Buchanon’s return adds depth to the secondary

Cornerback Phillip Buchanon practiced with the Washington Redskins on Tuesday for the first time since the regular season began. His four-game suspension has expired, and he could play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 16. The Redskins have their bye this weekend.

No style points, but Redskins will take it

The Washington Redskins were overjoyed as they filed through the basement of the Edward Jones Dome to their team bus. Not only did they escape with a 17-10 victory over the St. Louis Rams, their upcoming bye week gives them an extra week to savor it.

Seven sacks spark effort in Redskins’ 17-10 triumph over Rams

There was no uneasiness or frustration inside the Washington Redskins' defensive huddle in the fourth quarter Sunday when that group was called upon to clean up the offense's mess and save the day. The surging St. Louis Rams were only 19 yards from eviscerating Washington's 17-point lead. Suddenly, a Redskins victory that had seemed certain minutes earlier was in extreme danger.

Former Rams first-rounder Adam Carriker has revitalized his career with Redskins

Currently on the Carriker family's digital video recorder is the three-hour telecast of the Washington Redskins' Aug. 18 preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts. Adam Carriker did not play in that forgettable exhibition because of severe blisters on his heels, but his wife, Angie, recorded it anyway, as she always does.

Redskins mixing up the defensive schemes

There will come a point in Sunday's game, perhaps as early as the first defensive play, when Mike Shanahan and Jim Haslett sound the call to attack.

One blitz too many for Redskins

Regardless of whether you believe DeAngelo Hall's profane rant following the Washington Redskins' 18-16 loss to Dallas on Monday night was an acceptable manifestation of passion or an unprofessional outburst, perhaps he was right about one thing.

Cowboys ground Redskins’ rushing attack

It didn't matter whether Tim Hightower, Roy Helu or even Chris Cooley carried the ball for the Washington Redskins on Monday night, they couldn't consistently move it.

Redskins’ Jim Haslett backs DeAngelo Hall

Cornerback DeAngelo Hall is planning to target quarterback Tony Romo's broken rib on Monday night. That sounds good to Washington Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett.
