Testing on Redskins ILB London Fletcher has confirmed that he did not suffer a Week 7 concussion. Fletcher has been dealing with "balance issues" recently, and also suffered a hamstring injury in last week's loss to the Giants. Perhaps it's a higher being giving 37-year-old Fletcher a heads up that he is not gonna play forever.

Redskins ILB London Fletcher is dealing with a "balance problem" in addition to his hamstring injury, and will undergo "neurological tests." Fletcher was held out of Wednesday's practice. A "balance problem" would suggest a concussion, but the Redskins haven't uttered the C-word since Sunday's loss. Regardless, Fletcher's Week 8 status is now in real jeopardy, and it's looking more likely than not his 231 consecutive games played streak will come to an end.

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan described ILB London Fletcher's Week 7 hamstring injury as a "slight" strain. Fletcher strained his right hammy in the third quarter and didn't return. "I wanted to go out there in two-minute [defense]," Fletcher said. "But I couldn't go out there and be me and play the way I was capable of playing or risk further injuring it or also put our team at a disadvantage because I couldn't go." Fletcher streak of 231 consecutive games played is in doubt heading to Week 8.
