‘That’s the Marcus I know’
- Linebacker Marcus Washington bounded onto the field, stopping to leap and bump chests with corner Fred Smoot; then exulting his teammates; then bouncing in the huddle. He did it Tuesday; he did it any number of days in previous practices.

Bugel takes leave to be with daughter
- Once more, the Redskins have to deal with a potentially tragic situation. Offensive line coach Joe Bugel left the team to be with his daughter, Holly, who is in Houston fighting cancer.

Zorn confident despite injuries
- The timetables remain sketchy; the optimism is not. The Redskins are confident that several key players will return from injury, some as soon as this week.
Zorn is focused on task at hand
- Jim Zorn isn’t wasting a lot of time on wondering what his emotions will be like for his home debut Saturday night. He has too many other things to worry about.
Kelly has surgery on knee
- The Redskins drafted two receivers in the second round, hoping they would boost their passing attack. They still might. But it looks like it'll take a while after yet another setback Monday — Malcolm Kelly underwent arthroscopic surgery and will miss at least two weeks.
Skins sharp in win over Colts
- They celebrated the past on Saturday, with Art Monk and Darrell Green entering the Hall of Fame. Three plays into the preseason opener Sunday, the Redskins celebrated the present and envisioned the future.

Skins cautiously optimistic about Rogers
- Carlos Rogers maintained his stance. The Redskins wavered on theirs, if only just a little.

Detailed report
- The details don’t escape Jim Zorn, which Jason Campbell likes. He demands Campbell throws it to the proper shoulder of the receiver. He demands Campbell stay lower in the pocket, the better to be mobile.

Jansen on the comeback trail
- The picture serves as a daily reminder, one that Jon Jansen wants — even if it leaves teammates stomachs a bit wobbly. Jansen’s leg is facing one way; his foot is pointed the other way. And his future, at that time, was pointing in several directions.
The man in the middle
- London Fletcher starts another year. Which means he’ll probably have a good one. Which means he’ll hear more talk of the Pro Bowl. Which means he’ll end up not going.
Freedom of the press
- The desired philosophy meshes with the talent. The Redskins want to play more tight coverage off the line of scrimmage. They also happen to have the necessary ingredients to make it work.

It’s life on the learning curve
- Malcolm Kelly leaps, catches the ball and everyone’s attention. It happened on the first day of practice, with Kelly outjumping two smaller defensive backs. That’s exactly what the Redskins envision.
Mixed emotions
- The beloved end stood on crutches in the lobby, surrounded by cameras and notepads, recounting a day of tears. Hours later, the prized acquisition, looking dapper in a dark suit and tie, entered the packed auditorium to applause.
