Redskins Place Chris Samuels On IR

Washington Redskins Pro-Bowl left tackle Chris Samuels has been placed on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season.
Samuels will require surgery after tearing his right triceps in the fourth quarter of the 24-10 loss. Also placed on injured reserve was offensive lineman Justin Geisinger, who sustained a meniscus injury in his left knee while serving as an emergency fill-in for Samuels and injured right tackle Jon Jansen.

Jansen, who sprained a ligament in his left knee in the fourth quarter, remains on the active roster, although it remains unclear whether he will be able to play again this season. Stephon Heyer and Jason Fabini are expected to start at tackle Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Redskins stayed busy yesterday. They added tackle Devin Clark from the practice squad and signed former Panthers and Jets guard Will Montgomery. Washington also released defensive end Erasmus James.

All this is great news for quarterback Jason Campbell and his blind side. Not that the side he could see was doing any better.
