Horton to miss 4-6 weeks
 

Defensive back Chris Horton will be out four to six weeks and, possibly, four to six months because of an injury to his toe, Coach Jim Zorn said in his Monday news conference.
Horton would be out for the longer period of time if the injury requires surgery and is a candidate for the injured-reserve list, Zorn said.
Clinton Portis, who suffered a concussion Sunday, still has a headache and does not remember the play on which he was hurt. "I'd say he's doubtful for this week," Zorn said. "That's just my opinion."
Mike Williams will be out at least two weeks because of a ligament tear in his ankle; he'll see the specialist who performed Chris Cooley's surgery.
H.B. Blades, Jason Campbell and Stephon Heyer should all be okay, Zorn said.

I remember hearing HB got his knee scoped during the bye week, anyone know if hes gots anything else wrong with him?

Re: Horton to miss 4-6 weeks
 

This season just gets better and better doesn't it....:(

Re: Horton to miss 4-6 weeks
 

Portis needs to sit out, not because of play or anything else. Concussions are bad things, and the last thing you want to do is go out and mess with it. No season, no game is worth getting your brain seriously messed up.

Re: Horton to miss 4-6 weeks
 

Even more reason to start Moore at FS and Landry at SS for the remainder of the season. Honestly, Horton has played very much like a 7th rounder this year anyways so no big loss.

The hospital ward is filling up. Somehow the Redskins are just plain cursed in 2009.

Re: Horton to miss 4-6 weeks
 

Now we can't bench Landry.

Re: Horton to miss 4-6 weeks
 

wow when it rains it pours....i guess its better to have injuries when we are playing bad anyways???

Re: Horton to miss 4-6 weeks
 

Yeah we can't win for losing

There's the silver lining! If you must finish in last place, and you must have terrible injuries, it is better to do both at once!

STICK A FORK IN THEM!!! The Redskin season is practically done. Time for some personnel evaluations. They need to find out who is worth keeping for 2010. No one is safe. From the head man Vinny, all the way down to the waterboy. Prove your worth in the second half of the season. If you are not performing, cut him, trade him, bench him, ... , whatever. Get rid of the dead weight.

Agreed, Portis, Campbell, Randel El, Samuels, Randy Thomas, Ladell Betts, Phillip Daniels, just get rid of them!

Get young please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Horton to miss 4-6 weeks
 

one of the most depressing things i saw watching that game (if you can call it that) was seeing cp cooley and samuels all side by side on the bench all in street clothes

Re: Horton to miss 4-6 weeks
 

Horton to IR. Saw on tweeter. To bummed about the season of shambles to post the link

Re: Horton to miss 4-6 weeks
 

all of you calling for landry to be benched are out of line! he missed a tackle, so what! there are another 10 guys that didn't make the tackle either, the guy is out of position and is being ask to be something he is not.

Re: Horton to miss 4-6 weeks
 

Horton had a rocky 2nd season, he made some nice plays but didn't seem to be at his best after an overachieving rookie year. Get well CH & be ready next year. Hope this guy is around for years.

Zorn last night on comcast seemed to say that LL would remain at free safety because he's "good there." I would agree, his speed & range protect against the deep ball. If they'd just get him to tackle better. He did stuff that 3rd & 1 in the 3rd though. Think everyone forgot about that after his whiff of turner on the td.

Promote Lendy Holmes from the PS.

Re: Horton to miss 4-6 weeks
 

Today we IR'd Horton and resigned Ganther, according to PFT. Trustworthy link to follow.

Re: Horton to miss 4-6 weeks
 

I'm excited to see what Kareem Moore can do. I've been calling for him to get some FS action all year. He certainly is much faster than Horton, giving Blache the option to move Landry back to SS.

You guys are going to have to help me out. I didn't think we had any Safeties on the PS but if we did that's cool. I forgot about Lendy Holmes and Kareem Moore, but wasn't Ganther one of the LB's we drafted?

no he is the running back we picked up when samuels went down, but your confusions is very understandable

Re: Horton to miss 4-6 weeks
 

^ Thanks. I found it. He was the guy let go by Tenn. and we picked him up. Why does it seem that everytime we have and injury and put someone on IR we pick up a RB? Mason, Alridge, Ganther...then we cut Ganther last Sat only to bring him back today. :)

Apparently team officials seem to think RB's will fix our problems.

Re: Horton to miss 4-6 weeks
 

^yeah i said somthing about that in another thread it's gotta be close to a record number of rb's on a 53 man roster through out one season

Re: Horton to miss 4-6 weeks
 

More playing time for Kareem Moore. Move the hit-man to SS and play Moore at FS, he's a better talent than Horton who has not stood out the way he did last season. While I hate to see any of our players injured, this could be advantage Moore.
