Yikes! That is not the way we want them to start the season.

What a fool believesssssssssss . . .

can it be true - 1st?

Please oh please let this injury be minor.

it is not true - 3rd is the second loser

can't do it

Geez I hope he's ok!

Our Katie Carrera reports that Bubba Tyer just went through the press room and said that they aren't yet certain what degree sprain Samuels has suffered. He'll have an MRI tonight.

Is Gibbs pushing these guys harder this year they seem to be dropping like flys (at least the rookies) - I hope Samuels is fine!

What an awful way to start the summer. I swear we are cursed as Skins fans.

Do not be surprised if Samuels is not back in time for the opener. I'll 6 to 8 weeks as a best case scenario. Let's hope I'm wrong.

So depressed...

Don't forget we have a natural tackle with Wade. Perhaps one of the other lineman will be a good guard. We still have options. It is way to soon to be depressed.

Hope Samuels is alright or the Todd Wade guard experiment could be over before it even starts.

Ricky B we are cursed because they moved the team to Maryland, note how terrible we've been ever since!!!

However I'm an optimist & believe as long as Smoot is ok we're in good shape.

THE SEASON IS OVER!!!!!

Mark (in 21132) ya beat me to the punch.

Cyn Cyty, WHO is Katie Carrera? Picture? Please?

Nate Dogg, from a couple threads ago:

Jasno, Cindy, DAMN it feels good to have you guys and the Skins back!

While I do wholeheartedly share your sentiments, please apologize to Jack's kids.

Thanks!

Katie is one of our summer interns. I don't have a photo. Whaddya think I am, Facebook? :)

I'm just gonna save a little time here and issue 15 in-advance SJKs.

Time for a trade with the Broncos?

Thanks, Cyn! The fact that she's an intern makes her even more intriguing! (SJK)

Isn't it past your bedtime, Jack's kids?

Todd Wade has never played LT to my knowledge. If Samuels injury is major and him or Fabini have to play there, we are in a world of hurt.

I'm torn.

Sounds like it is time for the birth of CytyBook!!!

Does she wear a beret? Yeah, you don't want The Great Fabini in there if you can help it. What # is Fabini wearing? You're gonna be hearing it a lot.

I don't think you're torn, Chris Samuels' MCL!
Samuels limped through the room, too, and he also thinks it's minor...the kind of thing that they'll baby along for a couple of weeks. Still, they'll know more around 10 tonight, after the MRI.

CytyBook - a possible joint collaboration business start-up by Cindy and P Diddy.

Do you all honestly believe that the loss of Samuels automatically means a lost season? Where are you all drinking so I can send a cab??? How much is the Grey Goose? He's key but not a dealbreaker.

CytyBook....oh, my, me likey!!!!!

Lisa can set up and book the publicity tour for CytyBook.

Oh, this is just sheer genius!

Another brilliant business start-up idea, brought to you by:

Cindy,

Can you keep count of SJK use (or, more accurately, abuse)? Which do you think we'll hit first: 100K posts or 100K appearances of "SJK"?

How about this: Whoever can go longest without using "SJK" gets his picture in the Washington Post with Dan Snyder buying him a cherry coke at Johnny Rocket's. And whoever uses "SJK" the most times has to buy dinner at Morton's for the offensive line.

Is LaRon in the house yet?

SJKing hater! Guess I'm out.

SMACK--Save your spare change -- the O Line at Morton's could be expensive. Of course, you'll save a bit if Samuels can't make it.

Reports from redskins.com's Training Camp blog is that it's a sprained MCL, but that he's going in for more MRIs tonight.

Incidentally, would we move Wade over (I thought he was more of a mauling RT-type, than a technique-LT type)? If we do, who do we fill the LG with? Pucillo? Tucker? Fabini? Alternatively, do we see what we have in Calvin Armstrong or one of the other young guys?

6:25 p.m. ET
Vinny Cerrato said after practice that LaRon Landry's contract will get done this evening. Cerrato said that Landry is at Redskins Park reviewing the contract now.

Landry is expected to be available to practice on Tuesday.

7:08 p.m. ET
Chris Samuels just walked out of Redskins Park wearing a brace on his right knee. He said he has been diagnosed with a sprained MCL. He is scheduled to have an MRI on the knee tonight to further evaluate the injury.

"We'll see how long it takes for me to get back out on the field," he said.

It's likely that Samuels will be sidelined for several practices, if not this Saturday's scrimmage and possibly a preseason game.

Samuels said that when the injury happened, his first thought was that his season was over.

Well, it appears Chris's season is not over. But it's certainly a scare we could do without.

Did someone fart because this blog stinks?

If you want the real up to date news then come visit my blog.

thanks for the updates cindy.

did someone need a cab up here? who?
int. streets please.

why do i think that samuels going down isn't a big deal? in other years i would've had a heart attack?!

The fact that you're not having a heart attack means the Lipitor is working, Dealer.

I would treat your line to some steaks,KK, and I would pay the waiter $50 to bring Fabini a yellow napkin.

lol cindy! i wrote a smart a$s remark as to why i think so...but decided i've made enough people mad today... :)

it had something to do with jon jansen being the "left" tackle...

just playing people...

peric, this is NOT the real fitzgerald. so chill.

an intern huh? we need a proper introduction cindy. how come jason or you never brought her around to introduce her to us?

hey fake gary, i didn't see an update from you at 1 AM informing us of the landry deal! and you SHOULD have the inside scoop.

so i guess if we want up to the second skins news we should hit pastabelly and not you.

Ummm, I hate to be the bearer of possible bad news, but it is possible to walk almost normally with torn ligaments. The ligaments merely hold the joint in place (they limit the range of motion) so they are only critical when the joint is asked to move in ways that were not originally intended. (By keeping the joint aligned properly, they keep the cartilage from being torn.) The knee doesn't rely too much on the ligaments when walking. A wrap or brace will more or less keep everything in place to make walking possible.

Better hold our collective breath while we wait for the MRI results.

otter, don't worry about it. i just spoke with pastabelly and he said the skins are offering a 1st, 2nd of this year and 5th of 2009 and reaper for atlanta's backup right tackle. i asked lenny if uncle joon knew his right from left...

"hey fake gary, i didn't see an update from you at 1 AM informing us of the landry deal! and you SHOULD have the inside scoop."

That's because there WAS no deal so if you want "fluff" the go read Pastabelly or better yet, this blog. Besides, at 1 AM I'm too busy hanging with the hoochies. Us real writers with close ties to the organization get "fringe" benefits.

so fake gary, what was up with that comment on your blog about "sugarcoating" it? where did you read that and who'd say such a thing?

THE SEASON IS OVER! AN INJURY ON THE 4TH DAY OF CAMP? IT'S OVER! DARN ADAM ARCHULETTA!

Next question.

"It's just a sprain," Samuels said. "I think I'm okay. I didn't feel anything pop, but it was definitely my MCL. I'm going to go get an MRI and we'll see how long it takes for me to get back out on the field.

It's likely that Samuels will be sidelined for several practices, as well as this Saturday's scrimmage against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.

Samuels said that when the injury initially happened, his first thought was that his season was over before it started.

"But the good Lord blessed me and I know that I'm fine," he said.

Head coach Joe Gibbs said he is unlikely to move Todd Wade back to tackle to replace Samuels in the lineup. It's possible that reserve lineman Jason Fabini, who has played mostly tackle in his career, could step in for Samuels.

I'm worried about L2's confidence.

How long will it take L2 to work his way out of ArchDeluxe's shadow up here?

That's ok, they can get Landry to fill Samuels spot!

Oh, that's right he's a safety. This team doesn't draft linemen I forgot. :P

- Ray

I will soon be available because I stink like the team I am currently on.

G's up Hoes down

Well...here we go again! Snake Bit and zero cap. What a bummer! hope for the best

When will we, as Redskins Fans, understand that we suffer from the eternal "Danny Boy" curse! Danny had done so many negative things to this franchise and it's fans that he has doomed the team for the remaining years of his ownership. I've almost resigned myself to understanding that every preseason there will be a debacle like today's. Anyone remember Clinton Portis from last year?? The bottom line is until Danny Boy decides to stop trying to make the world's richest franchise richer and sells the franchise, we are year in and year out going to be the recipient of bad KARMA....GOOD NIGHT NOW!!

Flag on the play

False start on Pinetime, 5 yards.... for

"I've almost resigned myself to understanding that every preseason there will be a debacle like today's. Anyone remember Clinton Portis from last year??"

Its not preseason yet, but I understand your point. The real problem is that when one starter goes down, we all know our lack of depth will shine through to a losing season.

But I am optimistic, we have players, its just all about coachin em up!

One more to 100k

Oh, and SJK
