Redskins OLB Brian Orakpo is done for the season with a torn left pectoral muscle, according to NFL.com. Orakpo wasn't the only loss suffered by the Redskins' defense this weekend, as the team lost DE Adam Carriker as well.Fantasy Spin:The loss of two starters in the front seven is going to take a toll on the Washington defense. The two combined for 14.5 sacks last season and teams facing the Redskins should be more successful with both players out of the lineup.
