A little update on Alridge and Dorsey:
Running backs Anthony Alridge and Dominique Dorsey are competing to make the Redskins' season-opening 53-man roster as special teams players, but coaches also are interested in having a change-of-pace speed back to complement top back Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts. Alridge and Dorsey have home-run potential, coaches said, but in order for either to earn a roster spot, he must hold on to the ball, and Alridge and Dorsey have had problems in that area during camp.
Alridge, who did not practice Sunday and was in the trainers' room receiving treatment for a sprained toe, has been particularly careless, fumbling several times during an afternoon practice last week. He also fumbled in Saturday's intrasquad scrimmage, which disappointed Zorn.
