Washington Redskins linebacker Brian Orakpo will miss the remainder of the season with a torn right pectoral muscle, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
This is devastating news for the three-time Pro Bowler, as he tore his left pectoral muscle in 2012, and is playing under the franchise tag this season.
As a free agent after the season, the injury will no doubt make it harder for him to secure a long-term contract.
In seven games this season, Orakpo has racked up 24 combined tackles and one pass defended.
