Washington Football Team LB Jon Bostic suffers pectoral injury

WFT linebacker Jon Bostic suffered a pectoral injury on Sunday (Twitter link via Ian Rapoport of NFL.com). He’ll undergo an MRI Monday to determine the severity, but Washington is bracing for bad news.

Bostic was ruled out in the fourth quarter, following early exits for tight end Logan Thomas (hamstring), wide receiver Cam Sims (hamstring) and guard Brandon Scherff (knee). They went on to beat the Falcons 34-30 in Atlanta, but it was a costly victory.

Bostic never lived up to his second-round draft status in Chicago and barely played in New England. But, when he resurfaced with the Colts in 2017 and the Steelers in 2018, he found his footing as a starter. His best work has come in D.C. Bostic has did not miss a game between 2019 and 2020, starting in all but one of his games. Last year, he finished out with 118 tackles — a new career best — plus three sacks, six tackles for loss, three passes defensed and one interception.

Now at .500, the WFT will travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints in Week 5.
