Eagles24 September 2018Todd ArcherLooking to assign blame on Cowboys’ offense? Start with everybodyESPN has a feature that runs occasionally where all 4 network beat writers answer the same question about the division.Here are some cherry-picked excerpts from the October 3rd version of this ‘ask the beat writers’ series.Resetting the NFC East: Has Eagles’ slow start opened up the division?ESPN Eagles reporter Tim McManus: Note from BiB: I’d just like to point out that playing the Saints and Jags has nothing to do with a “difficult first-place schedule” for the Eagles; every team in the NFC East will play every team in the NFC South and AFC South this season.The ‘first-place schedule’ consists entirely of the Vikings and Rams.The Redskins’ two NFCN & NFCW games for this season are the Cardinals and the Packers.ESPN Giants reporter Jordan Raanan: ESPN Redskins reporter John Keim: ESPN Cowboys reporter Todd Archer:Redskins vs Colts Injury Report: Maurice Harris returns to practice Jay Gruden gave some injury updates during his post-practice presser on Wednesday.The big news was both Trey Quinn and Cam Sims had ankle surgery and were being placed on injured reserve. He did say that both were candidates to return from IR, along with RB Byron Marshall Washington Redskins Womens T-Shirt , if they were healthy after 8 weeks.In other injured Redskins WR news, Maurice Harris returned to practice for the first time in over 2 weeks. Harris had been in the concussion protocol, and remains there until he is fully cleared to play. Gruden said he was doing individual drills in Wednesday's practice, which is a good sign for a return to the field soon. The Redskins re-signed Brian Quick who will be active on Sunday. They also signed Jehu Chisson from the practice squad.Gruden said Chisson would be active if Harris can't play, and Quick would be the #4 receiver. Chisson would play outside if needed. but mainly be used on special teams.Rookie safety Troy Apke was the only Redskins player who did not participate in practice on Wednesday. He tweaked his hamstring against the Cardinals, and there have been no reports on the severity of the injury yet.

Both players were full participants in practice, and the same injuries were listed on last week's report.
