July 23, 2008 As expected, Alex Buzbee has been placed on IR after sustaining a ruptured Achilles.
Our View:He will miss the 2008 campaign, but wasn't going to see much (if any) time in the Redskins' rotation anyway.
July 20, 2008 While the move to add Jason Taylor rules the day's headlines, the Redskins have quietly announced defensive end Alex Buzbee was carted off the field with an ankle injury suffered during special-teams practice this afternoon, is done for the season, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:Buzbee ruptured his right Achilles tendon while back-peddling during a punting drill. A first-year player who spent last season on the practice squad, Buzbee is well regarded for his intelligence and work ethic. Had he not fallen, the Skins might have reserved on the trade for Taylor, but with he and Phillip Daniels both lost for the season, the Fins were able to get the deal done.
