Brian Orakpo Out For Season With Torn Pectoral Muscle

The Washington Redskins will be without outside linebacker Brian Orakpo for the rest of the season after coach Jay Gruden confirmed that the pass-rusher will need surgery to repair a torn right pectoral muscle sustained against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

Orakpo has suffered two torn pectoral muscles in the past, but both were on the left side. Making over $11 million under the franchise tag, Orakpo has a half-sack this season and 24 total tackles. WIth his lack of production and injury woes, his Redskins career is likely over after six seasons.
