WP: Jansen Breaks Thumb, but Will Play Sunday

[MTK]

Washington Redskins right tackle Jon Jansen suffered a small fracture at the base of his thumb late in practice yesterday. But the six-year veteran is expected to practice later this week -- the team is off today -- and play in the season opener Sunday against the Chicago Bears at FedEx Field. "Without a doubt he'll play with it," Bubba Tyer, the Redskins' director of sports medicine said.
