Compton likely out Monday night

Washington ILB Will Compton (knee) is doubtful for Monday night's game against the Panthers. IDP owners should expect to be without him. Teammate Mason Foster racked up a season-high 12 solo tackles plus a sack last week, when Compton left early in the win over the Eagles.

Washington placed LB Will Compton on IR this week with his Lisfranc foot sprain. That clears the way for Martrell Spaight to start in his place going forward.

Washington ILB Will Compton suffered a Lisfranc foot sprain in Sunday's loss to Minnesota, according to the team website. HC Jay Gruden indicated Compton will be out at least "a few weeks" and that the team will need to determine this week which injured players might be IR candidates. IDP owners can go ahead and drop Compton. Martrell Spaight should be a full-time player for as long as Compton's out.

Washington LB Will Compton signed his restricted free-agent tender this week and will spend at least 1 more year with the team. He'll likely compete with Mason Foster and free-agent addition Zach Brown for the 2 starting spots inside Washington's 3-4 base defense. Don't be surprised if the team adds another player to the competition via the NFL Draft.

Washington ILB Will Compton (knee) is active for today's game against the Bears after missing the Monday night loss to the Panthers. He's OK for your IDP lineup, but we'd rather use teammate ILB Mason Foster without the knee question. Other questionable Washington defenders who are active include OLB Ryan Kerrigan (elbow) and DE Chris Baker (ankle).

Washington ILB Will Compton left in the 3rd quarter of Sunday's win over the Eagles with a knee injury. Compton said afterward that he's "optimistic" it won't prove to be serious, according to Brian McNally of 106.7 The Fan in Washington, D.C. ESPN reports he'll have an MRI on Monday. We'll see what the tests say.
