Washington wide receiver Kelvin Harmon suffered a torn ACL in mid-June and will miss the 2020 season, leaving the team short in a position where he has already faced questions.
Harmon said on Twitter that he had surgery on his right knee last week. He also said that he hurt his leg a month ago. Another source said she hurt him while working in the Ashburn area, preparing for training camp.

Harmon was going to compete for an initial job alongside Terry McLaurin. The team selected wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden in the fourth round of the draft in April. Washington also has Steven Sims returning in the slot. But it lacks proven depth and the group overall will be one of Washington’s biggest questions as it enters the season.
Of Washington’s remaining 12 receivers, only one, Cody Latimer, has played more than three seasons. And Latimer is in the bubble after being arrested in May and charged with five felonies stemming from an alleged incident at a poker game. No receiver has caught more than Latimer’s 70 career passes.
Harmon, a sixth-round pick in 2019, added size and a physical presence at 6-foot-2, 215 pounds. He was Washington’s best career blocking receiver and was often used within the red zone because of his ability to break tackles to gain additional yards.
Harmon caught 30 passes for 365 yards last season, but did not score.
