Redskins ILB London Fletcher still hasn't decided whether he'll play in 2013. "It's still a process," Fletcher said. "(When) you get older in your career, you have to evaluate everything. Health is one thing. Can I still do it at the level that I want to do it at and play at?" Fletcher tallied a team-high 139 tackles last season, but struggled at times as he played through a host of minor injuries. He graded out as the third-worst inside linebacker in Pro Football Focus' ratings. He's under contract for $5.5 million. It's doubtful he walks away from that.

Redskins GM Bruce Allen says ILB London Fletcher still has not informed the team on whether he plans to play in 2013. Allen says Fletcher, 38 in May, has "three or four good years" left in him, so a retirement announcement seems unlikely. Fletcher played in his third Pro Bowl this past season, and he's still probably unwinding after a long season. Due $5.5 million in the final year of his deal, Fletcher hasn't missed a game in 15 years.

London Fletcher has still not told his teammates if he'll be back next season. Fletcher participated in last week's Pro Bowl, so he's still winding down and contemplating his decision. We'd be surprised if he the final verdict is retirement. Despite operating at age 37, Fletcher ranked eighth in the NFL in sacks, was the unquestioned leader of a team that won seven straight games to close the regular season and played in all 16 games for the 15th consecutive year. He's also due $5.5 million in 2013.

Redskins ILB London Fletcher is unsure whether he will return for a 16th season in 2013. "I'll take some time," said Fletcher, "to let the emotions of the season kind of get away, refresh a little bit and then sit down with my family and make the decision." The 37-year-old is signed for one more season at $5.5 million. He's still playing at a high level, leading the Redskins with 15 tackles, half a sack and a pass deflection in Sunday's season-ending loss.

Redskins ILB London Fletcher is "uncertain" for Thursday's game against the Cowboys. It sounds like Fletcher has avoided a high-ankle sprain, but the NFL's defensive iron man has just three days to heal up for Week 12. Although Fletcher has yet to miss a game this season, he's dealt with numerous injuries. Lorenzo Alexander will start against the Cowboys if Fletcher can't go.
