Robinson was knocked unconscious and suffered a concussion, while Meriweather re-injured his MCL and PCL. Both players were added to the inactive list and did not play in the game.

The Redskins safety had originalled sustained the injuries during the preseason and had yet to make his debut after signing with the team as a free agent this past offseason. He was expected to do so against Tampa Bay prior to re-aggravating the area.
