Another football season is upon us as the Washington Redskins will open preseason play Thursday night at the Baltimore Ravens. While the Redskins and Ravens aren't exactly the most heated of rivals, the proximity of the teams and their respective fan bases should allow for more than the usual level of interest in the preseason opener.
As per usual, most of the usual Redskins starters will play only a series or two if at all. Running back Clinton Portis and new defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth have already been scratched from play tonight while a hamstring injury to wide receiver Santana Moss should keep him out as well.
The top level of interest for evaluation tonight may be at the quarterback position. With starter Jason Campbell expected to have a short night, Todd Collins, Colt Brennan and Chase Daniel will all compete to establish their spots in the team pecking order. Shaun Suisham and Dave Rayner will vie for the one and only kicking spot.
Start time for the contest is set for 7:30 p.m. for air in the Washington, D.C. area on WRC/4 & Comcast SportsNet television, WTEM/980 radio and its sister stations.Labels: pro football, sports, washington redskins
