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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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; [...]
