Wednesday Notes

- Shawn Springs has been in practice this week and he should be a go for this Sunday against the Saints. He injured his calf on Sept. 1, was listed as probable for Week 1, but had to sit because it was too swollen still. Springs return to the starting lineup gives the Redskins a huge boost as it allows Smoot to step back as the 3rd CB. Springs is by far the best corner and he was sorely missed last week againast Plaxico & Co.


- Second round WR Malcolm Kelly was back at practice taking part in individual drills, but sat out 11-v-11 drills. He is nursing a knee problem that made him miss all of pre-season. He has always been an injury concern, so this is none too suprising.
