Washington Redskins QB Rex Grossman will start Sunday’s game against Dallas over Donovan McNabb, according to Kelli Johnson of CSN Washington. Offensive Coordinator Kyle Shanahan stated Thursday that Grossman was not receiving increased reps in practice, but that is obviously not the case. The team has no reason to start Grossman, as he is not [...]

The Washington Redskins have suspended DL Albert Haynesworth for the rest of the 2010 season for conduct detrimental to the team. Haynesworth reportedly showed up hungover and late to Friday’s practice last week, causing his deactivation for Sunday’s game against the Giants. The Redskins obviously had no choice but to rid themselves of the distraction [...]

The Washington Redskins have placed RB Clinton Portis (groin) on injured reserve, ending his season. Portis re-injured his groin/abdomen area while attempting to return in Week 11. His tenure in Washington is likely over, as the Redskins are sure to address the running back position this offseason. Portis’ days as a feature-back are long gone.

Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis is expected to return for Sunday’s game against Tennessee, according to Coach Mike Shanahan. Portis will likely split work with Keiland Williams with Ryan Torain (hamstring) ruled out, making both undesirable plays this week. Portis can likely regain control of the backfield with a strong week or two, so it’s [...]

Washington Redskins SS LaRon Landry (Achilles) and CB Carlos Rogers (hamstring) are not expected to play Sunday against Tennessee. Landry has been dealing with an Achilles strain for several weeks now, while Rogers injured the hamstring during last week’s blowout loss to Philadelphia. It’s hard to say the Redskins’ 31st ranked pass defense will be [...]

Washington Redskins QB Donovan McNabb’s five-year contract extension is reportedly contigent on the team picking up a $10 million bonus at the end of the 2010 season, according to ESPN.com. The $10 million bonus will then trigger the five-year, $78.5 million contract extension which would begin in 2011 and contain $40 million in guaranteed money. [...]

The Washington Redskins have signed QB Donovan McNabb to a five-year, $78 million extension through the 2015 season. Apparently McNabb and Coach Mike Shanahan will have to co-exist after all. McNabb gets $40 million guaranteed, despite being in the midst of his worst season in years at age 34. While McNabb figures to be an [...]

Washington Redskins RB Ryan Torain (hamstring) was active for Monday’s game against Philadelphia, but did not play. Keiland Williams started for the Redskins and played a majority of the snaps at running back. Wet conditions almost certainly had an impact on Torain’s playing status, although the game was out of hand so early it’s unclear [...]

Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (groin) is not expected to play Monday night against Philadelphia, according to Jason La Canfora of NFL Network. Ryan Torain will likely start and dominate touches for one more week. The fact that Portis was so close to returning bodes well for his Week 11 status. Washington’s backfield will likely [...]

Washington Redskins RB Ryan Torain (hamstring) returned to a full practice on Monday. Torain left Washington’s last game before their Week 9 bye with a strained hamstring, so it looks like he’ll be good to go this week, barring a setback. Keiland Williams will continue to back up Torain, as Clinton Portis (groin) is still [...]
