Washington Redskins News

In this Nov. 8, 2009 file photo, a member of the Washington Redskins training staff, top, attends to running back Clinton Portis after he received a concussion in the first quarter of an NFL football game against the Atlanta Falcons in Atlanta.

The Cowboys begin a two-game homestand when they host the Redskins on Sunday. The Redskins come into Dallas riding high off their win against the Denver Broncos.

This is the concluding column of the analysis I am doing on market conditions around the NFL .

The Minnesota Vikings signed Coach Brad Childress to a contract extension on Thursday, nine games into what is shaping up as a promising season for the men in purple.

Washington Redskins kick returner Rock Cartwright remembers his brain "shaking like a bell" when he was walloped in a game against the New York Giants a few years ago.

Kyle Orton is tackled by Redskins defensive tackle Kedric Golston and defensive end Brian Orakpo during the second quarter.

"To me, if you're any type of fighter, you're going to respond and fight, and I think that's what he's going to do," secondary coach Jerry Gray said.

The most remarkable aspect of the upset pulled by the Washington Redskins on Sunday lies not in the fact that they finally won again, but rather in the surprising players who led them to victory.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Sidney Rice, Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson and Washington Redskins punter Hunter Smith have been named the NFC's top players for Week 10 of the NFL season.

In the tradition of Johnny Lawrence graciously handing over the All-Valley Karate Tournament trophy to Daniel LaRusso--who had previously been beaten, mugged and debilitated by the Cobra Kai -- Cowboys center Andre Gurode and Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth have apparently buried the hatchet.

Lying pressed against the artificial turf inside the Georgia Dome, briefly unconscious and later unable to remember what happened, Clinton Portis looked like he smacked into a wall.

"You get a concussion, they've got to take you out of the game. So if you can hide it and conceal it as much as possible, you pay for it the next day, but you'll be able to ... stay in the game."-Washington Redskins fullback Mike Sellers.

Here's a warning for fantasy football players who are deeply immersed in the pregame ritual of poring over every available NFL stat: Don't believe them.

Washington Redskins punter Hunter Smith iwas named the NFL's special teams player of the week for his 35-yard touchdown pass last Sunday that helped upset the Denver Broncos 27-17 at FedEx Field.

At least Redskins fans, living in and around the nation's capital, know their foreign affairs.

The Spokane Shock announced on Monday that quarterback Casey Hansen and defensive lineman Vaka Manupuna were added to the 2010 roster.

Behind Levi Jones and an again-revamped line, Jason Campbell , Ladell Betts and the Redskins' offense had their best day, scoring 27 points and gaining 388 yards.

When he last saw the Broncos, DeAngelo Hall was making his regular-season debut for Oakland.

He's one of the team's longest-tenured players, but after his best game in nearly three years, Ladell Betts joked that he had forgotten how to get to the postgame interview room.

Hunter Smith's cross-field touchdown pass on a fake field goal will dominate the highlight shows from now until Christmas, but that bit of chicanery wasn't the main reason why the Washington Redskins beat Denver yesterday.
