Question: What the Redskins lack is speed. Why don't coaches try Devin Thomas or Anthony Alridge on kick returns? -- Michael J. Gary: I agree that elite speed is lacking at several key positions, including kick returns.

The Redskins have auditioned a number of running backs and were carrying five on their roster last week before cutting Anthony Alridge and Marcus Mason.

The Redskins didn't make a trade before the 4 p.m. deadline but also re-signed defensive end Renaldo Wynn, signed running back Quinton Ganther and released punter Glenn Pakulak and running backs Anthony Alridge and Marcus Mason .

Sherman Lewis hasn't wasted much time. He's only been the de facto offensive coordinator of the Washington Redskins for a couple of days, but his influence seems to already be coming across.

The Redskins have released running backs Marcus Mason and Anthony Alridge and punter Glenn Pakulak, the team announced on Tuesday.

Jason Campbell will remain the Washington Redskins starting quarterback. Coach Jim Zorn said Tuesday on his ESPN980 radio show that he will stick with Campbell for Monday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Redskins inactives for the Chiefs game are: Hunter Smith P, Kevin Barnes CB, Anthony Alridge RB, Robert Henons LB, Chris Samules OT, Chad Rinehart OG, Marko Mitchell WR, and Anthony Montgomery DL As far as the Burgundy Revolution's Black Out goes, I canvassed the FedEx lots and talked with several people wearing black--none of them were wearing it ...

It seems as if a day doesn't pass without someone stopping me at the grocery store, at a restaurant or after church to ask about the playing status of rookie wide receiver Marko Mitchell.

Insider readers have sent a ton of e-mail expressing their frustration that the team has not signed any free-agent offensive linemen despite its injury problems in that area.

In their ongoing quest to have every unsigned running back on their 53-man roster, the Redskins on Friday worked out former Maryland running back Keon Lattimore, Ray Lewis's brother, but do not plan to sign him because they have no roster room, a league source said.

Longtime NFL assistant Sherman Lewis, who has extensive experience in West Coast offenses, is easing into his new job.

With the total lack of production once again from our dynamic duo of 2nd round recievers, when will Zorn give Marko Mitchell a shot? Could he really do any worse at this point? Kelly 6-65 yards starting in 4 GAMES! Thomas, a big 1-7 yards...TOTAL!!! Is it the fact that putting Mitchell in would validate to everyone else that these two clowns were a ...

Jim Zorn admitted taking some deep breaths as the Washington Redskins dug themselves into a 10-0 hole with a first half that included three turnovers and a game plan that was being torn into ruins by a previously woeful Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense.

Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis is on the active roster for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis is questionable for the team's matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

A year after Moss torched Detroit for nine catches for 140 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown to rally Washington to a 25-17 victory,the team's perennial No.

Running back Clinton Portis was injured in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Lions, Coach Jim Zorn said, and was unavailable for both the drive that pulled Washington within 19-14 and the final possession of the game, on which the Redskins failed to score.

It was a great week for running back Anthony Alridge, whom the Redskins re-signed from the Houston Texans' practice squad on Tuesday.

Coach Jim Zorn, however, said Portis will play. "His ankles have been sore," Zorn said.
