Redskins defensive end Jason Taylor likely will undergo surgery on his left calf by Monday, coach Jim Zorn said Friday. However, he’s still expected to play against Detroit Sunday.
Taylor visited the doctor Friday to learn more of what might happen — and when the surgery might occur.

Taylor said Wednesday that he was only “60 percent” healed after his Sept. 22 surgery when he developed compartmental syndrome in his calf. He missed two games, but has played the past two games.
It’s too early to know how long another surgery would sideline Taylor, a team source said.
The Redskins acquired him on the first day of training camp to replace the injured Phillip Daniels. Taylor’s impact has not been as hoped thanks to injuries — he also hurt his knee in camp — and switching sides on the defensive line. Taylor spent most of his career on the right side, but is being asked to play on the left side, a spot manned predominately by run-stoppers like Daniels.
