Redskins No Match for Champions Giants Again 23-7

No Plax. No Problem. That’s certainly going to be a theme in most papers tomorrow. But it proved true once again.
From the get go, on this cold, rainy day in Washington, it was apparent that it was going to be business as usual for the defending Super Bowl Champions. With RB Brandon Jacobs back in [...]

Portis to be 50-50 for Sunday’s Showdown w/ New York

From the Washington Post:
Redskins running back Clinton Portis, who recently added a rib muscle strain to his array of injuries, is considered only “50-50″ to play Sunday against the New York Giants at FedEx Field, Coach Jim Zorn said yesterday. “There’s a chance he’ll be there,” Zorn said after practice at Redskins Park, “but he’s [...]

Skins Waive RB Shaun Alexander

Today the Redskins waived running back and former MVP Shaun Alexander just more than a month after they brought him to the team. Alexander, 31, was added by Washington in mid-October, after being waived by Seattle in the offseason, to serve as a backup to Clinton Portis. Alexander

Week 14 Matchup with Ravens Moved to Primetime

It’s that special time of the year when the NFL starts to throw out their newest invention - flex scheduling.  The league started flex scheduling a few years back to avoid that problem of having a 2-9 vs 1-10 team on prime time, and so far it’s been pretty successful.  With that said, the league [...]

Late FG By Suisham Helps Redskins Edge Seahawks 20-17

Funny thing about Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis, lately he seems to perform better when he is injured as he wasn’t expected to play in Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks, due to some knee issues. But play he did while being injured in the first half; he ran for 143 yards, including key [...]

Portis, Randel El and Samuels Should All Play Sunday

It’s basically a must win for the Skins Sunday in Seattle, but they should at least have most of their big name players back in the lineup. The Washington Post is reporting that left tackle Chris Samuels and WR Antwaan Randle El both missed practice as did RB Clinton Portis, but all three should be [...]

Cowboys Remain Alive In NFC Playoff Chase, Edge Redskins 14-10

The timing for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and cornerback Terrence Newman’s return for Sunday night’s game against the Washington Redskins couldn’t have been more perfect as they were close to being the team on the outside looking in, playoff-wise.  Romo had a splint on his injured pinkie finger, while Newman returned from a sport hernia; [...]

Another Missed Practice for Portis Basically Seals His Fate for Sunday Night

It seems pretty much like a done deal that the Skins will be without leading rusher Clinton Portis tomrrow night when the team takes to the field against the Cowboys on Sunday night football. Portis didn’t practice Friday, and coach Jim Zorn said that if he can play at all, it will only be “in [...]

Portis’ Knee No Better - Unlikely to Play Sunday

It looks more and more that RB Clinton Portis is not going to be able to go Sunday night against the Cowboys. His knee sprain showed no signs of getting any better today, and the back left Redskins Park without speaking to the media about the knee. “I was hoping today that there [...]
