Redskins' defensive end Jason Taylor will miss anywhere from ten days to two weeks with a sprained knee, according to The Washington Post. The injury could put Taylor's streak of 130-straight regular season starts in jeopardy. The sprain initially looked serious, but x-rays were negative.

Washington defensive end Jason Taylor left Saturday's preseason loss to Carolina with a sprained knee, according to The Associated Press. An x-ray showed no serious damage, but Taylor will undergo an MRI on Sunday. He was hurt when his leg bent awkwardly after he ended up in the middle of the pile following DeAngelo Williams' 5-yard run midway through the second quarter. "I spoke to him. He's in good spirits," defensive end Andre Carter said. "We'll just have to see."

Redskins' running back Clinton Portis wants to be healthy for the 2008 season, but claims that he isn't worried about getting hurt, according to The Washington Post. "I can't be worried about getting hurt," Portis said. "If I get hurt, I get hurt. I got to go out and play football." Portis rushed for 1,262 yards and eleven touchdowns in Washington last season.

QB Brett Favre was solid in his Jets debut after a week of learning his new playbook. He threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Dustin Keller to cap his second series in a 13-10 loss to the Redskins on Saturday night, according to an Associated Press report.

The trial for the four men accused of murdering Redskins' safety Sean Taylor has been delayed until 2009, according to The Associated Press. A judge on Friday set a new trial date of March 3, 2009. It had been set for later this month. All four men have pleaded not guilty and are being held without bail and face possible life in prison if convicted.

Brett Favre will start for the Jets in their preseason game against the Redskins next Saturday, according to The Associated Press. "It's been difficult," Favre said after practicing for the first time with his new team on Saturday. "It's a pretty difficult offense to learn, and I'm sure the one I've been in the last 16 years has been difficult, too. It'll take some time, but I think we'll be fine." "I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I've got this offense down, that I know every guy in the locker room or they know me," Favre said after he learned that Eric Mangini had named him the starter for their next game. "It's a routine, and I'm just kind of following them. That's different for me."

Redskins' rookie wide receiver Malcolm Kelly will miss two weeks of action after undergoing knee surgery on Monday, according to The Washington Post. Kelly is Washington's sixth player to have surgery during training camp. "It has been kind of stiff," Coach Jim Zorn said of Kelly's knee. "We do things as soon as we can if there is a problem, and that's why the Redskins had [Dr. James] Andrews evaluate Kelly."

The Washington Redskins topped the Indianapolis Colts 30-16 in the annual Hall of Fame weekend game on Sunday night, according to The Associated Press. Rookie Colt Brennan threw a pair of touchdown passes in the second half to help Washington overcome a 13-9 halftime deficit. "Taking my first snap, I went to the line, took a deep breath and thought to myself, 'Just have fun out here tonight,' " Brennan said. "And I had a lot of fun." Peyton Manning did not play following minor left knee surgery.
