Redskins Preview: Ryan Torain’s Breakout Party

Injuries have been the center of Redskins universe this week for better, worse, and medium. The backfield will be without Clinton Portis and his separated groin for four to six weeks, leaving a ready and able Ryan Torain as the starting running back. Rookie offensive lineman Trent Williams returned to practice this week, and although he’s been limited, coach Mike Shanahan is optimistic that he’ll play. Finally, Hunter Smith has been brought back to punt in place of the injured Josh Bidwell, which can only mean one thing…it’s time for the swinging gate! Although not confirmed, the defense may be without Albert Haynesworth this weekend, as his brother was reportedly killed in a motorcycle accident on Thursday. Haynesworth’s absence would create a hole in the defense on passing downs, leaving Aaron Rodgers and the visiting Green Bay Packers to salivate at the opportunities before them.
