Fred Davis News

The Philadelphia Eagles enter the final six weeks of this NFL season with their sights set on another postseason berth.

The first round of the 2008 NFL draft came and went without a single receiver or tight end chosen.

Twenty-seven points without a defensive or special teams touchdown. Almost 400 yards while missing Pro Bowl players at tight end, running back and left tackle.

In the long, storied history of the Redskins-Cowboys rivalry, there have been countless opportunities at glory.

Another quarter, another injury - possibly major - for the Redskins. Right guard Chad Rinehart injured his right ankle on the Redskins' first possession of the quarter, and was taken off the field on a cart.

In two games as the Redskins' starting tight end, Fred Davis has six catches for 76 yards.

Congratulations to Redskins Hunter "the punter, runner and passer" Smith on being named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.

Putting a bow on the Redskins' 27-17 win over Denver. *The Redskins set offensive highs in points , yards , rushing yards and time of possession .

Hunter Smith has long wondered what it would be like to throw a touchdown pass in an NFL game.

It only took the Broncos a few minutes to take a 7-0 lead. Kyle Orton hit Brandon Marshall for a 40-yard touchdown and it looked like it would be a long day for the Skins.

Rogers senior quarterback E.J. Tucker, the City League player of the year, has committed to play football at the University of Toledo.

Ryan Clark may be saying everything he needs to say with his growing silence. The Pittsburgh Steelers safety is usually one of the team's most talkative players.

With tight end Chris Cooley propped up on crutches, watching the team's latest loss from the sidelines, the Redskins got mixed results from his replacements.

In an odd twist, it was the Redskins' offense that battled back and their high-priced defense that let them down late in Sunday's 31-17 loss at Atlanta.

CAN OFFENSE STEP IT UP? The Redskins' offense has to be better all-around. From Campbell's decision making, throwing accuracy and poise in the pocket, to the offensive line's blocking to receivers getting open.

Tight end Fred Davis has prepared well in anticipation of his first career start Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome, quarterback Jason Campbell said.

When the Redskins return from their bye, wide receiver Devin Thomas and tight end Fred Davis should have an increased role in the offense.

With Pro Bowl tight end Chris Cooley sidelined at least a few weeks after leg surgery, second-year tight end Fred Davis moves to the top of the depth chart for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome.

For most of this season, the Washington Redskins have been a punch line for their inability to take advantage of a soft early season schedule and the constant tumult surrounding coach Jim Zorn and the front office.

Emerging from the bye week, the Redskins plan to make some personnel changes before this weekend's game at Atlanta, none bigger than replacing primary punt returner Antwaan Randle El with DeAngelo Hall.

Danny Smith, special teams coordinator, will focus this week on helping Hall prepare to handle the majority of returns against the Falcons, and Santana Moss is expected to continue as a change-of-pace returner, a league source said.

When asked about the move after practice at Redskins Park, Coach Jim Zorn said a final decision has not been made, but acknowledged 'one of the things that's going to happen is we're going to get another guy involved in punt returning and that's going to be DeAngelo.'
