Redskins Lose Randy Thomas With Triceps Injury
The offensive line of the Redskins has suffered another big blow. Right guard Randy Thomas has a triceps injury early in last night’s road win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Jason Fabini stepped in for Thomas. Coach Joe Gibbs says a tear in the triceps might keep Thomas out of action for awhile. Washington already lost right […]

The Redskins have a rugged NFC East test with the Philadelphia Eagles on the road tonight. The “City of Brotherly Love” hasn’t been very friendly to the “Burgundy and Gold.” The Birds have grabbed 10 of the last 14 games played between the rivals. Last year, Washington was drilled, 27-3.

In what will provide a test for the Washington Redskins’ young defensive line, the team has downgraded defensive end Philip Daniels to “doubtful”, making his availability for the Monday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles less than likely.

Looking to shore up their wide out core, the Redskins on Tuesday signed former Pats and Chargers wide receiver Reche Caldwell. He had been with the Pats this past training camp, but was let go. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Last season in New England, Caldwell started 14 of 16 games catching 61 […]
Washington Dealing With Season Ending Injury to Jansen
The Redskins are coming to terms with losing offensive tackle Jon Jansen for the season with a dislocated right ankle. The injury was described in detail to reporters on Monday, as Jansen’s fibula was broken and his ankle dislocated when his right foot was stepped on by Miami linebacker Zach Thomas. Jansen spoke to reporters by phone from his home. The injury that will require surgery […]
Overtime Fine for Redskins in 16-13 Win over Miami
The Redskins rode the right leg of Shaun Suisham to an exciting 16-13 win over the Miami Dolphins in overtime to kick off the regular season in Landover. Suisham booted a 39-yard field goal about five-and-a-half minutes into the extra session to carry Washington to victory at FedEx Field. A nine-yard carry by Clinton Portis set […]
