Jansen, Evans and Horton To Start
DE Jason Taylor (leg) and WR Malcolm Kelly (ankle) are out.
RT Stephon Heyer (shoulder) is active, but Jon Jansen is starting.
Chris Horton starts for Reed Doughty at strong safety.
Demetric Evans replaces Taylor.
The rest of the inactives are pretty much the same scratches as last week:
OL Jason Fabini, OL Chad Rinehart, DE Erasmus James, CB Justin Tryon, S Justin Hamilton. Colt Brennan is the 3rd QB.

when or rather, will erasmus james be able to play? sure could use him, with JTaylor out. M Kelly might want to place a resume with easterns to sell cars, he sure can't get on the field. btw, the FO didn't notice how injury prone he was in college???
here's to hoping for a few breaks in D and a victory for the Skins.

Blache put a smile on my face with this one...a move so long overdue in starting Horton. I had flashbacks to last year's 4TD romp with T.O. and I remembered how Doughty got tooled so much in that game.

The guy had a serious injury last year. When he played he was good. What's the rush? It's the fourth game of the season and he's at least contributed as much as Malcolm Kelly.

Not sure why Fox allows Aikman to call this game. He clearly has loyalties that do not allow him to call the game impartially. He makes a comment about an "obvious" holding call on a passing play that is very much debatable.
