Lichtensteiger is hurt and has been replaced at Guard by Cook, a former practice squad player who had never played a snap in an NFL game before this season. Also, Trent Williams is hurt and Sean Locklear is in at Left Tackle. Can't say we didn't see it coming. From the pre-season prediction:
"But as the Redskins know all too well, injuries happen on the offensive line. And right now there is virtually zero depth at the interior positions. Erik Cook, a 2nd year player from last year's practice squad, is the back-up at all three positions. One or two injuries could significantly setback the Redskins ability to run and pass block."
Hopefully Cook and Locklear will show that Shanahan knows how to find unheralded players who fit and can execute his zone-blocking schemes.
