One week after suffering the worst loss of Week Six, the Redskins lost convincingly to the one-win Panthers.

This Redskins season is starting to remind us of last season, complete with the quarterback change and growing injury concerns. Washington is waiting to hear back results of an MRI on Tim Hightower’s knee Monday.

ESPN980 reports that the Redskins “strongly believe” Hightower has a torn ACL. Hightower was far more optimistic after the game, but will wait for test results. Receiver Santana Moss also broke his hand and will be out for an undetermined amount of time.

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan was not pleased about his team’s performance, and let it show on the podium when someone asked who the team’s starting quarterback would be this week.

“Are you joking?” Shanahan tersely asked. “Next question.”
