The Washington Redskins on Thursday placed both safety Tanard Jackson and running back Tristan Davis on the physically unable to perform list. Jackson had been released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in April due to a failed physical, but was signed a short time later by the 'Skins. The 27-year-old, who underwent offseason shoulder surgery, was suspended for over a year in 2010 for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. He started 10 games last season after being reinstated and finished with 35 tackles and two interceptions. Davis is a 26-year-old undrafted Auburn product.

Ex-NFL QB Colt Brennan arrested for DUI and drug possession
What is disturbing about this is Colt Brennan survived a near fatal car accident not to long ago, so more than anyone he should know the dangerous of driving while impaired.

Redskins concerned about Roy Helu’s durability
With training camp opening up, the Washington Redskins are looking for veteran Tim Hightower to be the starter coming out of the back field even though he’s coming off ACL surgery.
According to Mike Jones of the Washington Post, the Redskins are concerned about Roy Helu’s durability. Head coach Mike Shanahan needs him to prove that he can be given a heavier load without getting...
Washington Redskins' Friday Practice; Notes and a New Tradition
Here's we learned from the Washington Redskins' second day of open practices:
The Skins are going to move receivers around the "depth chart," probably often. Yesterday, Pierre Garcon and Josh Morgan were the starting two. Today, Leonard Hankerson was playing opposite Garcon, as the starting duo. Those two have made the most plays so far but the Redskins will...
Redskins claim Dezmon Briscoe off waivers

According to Adam Caplan of TheSidelineView.com, the Washington Redskins claimed former Buccaneers wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe off waivers on Friday, just a day after he was released by Tampa Bay.
I really like this move by the Redskins. They have some talent at the receiver position, but adding a player like Briscoe won’t hurt them at all.
RG3 carries helmets after Redskins practice (Video)
Robert Griffin III may be the Redskins’ franchise quarterback and a player they traded many draft picks to obtain, but he’s not above participating in some traditional rookie hazing.
The former Heisman Trophy winner was filmed by CSN Washington carrying the helmets of his teammates after Redskins practice on Thursday. Some players around the league (and even his teammates) are...
Redskins waive DB Minnifield
The Redskins waived Chase Minnifield on Tuesday, but they'll try to bring him back by adding him to their injured reserve list if he goes unclaimed. Minnifield had knee surgery prior to the draft and suffered a setback that required another procedure recently. The injury will sideline him for the entire 2012 season. Minnifield was in contention for a roster spot and had been...
RG3 carries helmets for Redskin veteran teammates (Video)
Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III, a.k.a. RG3, carried the helmets of some of his veteran teammates after Thursday's practice.
Just because Griffin is a former Heisman Trophy winner and a multi-millionaire doesn't mean he is exempt from rookie "hazing". However, this is a time-honored tradition, and RG3 was a good sport about it.

Reasons For Optimism at Redskins Training Camp
Yesterday, Bill Thompson wrote a piece on the question marks surrounding Redskins training camp and how there are a lot of unproven positions and reasons for concern when looking over the entire Skins roster. While I don’t fall in to the category of the delusional Redskins fans who always say we are going to win the Super Bowl in the offseason, I do consider myself a homer...
Left guard back after major knee surgery
After being cut by two teams, Kory Lichtensteiger had found a home with the Washington Redskins in his third NFL season, only to see his career turn again with a major knee injury last October.
As training camp opens, Lichtensteiger is solidly back in his old spot between left tackle Trent Williams and center Will Montgomery.
The 27-year-old Bowling Green product acknowledges he...
Redskins To Add To Crowded Backfield By Signing Cedric Benson Or Ryan Grant?
Nobody ever said that Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan was on the Christmas card list of fantasy football owners. Never has a coach changed his mind and backtracked on who his starting running back is than Shanahan, causing many to actually have a name for his actions.
Shanahanigans.
Well, the frustrating coach is at it again.
The Redskins have a solid running back in Tim...
Tim Hightower Hits The Practice Field
Shanny’s got my back Juan…
The Redskins backfield will be a fantasy nightmare, until Shanny and Son decide on a back. Good luck with that. Apparently, Timmy Hightower “looked good” today. Right. It’s anyone’s guess who will start in their backfield, but I’m still going Helu, for now.
