Look for Trung to be #1 coming of the bye in two weeks. Ramsey will need that time to rest as well.

Couldn't find anything in the Washington Post! [smiley=shrug.gif] I'm sure the quote's somewhere, but... Anyway, here's the read on "The REAL Feed", though:

Well, via "the Gridiron Newsstand" I found a Washington Post piece on Ladell Betts's status for their next game. It actually says that he could miss the Dallas game, not that he definitely will. Here's the article:

In the other big news for the Redskins, the team gave up on Rob Johnson. They signed young journeyman Tim Hasselbeck to replace him as Patrick Ramsey's backup and given Patrick's injury, maybe even more sooner than later. Here's what's on "the Newsstand" regarding this:
