Facing lengthy absence? Fitzpatrick (hip) could be out anywhere from a few weeks to the rest of the season, pending the results of Monday's MRI, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Impact The quarterback is believed to have suffered a subluxation of his right hip in the second quarter of Sunday's season-opening loss to the Chargers. He's scheduled for an MRI early Monday, but it isn't clear when Washington will provide an update on the results. Depending on what doctors see, Fitzpatrick could be back within a few weeks or could be facing a multi-month absence. Either way, he's a strong candidate to be placed on injured reserve, which would mean a minimum of three missed games. Taylor Heinicke figures to start at quarterback for Washington in Week 2, hosting the division-rival Giants on Thursday Night Football.
