The Washington Redskins are back on the field for the first time in two weeks. They will be without two starters: Wide receiver DeSean Jackson and running back Matt Jones.

Jackson has a shoulder injury. He did not practice during the week and was ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings by Friday.

Jones was a healthy scratch Sunday. Undrafted rookie Robert Kelley will be the starting running back.



The other inactive Washington players are: Quarterback Nate Sudfeld, defenisve lineman Jordan Hill, tackle Blaine Clausell, guard Arie Kouandjio and defensive end Matt Ioannidis.

Tight end Derek Carrier was activated from the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform on Saturday to replace Niles Paul, who is out for the year because of a shoulder injury. The Redskins waived cornerback Dashaun Phillips to make room on the 53-man roster for Carrier.

The inactive players for the Vikings: QB Taylor Heinickeo, WR Laquon Treadwell, CB Captain Munnerlyn, CB Marcus Sherels, G Willie Beavers, G Zac Kerina and DT Sharrif Floyd.
