Catalina's injury will be a worry for the Redskins, who had hoped to avoid a similarly disastrous run of them suffered a season ago. The Redskins opened a recovery center at the team's facility in order to stave off a repeat, however another injury along the offensive line will come as a worry to a team desperately trying to bounce back from a disappointing 7-9 season in 2017 .

After not addressing the guard position as expected during the draft, the Redskins opted to go with familiarity rather than integrate someone new into the fold after re-signing Lauvao earlier this week. His injury record is of concern however, with backup options needed in order for the Redskins to ensure that they remain strong at the troublesome left guard position. The Redskins placed the 30-year-old on injured reserve in November last season after suffering a stinger in the team's second loss against the Philadelphia Eagles.

One option at left guard could be Nsekhe, who has established himself as one of the team's most important pieces on offense. Although not a regular starter, Nsekhe has proven himself as a valuable backup option, with the ability to play right or left tackle in addition to guard. The former Arena and Canadien League lineman has operated as the Redskins' swing tackle since 2015, making 11 starts during his time with the team. The Texas State alum has appeared 40 times during his NFL career, including 27 combined during the last two seasons alone.

With the Redskins struggles inside, it's no surprise that head coach Jay Gruden has entertained the possibility of moving him to to left guard position on a permanent basis, claiming that they could attempt to move him there during OTAs. The versatility shown by the 32-year-old has proven to be a valuable insurance policy whether it's as a starter or backup has been a great asset to the Redskins during his tenure with the team, however the selection of Geron Christian in the NFL Draft likely signals a shift inside on a more permanent basis this season.

Another option for the Redskins could be in the free agent market. On the same day that Kouandjio's injury misfortunes were confirmed, the Buffalo Bills announced that guard Richie Incognito had opted to come out of retirement and was subsequently released by the team. A four-time Pro Bowler, Incognito has overcome character issues during his time in Miami to reestablish himself as one of the league's best guards. The 34-year-old previously played under Redskins' offensive line coach Bill Callahan during his time at Nebraska. While no moves have been made for Incognito as yet, a potential move isn't completely ruled out as both he and the Redskins assess their options moving forward.
