The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

By Mike Jones
Washington Redskins kicker Graham Gano suffered fractures in two bones of his lower back during the final game of the season and has remained in the area to rehabilitate the injury at Redskins Park, according to multiple people familiar with the situation.

Gano suffered the injury while trying to make a tackle after the Eagles blocked his 36-yard field goal attempt in the second quarter of the Jan. 1 game against Philadelphia. The Eagles’ Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie recovered the ball, and Gano tried to tackle him. But the defensive back flipped the ball to teammate Tom Nelson to keep the play alive.

Before Gano could stand up, defensive end Jason Babin hit the kicker in the back, sending Gano sprawling. He immediately grabbed his back and was tended to by trainers before being helped off the field. No penalty was called. Gano later returned to kick a second-half field goal and an extra point
