PRO FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : NFC : Redskins Lose Raymer for 10 Weeks

Cory Raymer, the Washington Redskins’ second-round draft pick out of Wisconsin, underwent surgery for a broken ankle and will be out at least 10 weeks.

Raymer had two screws inserted in the lower part of his left fibula. He will spend four to six weeks in a cast and face six weeks of rehabilitation.

The injury occurred when teammate and guard Vernice Smith tripped and fell on Raymer’s ankle during a scrimmage Saturday.

That translates into the entire preseason lost for the 6-foot-2, 293-pound center, plus at least six games of the regular season.
