Redskins guard Arie Kouandjio will indeed miss the season, per multiple sources, after surgery to repair his torn quad muscle. There was some hope pre-surgery that his recovery time wouldn't be as long -- though even then playing in 2018 was a longshot. Kouandjio's quad worsened over time and after a second opinion he underwent surgery late last week. The Redskins were informed of his fate today; his recovery time is expected to be six-to-eight months. Kouandjio had impressed the Redskins with his offseason work. They re-signed guard Shawn Lauvao shortly before Kouandjio's issues arose.
