Washington Redskins tight end Thaddeus Moss underwent surgery for a Jones fracture in his right foot “about a week” after the NFL Draft. The undrafted rookie is rehabbing ahead of schedule and hopes to be ready to go when the league allows practices.
Moss revealed the information during a Zoom press conference with Redskins’ beat writers.
The fracture was discovered during a physical exam at the NFL Scouting Combine in February. Moss had a similar injury that required two surgeries ahead of the 2018 season while at LSU. LSU decided to redshirt him that season.
Moss returned to the field in 2019 where he had 47 catches for 570 yards and four touchdowns to help LSU to a national championship. The son of Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss forwent his senior season to declare for the NFL Draft.
Due to his transfer from NC State in 2017 and his foot injury the following season, Moss was limited to playing 17 games in college.
Unfortunately, he went undrafted, signing with the Redskins shortly after the conclusion of the draft. If healthy and if the NFL is able to have any normalcy and play their 2020 season, Moss will compete against a deep but unproven tight end group in Washington. How healthy he is and how soon he can get into football activities could go a long way to him making the 53-man roster.
