<p>Redskins receiver Pierre Garcon is likely out against the Giants this Sunday </p> <p><span>Robert Griffin III</span> will likely be without one of his weapons this Sunday in the first NFC East clash of his career.</p>
<p>Wide receiver <span>Pierre Garcon</span> is a 'long-shot' to play against the <a href="https://www.bigblueview.com/">Giants</a> in Week 7, <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/washington-redskins">Redskins</a> coach Mike Shanahan said Thursday. Garcon took a pain-killing injection in his right foot on Wednesday that team doctors are hoping will lessen the pain enough for him to play.</p>
<p>Garcon has missed three of the Redskins' six games this season after catching an 88-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter of a Week 1 win against the <a href="https://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/">New Orleans Saints</a>. Unfortunately, for the Redskins that touchdown pass accounts for more than half of Garcon's receiving yardage this season.</p>
<p>Following Week 1, Garcon missed the next two games with a the right foot injury that has plagued him. He returned in Week 4, but caught just four passes in two games before missing the Redskins' Week 6 win over the <a href="https://www.dailynorseman.com/">Vikings</a>.</p>
<p>This past off season, the Redskins signed Garcon to a five-year, $42.5 million contract with $21.5 million guaranteed.</p>

State Wolfpack</a> (4-2, 1-1) at College Park this Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPNU).</p>
<p><i>The Baltimore Sun</i>'s <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/35506/jeff-barker">Jeff Barker</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/sunjeffbarker">reported via Twitter</a> that the Terrapins will be without senior guard <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/114376/bennett-fulper">Bennett Fulper</a> (turf toe) for the homecoming game against the Wolfpack. Junior <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/76001/josh-cary">Josh Cary</a> will start in his place.</p>
<p>Also out Saturday for the Terps are safety Matt Robinson (groin) and wide receiver <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/75972/kerry-boykins">Kerry Boykins</a> (hip/groin). Robinson could be back next week.</p>

<p>Freshman running back Wes Brown's status is up in the air for Saturday's game. Brown leads the Terps with 150 yards rushing but, Maryland rushed for minus-2 yards in a 27-20 win over Virginia last week.</p>
<p>On Oct. 6, Maryland beat Wake Forest 17-14 in its first ACC game of the season. Maryland looks to improve to 3-0 in the conference this Saturday.</p>

<p>Kicker Nick Ferrara's season and career are over in College Park</p> <p>Kicker <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/75990/nick-ferrara" class="sbn-auto-link">Nick Ferrara's</a> career is over at the University of Maryland, coach Randy Edsall said Thursday, as he is out for the season with a hip-tendon injury and will graduate this December.</p>
<p>Ferrara suffered the injury in preseason practice, creating an opening for true freshman <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/165664/brad-craddock" class="sbn-auto-link">Brad Craddock</a>. Ferrara did not appear in a game this season.</p>
<p>For his career, Ferrara hit 30 of 45 field goals, including a career-long 50-yarder as a freshman. Ferrara missed just one extra point in 54 tries.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 9px;">As a freshman </span>Ferrara earned the top placekicking position but lost it in his sophomore season, in which he did not attempt a field goal. As a junior, Ferrara took over all three phases of the kicking game, including punting. He made 12 of 20 field goal attempts in 2011.</p>
<p>In his place, Craddock has hit 4 of 7 field goals this season, including a 52-yard score in the win over Wake Forest last week. Craddock also shanked an extra point in the game, proving that he's a work in progress.</p>
