Blackmon was released Friday by the Redskins, Mike Jones of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon agreed to a two-year deal with the Redskins last offseason after a strong showing with the team in 2015. After a 2016 campaign riddled with injuries, Blackmon became an expendable reserve option in the team's secondary.

Blackmon (concussion) is being listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Panthers, Brian McNally of 106.7 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon has been undergoing concussion protocol since Dec. 5, but finally appears on track to return to action. After being limited in practice earlier in the week, the safety was able to log a full workload Saturday. However, his final status will not be determined until closer to game-time Monday.

Blackmon (concussion/thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon did not participate in practice throughout the entire week, so Deshazor Everett or Donte Whitner (illness) will be in line to start at free safety in Week 14.

Blackmon is being tested for a stinger or a concussion following Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, Brian McNally of 106.7 The Fan reports.

Blackmon may be in line to miss some time depending on the test results. If Blackmon is forced to miss Week 14's matchup against the Eagles, Deshazor Everett is next in line to start for the Redskins at free safety.

Blackmon (thumb) will play Sunday against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon suffered a thumb injury in Week 8 but used Washington's bye last week to recover. With DeAngelo Hall (knee) already out for the season, Deshazor Everett will serve as the only backup at free safety this week.

Head coach Jay Gruden said Blackmon will require surgery to heal a fractured and dislocated thumb.
EDGE Analysis
It's uncertain when Blackmon's surgery will take place and even less certain when he may be back on the field. Meanwhile, with DeAngelo Hall (knee) already shelved on IR for the season, Deshazor Everett projects to step into the Redskins' starting free safety role.

Blackmon suffered a thumb injury during Sunday's game against the Bengals, but he was able to return.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon's injury is believed to be a fractured/dislocated thumb, but it shouldn't restrain his availability moving forward as long as he can play through the pain.

Blackmon has agreed to a two-year deal with the Redskins, The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blackmon joined the Redskins as a veteran depth signing ahead of last season, but surpassed expectations by compiling a career-best 49 tackles and two interceptions over the course of the campaign. At 31 years old, Blackmon now finds himself as one of Washington's top cornerbacks heading into the upcoming season, when he'll hope to build on his 2015 success.
