Twenty-six things to know about Week 7 injuries

Washington might have its hands full even more than expected on Monday Night Football.

Redskins cornerback Josh Norman (rib) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Eagles, coach Jay Gruden announced Saturday.

Norman's absence will put a greater responsibility on his fellow corners against an Eagles passing attack that features Alshon Jeffery, Zach Ertz and a surging Nelson Agholor and ranks ninth in the NFL in yards per game (250.7). To make matters worse, cornerback Bashaud Breeland (knee) was limited Friday and is questionable for Monday, though Gruden said Saturday Breeland is "looking better."

Offensive linemen Ty Nsekhe (core muscle) and Tyler Catalina (concussion) have also been ruled out, Gruden announced Saturday. Gruden said he expects running back Rob Kelley, who is questionable with ankle injury, to play and start Monday against the Eagles. Also questionable are offensive tackle Trent Williams (knee), safeties Deshazor Everett (hamstring) and Stefan McClure (knee), and linebacker Mason Foster (knee).
