This will be the second-straight missed game for Garcon, who is still trying to recover from a right foot injury he suffered in the first quarter of the 'Skins Week 1 game against the New Orleans Saints.

Garcon hasn’t played since the first quarter of Washington’s season-opener against the New Orleans Saints.  He totaled up four receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown in just a few minutes of action, with most of his stats coming from an 88-yard TD pass from Robert Griffin III.

However, the former Indianapolis Colts standout tweaked his right foot on that play and hasn’t been able to suit up for a meaningful game since.

The 26-year-old wideout came over to the Redskins in the offseason as a key free-agency acquisition. The franchise offered him a five-year, $42.5 million deal—with approximately $20 million guaranteed.

He’s supposed to be the No. 1 receiver in the Redskins' new RGIII-led offense, but his health simply hasn’t allowed for that yet this season.

In the limited amount of time that Garcon was actually lining up with the rookie signal-caller, the offense looked special. It’s unknown when the WR will be able to return to action at this time.

Aldrick Robinson, a second-year player out of Southern Methodist, should once again get the start in Garcon’s place. The backup hauled in two receptions for 40 yards in Week 2 against the Rams in his first career start.

The replacement receiver was much better in Week 1, catching four balls for 52 yards and a TD.

For fantasy purposes, all Garcon owners must sit their prized player. If you have Robinson, he’s got a solid matchup against the weak Bengals defense. Otherwise, hit the waivers for a last-second pickup and hope for the best today.
