Redskins' Kyshoen Jarrett: Unlikely to play in 2016

Jarrett is waiting to hear how nerve damage in his shoulder is progressing, but some in the Redskins' organization believe both his immediate and long-term future are in doubt, Mike Jones of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

A 2015 sixth-round pick, Jarrett's significant role in the secondary in the second half of last season was prompted by an injury bug that claimed starters DeAngelo Hall and Chris Culliver among its victims, and that forced the Redskins to play a total of 15 defensive backs over the course of the season. Jarrett played well, recording 58 tackles, four passes defensed, and one forced fumble in his rookie campaign. However, he suffered a shoulder injury in the season finale that's casting considerable doubt over his chances of ever re-taking the field. He incurred nerve damage to the entire arm, and remains without much feeling in it a full five months later. Unless his recovery begins to dramatically accelerate, it appears as though he'll miss the 2016 season at a minimum, with the possibility of the injury eventually being a career-ender.
