Phil Taylor is out for the season after tearing his left quadriceps tendon, leaving the Washington Redskins with a big void to fill on the defensive line. Coach Jay Gruden said the veteran nose tackle, who was injured Sunday in the third preseason game , will have surgery on Wednesday. "I feel terrible for Phil because he did a great job at getting himself ready to play," Gruden said Tuesday. Following the injury and MRI that revealed the tear, Hood sent Taylor some words of encouragement to keep the well-respected 29-year-old's spirits up. NOTES: Gruden said third QB Nate Sudfeld will play the entire fourth preseason game Thursday at Tampa Bay.
