Redskins' Taylor listed as probable for Sunday Ashburn, VA (Sports Network) - Washington Redskins defensive end Jason Taylor
practiced on Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the
St. Louis Rams.
Taylor has missed two games since undergoing surgery to repair a calf injury

The Washington Redskins will likely cut rookie punter Durant Brooks, as they will bring in punters for auditions Tuesday, according to the Washington Post.
Our View:Brooks was horrendous on Sunday against St. Louis, including one that went a pathetic 26 yards. He is last in the NFL with a net average of just 32.1 yards.
Redskins cornerback Leigh Torrence was taken down with a forearm by Rams coach Jim Haslett during punt coverage, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He was going to run me over or I was going to get him. I got a good shot on him. You see those coaches that get toppled. That wasnt going to be me. Hes not that big. Its no big deal, said Haslett.
Our View:You have to love that fire from a coach, no matter who you root for. Former Rams coach Scott Linehan would have probably let Torrence run him over.
Chris Samuels was unable to run with teammates during conditioning work today and could miss practice time this week with a sprained knee, according to the Washington Post. Samuels said he did not require further tests and is able to walk with a slight limp. He added, "I think I'm fine. It's a mild sprain."
Our View:He will get treatment and be evaluated throughout the week heading into Sunday's battle against Cleveland. Samuels is still an elite left tackle and the anchor of the Redskins' offensive line.
