The Redskins didn't play last week, but they still managed to start this week with injury news.

Pro Bowl tight end Chris Cooley wasn't the only Redskin to have surgery last week. Special teamers H.B. Blades and Byron Westbrook had their knees scoped on Oct. 27, a day after each tore his meniscus during the 27-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

While Cooley will miss at least three games after Oct. 28 surgery that repaired his fractured right ankle, Blades and Westbrook could return as soon as Nov. 15 against the Broncos since players typically need two to four weeks to recover from such operations.

Linebacker Robert Henson and cornerback Kevin Barnes could make their debuts Sunday in place of Blades and Westbrook, a possibility that the rookies discussed in the shower after Monday's practice. Henson was a sixth-round draft pick from TCU, while Barnes was a third-round selection from Maryland.

"I appreciate the coaches having enough faith to consider activating me," said Henson, who took more reps on both defense and special teams Monday than he had during any previous practice. "I would relish the opportunity. I'm further along than I was in August. I'm a smarter player. Sitting on the sidelines gave me a new perspective on the game. Just listening to the (defensive) calls gave me mental reps."

Barnes said he matured while dealing with being inactive for every game.

"I've been patient, working hard," Barnes said. "But it's been hard not to play a game for two months. I've used that to motivate me. I'm a lot more hungry. I took (football) for granted. College and high school, I could just come out and just play. Here you can have talent, but you have to have the hard work behind it."

Coach Jim Zorn, who neglected to mention the impending surgeries for Blades and Westbrook during his press conference that took place just hours beforehand, said Monday that while Stephon Heyer was "gimping a little bit" during practice, he expects the left tackle to start Sunday at Atlanta. However, Zorn was less sure than he was on Oct. 27 that Levi Jones, signed on Oct. 20, wouldn't fill in for Heyer against the Falcons.

Heyer, sporting a big brace, limped off the field. In the locker room, he said he felt all right before begging off a full interview.

Dear Mr. Snyder,

All I want for Christmas is a real GM and for you to let him run this football team. I know I am asking for a lot but I have been a loyal Redskins fan all of my life. I am much older than you and watching the Redskins since you have been the owner has been difficult at best.

Please find and hire a rea

The Redskins offense is certainly at the bottom of the NFL, but the Defense isn't bad and
I give them a good mark for what they do. 

Yes they have given up some long balls, if they had hit D. Jackson earlier he wouldn't be doing that
dance in the end zone like he did.  But I d

Alright, alright, alright.  I got excited today, and I had visions of 2005 and 2007 when we made valiant runs with long winning streaks to make the playoffs...but...Patrick Crayton ruined that for me.

Everyone blames Shaun Suisham...everyone blames

Usually at this time of year the average fan would not care what some writers would rate prospects unless your a fan of a team that your just waiting for the season to end like most Redskins fans. Out of curiosity i googled who writers think which top college players land where. The order, team needs, who the ...(more)

I say yes. Not be cause Betts did so greatm but because everyone has done better than Portis. Mason, Betts, Cartwright, you name it. He is done. If he really is so beaten up that he can no longer practice then he cant play. If he is not that beat up and just doesn't practice, then he cannot play. The players interviewed said Betts success comes from practicing with the line. They know where he is ...(more)

The Saints will win Monday night, then coming next Sunday to Snyder Field, (well you know what I mean),

Time for the Redskins to be the spoiler and ruin there perfect record attempt and give them there first loss.

Jason Campbell

No matter how good we play, Jason seems to be in the destructive mode. We take the lead interception. We take the lead interception, we have a chance to come back or take the lead interception.  

He can’t ...(more)

Ok, we sit here night after night or close to it, and end up, no matter what thread you begin on,
they all end up saying the samething.  What we need to do, to win.  
Yes, Snyder to get lost,  an Offensive Line,  and then a few more.

So here's something new to discuss and hopefully something we all can relate too.

Ahhh those were the days, remember back in april and may when we all thought the Redskins defense would be so good we would not even need a offense to win games. I miss debating about Colt Brennan and what week he would come in and salvage our season leading us to superbo ...(more)

Another Redskin legend is up for the Hall of Fame-- one of the hoggs. I think Russ has this in the bag and we'll see him inducted in august. Being a bit bias here how come charles mann, dexter manley, and jack kent cooke already in canton? I think snyder is secretly oppossed to having a bust of cooke because behind the podium would be the bust of cooke's ass for snyder to kiss.

Its true, the skins sign MArcus Mason and he will play on Sunday. All you folks screaming for him to be on the team after preseason HOF numbers get your wish. I am not one of those but I really hope he does well if for no other reason to expose Portis for the dog he has become. Betts did fine before getting hurt. Cartwright did fine after Betts got hurt, and Mason will do fine as well. All far sur ...(more)

(POLL) After watching Fred Davis today i have to say it was like night and day compared to cooley. Davis not only is much more athletic with the football but is one HELL OF A RUN BLOCKER something cooley has never done well. We need draft picks next year in the worst way a 1st round pick for cooley is unrealistic, but a 2nd or 3rD is a ...(more)
