Culliver suffered the injury, which head coach Jay Gruden described as knee inflammation, on Wednesday and did not practice on Thursday and Friday.

“It’s an impact whether they threw a hitch route, a deep ball route, anything” Culliver said. “You see me in practice, so I was just battling through injuries and just trying to play for my team and one another. There’s people out here 10, 11, 12 years in. I’m trying to win and help my team win regardless of whatever that takes. If I don’t have one leg out there, if I can go and try to compete the best way I can and the organization behind me, then our decision is to go play ball.”

By playing through the injury, defensive end Ricky Jean Francois felt Culliver set “a standard around here now, a brand new standard” in the Redskins’ locker room.

“Just over previous years hearing about this team and just knowing all the things everybody trashed us about, ‘This person could’ve played, or this person couldn’t play,’ ” Jean Francois said. “Hands down, this dude said he was injured, but he didn’t say he wouldn’t be able to play. That wasn’t an upstairs decision. It wasn’t no GM, no coaches – it was his decision and he wanted to be out there with his teammates that he goes blood, sweat and tears with. That was us he wanted to bang with, and he did just that and helped us get the ‘W.’ ”
