Chris Cooley’s fond farewell

The best pass-catching tight end in Washington Redskins history shuffled down the steps and out the backdoor of Redskins Park on Tuesday afternoon. Instead of heading to the right and on down to the practice fields, as he did so many times over eight memorable seasons, he made a left.

RG3 bides his time until Redskins’ opener

Robert Griffin III will wear a headset instead of a helmet during the Washington Redskins' preseason finale Wednesday night against Tampa Bay.

Redskins release kicker Neil Rackers, leaving Graham Gano as winner

Graham Gano put it together in his head as he saw veteran Neil Rackers leaving the Washington Redskins' practice facility Monday morning. The two kickers spent the preseason competing for one job, and the sight of Rackers with the contents of his locker represented the end of the battle.

RG3 has solid showing in dress rehearsal for NFL debut

Robert Griffin III knelt near the 20-yard line after Santana Moss surged into the end zone Saturday afternoon. The Washington Redskins' new franchise quarterback had thrown a touchdown in front of the home fans for the first time. It was time to celebrate.

Preseason game delivers 1-2 punch with RG3, Andrew Luck

Robert Griffin III wants you to understand, despite the $35 commemorative T-shirt the Washington Redskins are selling and despite the national telecast, it's not Andrew Luck against him Saturday afternoon. He will play against the Indianapolis Colts' defense in his home debut, and he'll be on the sideline when Luck faces the Redskins' defense.

Cousins, RG3 stay calm amid the storm

As the Redskins continue to develop rookie quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Robert Griffin III this season and beyond, their pocket presence will be a determining factor in their of success.
