The Washington Redskins will workout free agent QB JaMarcus Russell Tuesday, according to Mark Berman of FOX 26 in Houston. Obviously any quarterback news in D.C. is of note at this point after Coach Mike Shanahan showed zero confidence in Donovan McNabb while benching him on Sunday. It wouldn’t be a shock if McNabb is [...]

Washington Redskins RB Ryan Torain left Sunday’s game against Detroit with a pulled hamstring and did not return. Torain had just 10 yards on nine carries before leaving, although he did add a touchdown through the air. Keiland Williams replaced Torain and scored a touchdown of his own. The Redskins are on bye in Week [...]

Washington Redskins QB Donovan McNabb was benched during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss to Detroit. Rex Grossman entered with the Redskins down only six points, failing to create any momentum. Coach Mike Shanahan stated after the game McNabb will still be the team’s starting quarterback after their Week 9 bye. McNabb was 17-30 for [...]

Washington Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall tied an NFL-record by recording four interceptions in a 17-14 win over Chicago. Hall picked Bears’ QB Jay Cutler four times, taking one back for a score. He also recored seven tackles and four pass defenses in one of the most productive IDP days of all-time. Needless to say, we’d [...]

Washington Redskins TE Chris Cooley (concussion) is expected to return to practice Thursday, according to Coach Mike Shanahan. Cooley’s concussion suffered against the Colts was minor, although it was at least the fourth of his football career. Cooley is on track to start against Chicago on Sunday.

No major trades took place before Tuesday’s 4PM ET NFL trade deadline. Baltimore Ravens RB Willis McGahee and Washington Redskins DL Albert Haynesworth were the two most-talked about players the past few days, but both remained put. The Titans reportedly were interested in Haynesworth, but the Redskins wouldn’t budge off their second-round pick asking price. [...]

Washington Redskins TE Chris Cooley suffered a concussion during Sunday’s loss to Indianapolis. Cooley suffered three concussions during his collegiate career, so we wouldn’t expect to see him in uniform next week against Chicago. Fred Davis took over for Cooley after he went out and would make for a fine waiver addition if Cooley does [...]

Washington Redskins DL Albert Haynesworth is likely to be inactive for Sunday’s game against Indianapolis, according to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports. Haynesworth missed practice time this week while still dealing with the death of his half-brother. If he does play, expect him to be used sparingly. The Colts offensive skill players get a slight [...]

Washington Redskins DL Albert Haynesworth will miss Sunday’s game against Green Bay after his 23-year old half-brother passed away earlier in the week. Haynesworth is coming off his best game of the season, so his loss will have an impact. The Redskins defense still remains a tough matchup for the Packers and Aaron Rodgers this [...]

The Washington Redskins have released WR Devin Thomas. The Redskins reportedly have been trying to trade Thomas for the last week or so, but obviously there were no takers. Thomas’ work ethic has been questioned since he came into the league in ’08. The former second-round pick joins Malcolm Kelly as complete draft busts for [...]
