Carolina Panthers wide receiver Brandon LaFell is listed as doubtful to play this Sunday against the Washington Redskins because of a concussion, according to the team's website. LaFell was unable to practice Friday. "It doesn't (look good for LaFell)," Panthers coach Ron Rivera told Panthers.com on Friday. "We'll see how he is tomorrow, and then we'll go from there." Louis Murphy, Kealoha Pilares and Armanti Edwards are the candidates to replace LaFell as the No. 2 wideout on the depth chart if he cannot play. David Gettis (hamstring) and rookie Joe Adams may also move up. Gettis could be taken off the physically-unable-to-perform list.

Brandon LaFell took a big hit against the Steelers and, according to Panther's head coach Ron Rivera, passed a concussion test on the sideline. If indeed he did pass the sideline testing then it was insufficient because he has been sidelined now, probably for Week 9 at least, with a concussion. If testing wasn't administered this could become a real issue for the Panthers.

RG3 has been a very good quarterback in his early career, but is it beginning to get to his head?

However, Washington is at 3-5 and the Panthers are at 1-6. Because of that, the action is on Washington and yet, the line is still falling as it opened at -4...
