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 praised by Redskins coaches for his ability in offseason workouts. Minnifield, who played at Virginia, is the son of former Browns Pro Bowl cornerback Frank Minnifield.

Ex-NFL QB Colt Brennan arrested for DUI and drug possession

Question marks surrounding Redskins camp
Regardless of what the Capitals, Nationals, or Wizards do…. DC is a Redskins town.
The Redskins fan base (which I am a part of) is a large and committed one. With those great qualities though comes a lot of delusion (which is a group I am not a part of). The Redskins have reason for excitement — actually having what seems to be...
Video: New Adidas Robert Griffin III commercial
It looks like Adidas is hitting the airwaves hard with their new potential superstar Robert Griffin III. Not sure what to make of this commercial as I think it is a little creepy but I understood the concept. With Cam Newton and now Robert Griffin III, it seems rookie and sophomore players are gaining more and more commercial attention in the NFL.
I actually agree with New York Giants...
Redskins Place DB Tanard Jackson, RB Tristan Davis On PUP List
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.

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.

Here’s a picture of Magic Johnson, Jerry Jones and Daniel Snyder on a boat, sans shoes
They’ve also never been in my kitchen.
Magic Johnson uploaded this photo of himself with two of the more polarizing owners in the NFL to his Twitter account. I’ve yet to figure out the context of the pic, or even whose boat this might be on. All I know is, Magic Johnson seems like a genuinely nice guy, Jerry Jones is slowly morphing into a beautiful, elderly Dutch woman...
