Ryan Kerrigan’s incredible attendance sheet comes to an end this weekend when the Washington Redskins take the field.
Kerrigan won’t be able to suit up due to a concussion, meaning his consecutive games streak ends at 139.
Bill Callahan, interim head coach, was one of many to offer praise, per Redskins.com’s Kyle Stackpole:
“I can’t even begin to express how much he’s meant to this organization, what he’s contributed, what he means to this teammates and the type of pro that he is day in and day out. He’s a consummate pro as you just watch him around the facility, in the meeting room, on the field. There’s no better example of what a pro should be in the NFL than Ryan Kerrigan.”
There’s also this to consider:
Really glad Ryan Kerrigan is valuing his long-term health over keeping the consecutive-games streak alive. Also really glad he’s getting his due for an amazing achievement.

Kerrigan, after all, is 31 years old and he’s only got one year left on his deal. Were the Redskins smart, they’d reward him with another massive extension without worrying about a one or two-game absence this year.
Either way, the praise continuing to roll in for Kerrigan is more than warranted.
