Albert Haynesworth Gritty, Grumpy in First Game With Redskins
7 COMMENTS
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The easy conclusion, if you like jumping to those, is that Albert Haynesworth didn't do much in his Redskins debut. The stat sheet says four tackles -- one for a loss. The Giants put 23 points on the board and won the game. And Haynesworth didn't feel a whole lot like talking about it when it was over.But with Haynesworth, the easy conclusion misses the point. The numbers to look at are on New York's side, where Brandon Jacobs came up with just 46 yards on 16 carries and the Giants, who led the whole way, were unable to grind out the clock in the second half. The Redskins' defensive line, with their massive free-agent acquisition in the middle, smothered Jacobs and the Giants' running game all night. Not that you'd have known it from the big fella's mood in the locker room.

Report: Anthony Gonzalez Strains Knee Ligament, Out 2-6 Weeks
Early in the season opener Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Colts' No. 2 wideout Anthony Gonzalez left the game with a non-contact, apparent knee injury. After some evaluation in the locker room, reports say the preliminary diagnosis was that he'll miss anywhere from two to six weeks with a strained ligament in his right knee. There will be more testing Monday and the team will keep an eye on any swelling, but, for now, it appears he's on the shelf for a while.The third-year receiver suffered the injury while running a route. It seemed a freakish-type injury, considering he wasn't making a hard cut with the ball nor was he hit.
