Redskins fans, players, coaches and especially Jason Taylor breathed a sigh of relief when an MRI confirmed he has just a sprain in his knee. Taylor hurt his knee in a pile when his leg bent like legs aren't supposed to bend.
"It looks like there's no ligament damage," coach Jim Zorn said. "He could be out for 10 days or as much as two weeks. We are just waiting to see what type of a heeler he's going to be."
By the way, that's an AP story via ESPN.com that misspelled "healer".
It isn't known if Taylor will miss the Redskins season opener against the New York Football Giants. Remember that the game is on Thursday, September 4th ... making it on the best-case-scenario side of the prognosis.
I think he'll miss that game, giving him another ten days to get it healthier.
The Giants also lost their big name defensive end yesterday, when Osi Umenyiora blew out his knee against the Jets.
