Things just went from bad to worse for Washington Redskins linebacker, LaVar Arrington on Thursday. According to an article on ESPN.com, Arrington was hit with a $5,000 fine by the National Football League before having surgery on his right knee to repair torn meniscus cartilage.
The National Football League handed Arrington the fine for a hit he made on New York Giants' running back, Tiki Barber, in a game last Sunday. The play was fined because Arrington grabbed Barber's facemask and twisted. The play was not penalized in the game, as the referees thought Barber was collared around the shoulder pads.
The knee injury without a doubt hurts the Redskins (and Arrington) worse. It is projected that the key to the Redskins' defense might miss two to four weeks in the season.
Washington will play its arch-rival, Dallas Cowboys, this coming Monday night.
