Week 3: Redskins vs. Rams Gameday thread

Other inactives RI:


Trent Williams apparently inactive for Rams game

Rookie left tackle Trent Williams, who suffered knee and toe injuries during last week's loss to Houston, apparently will be inactive for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams.

Williams practiced only on Friday this week and was listed as questionable for the Rams game. According to ESPN980, Williams is among the inactives in what would have been his third NFL game. That means Stephon Heyer will move into the starting lineup - either at left tackle for Williams, or at right tackle. That would send Jammal Brown to the left side, where he played for the bulk of his career with the New Orleans Saints.

Also expected to be inactive is receiver Anthony Armstrong, who suffered a groin injury last week. That means third-year wideout Devin Thomas could see his first action from scrimmage of the season. Thomas has been used only on special teams through the first two games.

The other inactives: John Beck is the third quarterback, new running back Chad Simpson, defensive end Jeremy Jarmon, defensive lineman Anthony Bryant, safety Chris Horton and linebacker Perry Riley.

Thus, rookie tight end Logan Paulsen will be active for the first time. And, as expected, free safety Kareem Moore will make his season debut after missing the first two games with a knee injury.

Defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth, who missed the Houston game with a sprained ankle, is also active today. People in the organization said Haynesworth appeared to be committed to practice during the week, and some expect him to have a significant impact against the Rams -- which would be his first impact in the Mike Shanahan era.
