Galette knows this pain all too well. He missed all of last season with a torn Achilles, which he suffered in practice. According to ProFootballTalk, this torn Achilles isn't the same one as last season.

The talented player seemed to comment on the injury when he tweeted, "Haven't felt so good best shape of my life and this happens to me. (N)ow (I don't know) what else to (d)o. (W)hen does da rain stop."

Galette showed off his pass-rushing skills in New Orleans, recording double-digit sacks in back-to-back seasons. Despite the success, he was cut by the Saints and picked up by Washington last year but has yet to play a down for the Redskins.
