Redskins Vs. Cowboys: Washington Players Couldn't Come Up With One More Play

The Washington Redskins made plenty of plays, but couldn't come up with one more big one to beat the Dallas Cowboys. After the game, the frustration was easily visible in the Redskins' locker room.

Redskins Vs. Cowboys Recap: Redskins Show Fight, But Still Fall To Bitter Rival

LANDOVER, Md. - Barry Cofield aptly described the feeling in the Washington Redskins locker room following their 27-24 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys, one that stretched his team's losing streak to six.

"This [loss] hurts a lot more," the defensive tackle said. "You lose in overtime, you lose to a hated rival, [so] it hurts more."

Indeed, the Redskins fought hard, but were still bested by their bitter rivals in the game's final moments.

"I thought we played extremely hard," head coach Mike Shanahan said. "I thought we kept our poise and I was just disappointed we didn't get the job done."

Coming into the game, the Redskins offense could only be described as non-existent. From breakdowns to penalties to turnovers, they were unable to points on the scoreboard and put immense pressure on their defense.

In the first quarter, the Redskins offensive ineptitude reared its ugly head yet again as a fumble by tight end Fred Davis was recovered by the Cowboys inside Washington territory. Dallas made the Redskins pay for the early mistake when Tony Romo hit Dez Bryant on a 22-yard pass for a score, giving the Cowboys an early 7-0 lead. It was looking like déjà vu all over again as the seven point deficit seems like a mountainous climb for one of the league's worst offenses.

But the Redskins found a way to answer.

After a shanked Dallas punt that put the ball inside Cowboys territory, the Redskins were finally able to cross the goal line. They did so thanks in part to an unorthodox playcall by Kyle Shanahan, who had Grossman run a designed quarterback draw up the middle to end Washington's scoring drought, cutting the Dallas lead to 10-7.

And as rare a feat as it sounds, Washington wasn't done there. They scored another first half touchdown when Grossman hit Jabar Gaffney to give the Redskins a 14-10 lead going into halftime. It was their first lead they have had on an opponent since their October 2 win over the St. Louis Rams.

"We didn't panic," Shanahan said of his team rebounding from the early deficit.

"Sometimes football can have a lot of momentum to it," Grossman said. "I don't know why. One good play kind of leads itself to another one. We got on a roll."

But after a third quarter whose only score was a Graham Gano 40-yard field goal, momentum shifted in the other direction.

In the fourth quarter, after a missed 49-yard field goal attempt by Gano, Dallas was able to counter with a 14-play, 61-yard scoring drive that ended with a Laurent Robinson touchdown grab courtesy of Romo, tying the game at 17.

Dallas wasn't done, delivering what looked to be a dagger as Tony Romo was able to elude pressure and find a wide open Jason Witten, who then streaked down the left sideline and into the endzone for a 59 yard score, giving the Cowboys a 24-17.

"That's Romo," said a dejected Brian Orakpo. "He's like a snake. You got to know where your rushing. He's slippery, he's all over the place."

In the game's waning moments, the Redskins offense was able to respond by driving 89 yards on 12 plays in just over five minutes a series that concluded with an impressive toe-tap touchdown by Donte Stallworth to send the game to overtime.

"It's kind of a situation where I could throw [the ball] to anybody," Grossman said of the play. "I liked the leverage that Donte had and I tried to put it in the back of the end zone where only he could get it. He made a great catch."

It'd be the last play that the Redskins faithful could cheer about in this game.

Washington had a chance to end the game on their first  drive of overtime, but it wasn't to be as a 52-yard attempt by Gano sailed wide right, giving the Cowboys good field to set up a winning kick of their own.

And they did just that when Dan Bailey barely snuck it inside the right upright from 39 yards out to end the game. Though the Redskins had played one of their better games, it wasn't enough.

"It stings more because as a player you understand how much our owner wants to win this game," Grossman said. "We understand how much fans want to win this game."

"We tried our [butts] off and I'm proud of every single player and every teammate. [We] just came up a little short."

Cowboys Vs. Redskins: DeAngelo Hall Says He Would Cut Himself For Poor Play

For the second time this season, DeAngelo Hall was beat in a key play that led to a Dallas Cowboys' win over the Washington Redskins. This time, it was Hall struggling in coverage against Dez Bryant, who slipped past his spot in the zone for a first down on third and 15 that eventually led to Dan Bailey's game-winning field goal and a 27-24 Redskins loss.

After the game, Hall was livid at himself. Here's a transcript of his interview with reporters, via Rich Campbell of the Washington Times.

"I feel like I had a good game up until that point, but when you’re paying a guy the kind of money I’m making, you expect him to make that play. Two times in a row – I would cut myself if I was in the front office."

Later, Hall said if he were in charge, he would be the first one to "run myself out."

Fred Davis Week 11 Fantasy Update: Redskins Tight End Finishes With Six Catches, No Touchdowns Against Dallas

Redskins' tight end Fred Davis had another productive day against Dallas. By the standards he has set this season, however, it was not one of his best games from a fantasy perspective. Davis finished the game with six catches for 49 yards, which included a 24 yard completion from Rex Grossman. He was targeted seven times by Grossman but was held scoreless on the afternoon.

The lowlight for Davis came in the first quarter when he fumbled a ball that was recovered by the Cowboys' Gerald Sensabaugh. The lost fumble would immediately lead to the Cowboys first touchdown of the day and the 7-0 lead. As we've noted already, Davis took exception with the ruling and the fans' criticism of the fumble by posting his thoughts on his twitter account. The six catch, 49 yard performance combined with the overtime loss had Davis feeling a little surly.

Roy Helu Week 11 Fantasy Update: Redskins Running Back Has Quiet Day Against Dallas

It was announced before the Dallas game on Sunday that Ryan Torain would once again get the start over the rookie, Roy Helu. But it was Helu who would get more of the carries on Sunday as the Skins struggled to move the ball on the ground against the Cowboys. Helu finished with 35 yards on eight carries and was kept out of the end zone in the overtime loss to Dallas. As a team, the Redskins would gain less than 60 yards on the ground as both Torain and Tashard Choice averaged around a yard per carry.

Just two weeks removed from breaking Art Monk's receptions record, Helu caught only two balls for a total of three yards. Without John Beck checking down to the running back, Helu's receptions have decreased with Rex Grossman back under center. Both on the ground and in the air, it was a quieter day for the Skins rookie.

Cowboys Vs. Redskins: Fred Davis Wants A Word With Referees, Fans On Fumble

Rex Grossman Week 11 Fantasy Update: Redskins Quarterback Throws For Two Touchdowns Against Cowboys

The much maligned Rex Grossman had his best game since leading the Skins to a Week 2 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The Skins' quarterback finished the day 25 of 38 for 289 yards, spreading the ball around to nine different pass catchers. Grossman also finished with two touchdowns on the day, hooking up with Jabar Gaffney and hitting Donte Stallworth with a beautiful pass to the corner of the end zone to tie the game with 14 seconds remaining.

"Bad Rex" showed up for a moment in the fourth quarter, when Grossman was picked off by Orlando Scandrick. It was Grossman's only interception of the day - the first game since Week 3 against the Cowboys where he did not have a multi-interception game. But based on how the Skins' offense has looked at times this season, the 289 yard, two touchdown performance should please Grossman fantasy owners.

Cowboys Vs. Redskins: Mike Shanahan's Timeout Saves Cowboys On Game-Winning Field Goal

Jabar Gaffney Week 11 Fantasy Update: Redskins Wide Receiver Has Huge Day Against Dallas

It was Gaffney's biggest game of the season, nearly doubling the output of his previous yardage high this season. The highlight of his big day came in the second quarter, when he caught a 16 yard touchdown pass from Grossman. It was Gaffney's third touchdown of the season and led to an unexpected huge day of fantasy production from the wide receiver.

Cowboys Vs. Redskins: Rob Ryan, Mike Shanahan Provide Faces Of Victory, Defeat

Cowboys Vs. Redskins Final Score: Dan Bailey Field Goal Gives Dallas 27-24 Overtime Win

The Dallas Cowboys have defeated the Washington Redskins, 27-24, in a thrilling overtime game at FedEx Field. After Graham Gano missed a 52-yard field goal that would have won the game, the Cowboys took the ball back and won it with a 39-yard field goal for Dan Bailey. Dallas moves to 6-4 with the win, while the Redskins fall to 3-7.

The Cowboys ended up converting on a huge third and 15 from midfield to keep their drive alive. Romo rolled out to his left, like he's done all game, and found Dez Bryant, who beat double coverage for the . The 26-yard gain brought the ball to the Redskins' 23-yard line and put the Cowboys in position for the game-winner.

The Redskins received the ball at the start of overtime, and Rex Grossman moved the ball into Cowboys' territory. One negative play was an offensive pass interference call on Logan Paulsen. However, the Redskins quickly made that up with a 15-yard pass to Paulsen, a penalty and another pass to Paulsen. Grossman then found Jabar Gaffney for 12 yards down to the Cowboys' 36-yard line. On third down, Grossman took a sack, though, making Gano's field goal more difficult. Gano eventually pushed the kick wide right, and the Cowboys took over on downs.

Trent Williams Injury: Washington Redskins' Offensive Lineman Limps Off With Knee Injury

The Washington Redskins could have ended this game against the Dallas Cowboys with one kick. Instead, Graham Gano pushed a 52-yard field goal wide right, and offensive lineman Trent Williams suffered a potentially serious injury. Williams had his right knee buckle while blocking for the kick and stayed on the ground for several minutes before limping off.

It looked like Williams had his leg caught underneath him trying to block Jay Ratliff. The good news is he limped off, but he certainly was walking gingerly as he came to the sidelines. Undrafted rookie Willie Smith would replace Williams if the Redskins get the ball back and Williams cannot return to the game.

Cowboys Vs. Redskins Score Update: Donte Stallworth Touchdown Ties Game At 24

The Washington Redskins have tied this game up against the Dallas Cowboys after Rex Grossman led the Redskins on a 89-yard scoring drive in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. The entire thing was capped off by a four-yard touchdown catch by Donte Stallowrth on a fade route to tie the game at 24 with 14 seconds remaining.

Grossman rebounded from an interception thrown on the previous possession to make several big throws, especially to Jabar Gaffney, Darrel Young and Stallworth. The drive was kept alive when the Cowboys were called for a defensive holding on third and two from the 21-yard line, moving the ball to the Cowboys' 16-yard line. Fred Davis then caught a pass on third down to bring the ball down to the Cowboys' one-yard line. Two plays later, Grossman delivered the beautiful fade route to Stallworth for the touchdown, as Stallworth dragged both feed down to get in for the score.

Josh Wilson Injury: Washington Redskins' Cornerback Suffers Hamstring Injury, Questionable To Return

The Washington Redskins may have to play the rest of the game against the Dallas Cowboys without starting cornerback Josh Wilson. Wilson suffered a hamstring injury on the drive just before the Cowboys took a 24-17 lead, and he is questionable to return.

If Wilson cannot return, it will be a critical loss for the Redskins. He has been the team's best cornerback this game, holding Dez Bryant in check and coming up with some key deflections. DeAngelo Hall is listed as the team's top cornerback, but Wilson has often been the better player this season. Byron Westbrook will replace Wilson in the lineup if he cannot return to the game.

Cowboys Vs. Redskins Score Update: Jason Witten 59-Yard Touchdown Gives Dallas 24-17 Lead

The Dallas Cowboys have seized momentum back from the Washington Redskins midway through the fourth quarter. Tony Romo made another huge play outside the pocket, rolling out and finding tight end Jason Witten for a 59-yard catch and run to put Dallas up, 24-17, with 8:48 to play in the game.

Romo has now made two huge plays outside the pocket rolling to his left for touchdowns. First, he found Laurent Robinson to tie the game at 17. This play, though, was even more demoralizing for the Redskins. It was third and eight, and Romo was flushed to his left. Witten broke off his route, sat in the middle of the field and Romo hit him in stride, allowing Witten to race past the Redskins' secondary for the touchdown.

Cowboys Vs. Redskins Score Update: Laurent Robinson Touchown Ties Game at 17

The Dallas Cowboys have tied their game with the Washington Redskins at 17 early in the fourth quarter after a pivotal scoring drive that ended in a seven-yard touchdown catch by Laurent Robinson. Tony Romo sensed pressure, stepped up and made a huge play to find Robinson on third and goal to tie the score.

The drive was kept alive with two key conversions by DeMarco Murray. First, he rushed outside for a first down on fourth and 1. Then, he made a nice catch on another great Romo play to pick up the first down at the seven-yard line.

Brandon Banks continues to do an outstanding job in special teams for Washington, with one 55-yard punt return that nearly set up a scoring drive earlier in the third quarter. However, Graham Gano missed from 49 yards out, which proved to be a costly miss. He hit a 40-yard field goal earlier in the third quarter to put Washington up 17-10.

Cowboys Vs. Redskins Score Update: Jabar Gaffney Touchdown Gives Redskins 14-10 Lead At Halftime

Suddenly, the tide of this game between the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys has taken a turn. The Redskins' offense has picked it up, and now Washington has the lead after Rex Grossman found Jabar Gaffney for a 16-yard touchdown with 20 seconds left. The score is now 14-10 Redskins at halftime.

Washington's scoring drive began when Brandon Banks got a big punt return back to the Cowboys' 43-yard line. The Redskins' two-minute drill wasn't pretty -- they called their third and final timeout to avoid a false start, which could have cost them dearly -- but Grossman made it all not matter when he delivered a beautiful pass to Gaffney in the middle of the end zone. It was a great throw, as he dropped it just over the linebacker and into Gaffney's arms.

The lead is the Redskins' first lead in a game since Week 4 vs. St. Louis.

Cowboys Vs. Redskins Score Update: Rex Grossman Touchdown Cuts Dallas' Lead To 10-7

The Washington Redskins are on the board against the Dallas Cowboys. Washington was gifted a short field and cashed in with a touchdown when Rex Grossman snuck it in from four yards out. The Cowboys still lead, 10-7. This was only the Redskins' second touchdown in the last three and a half games.

The Redskins got the ball on the Cowboys' 31-yard line after a shanked punt. On third down from the 29-yard line, Grossman lobbed a pass to David Anderson down to the seven-yard line. Three plays later, Grossman stepped back in the shotgun, found a lane and dove into the end zone for the score. It wasn't pretty, but the Redskins will take it considering their offense's recent woes.

Cowboys Vs. Redskins Score Update: Dallas Leads, 7-0, After First Quarter

After one quarter of play in Landover, the Dallas Cowboys lead the Washington Redskins, 7-0. Dallas got on the board thanks to a Fred Davis fumble, which eventually led to a 22-yard touchdown pass from Tony Romo to Dez Bryant. The Redskins' offense, meanwhile, has been pretty awful otherwise.

Washington's offense has been horrendous all game, with three straight three-and-outs already. Davis' fumble on the first drive was bad, and Rex Grossman has been too. Grossman missed Jabar Gaffney on two straight third-down plays, throwing inaccurately and preventing Gaffney from making easy catches.

The Redskins now have gone 21 straight quarters without holding a lead in a game. This is getting worse before it gts better.

Cowboys Vs. Redskins Score Update: Dez Bryant Touchdown Gives Dallas 7-0 Lead

The Dallas Cowboys are on the board, thanks to a Washington Redskins' turnover and a quick strike. After Fred Davis fumbled on the Redskins' 24-yard line, Tony Romo found Dez Bryant on a corner route for a 22-yard touchdown, giving Dallas a 7-0 lead.

The Redskins stopped the Cowboys on their first drive, but got victimized by a major turnover. On third down, Davis tried to fight for extra yards, but the ball was jarred loose and recovered by Dallas. Mike Shanahan attempted to challenge the play, but the ruling on the field stood. Three plays later, Bryant fooled DeAngelo Hall on a corner route and caught the pass from Romo in the right corner of the end zone for the touchdown.

Cowboys Vs. Redskins Lineups: Ryan Torain Starting At Running Back Over Roy Helu

The starting lineups for the Washington Redskins' home game against the Dallas Cowboys are out, and once again, Ryan Torain will start for Roy Helu at running back. This is the second straight week that Torain is starting, and it comes after he had a tough time running the ball against the Miami Dolphins. Evidently, his other attributes, such as pass-blocking, were enough to get the start.

Both running backs should still see considerable time, so fantasy owners, don't fret too much. Helu will still get plenty of carries.

In addition, right tackle Jammal Brown will start. Left guard Maurice Hurt is out, and Tyler Polumbus will start in his place.

Jabar Gaffney Fantasy Projection: Washington Redskins' WR Is Bye-Week Fill-In For Deep Leagues

The Washington Redskins' wide receiving core has been decimated so thoroughly that Jabar Gaffney may be a decent fantasy football bye-week fill in for some really deep leagues. The Redskins square off against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, and while the Redskins' passing game is pretty bad, someone has to put up some numbers. Gaffney against a Cowboys secondary missing Mike Jenkins is a possible option.

Keep in mind who is not playing for Washington. Leonard Hankerson, who had a big game against the Dolphins, is injured. So are Santana Moss and Niles Paul. Fred Davis, the tight end, will get targets, but teams have shut him down recently. That leaves Gaffney, who is probably good for at least the 5.12 points numberfire.com projects him to get.

Hey, you could do worse.

Rex Grossman Fantasy Projection: Look Elsewhere For Bye-Week Quarterback

If you're a fantasy football owner, you've experienced all the weeks when your starting quarterback is on a bye and you need a fill-in. Several fantasy owners are experiencing that this week with several star quarterbacks like Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees and others. Does that mean you should give Rex Grossman a chance against the Dallas Cowboys?

Well, no. For starters, the Redskins' offense is just horrendous now. For another, the Cowboys' defense has been stingy recently, as they recently shut down the high-powered Buffalo Bills attack in a blowout win. The Redskins, meanwhile, have scored one touchdown combined in their last three weeks, and Grossman throws a lot of interceptions.

Numberfire.com projects Grossman to finish with 9.92 fantasy points this week. That's not enough to make him worth playing.

Cowboys Vs. Redskins Injury Report: LaRon Landry Inactive, Jammal Brown To Play

The Washington Redskins' inactive list and injury report for their Week 11 game against the Dallas Cowboys is out, and save for safety LaRon Landry, many key questionable players are active. Landry and offensive lineman Maurice Hurt are inactive, but the news is better for offensive lineman Jammal Brown, running back Tashard Choice and safety Oshiomogho Atogwe, who will all play. For Choice, it'll be a chance to square off against his former team.

For the Dallas Cowboys, wide receiver Miles Austin and cornerback Mike Jenkins will not play, as expected. Felix Jones is active for the first time in several weeks, but he will be playing behind starter DeMarco Murray. 

Reed Doughty will start for Landry, while Tyler Polumbus will start for Hurt. Here are the inactives for both teams.

Redskins: SS LaRon Landry, OL Maurice Hurt, LB Keyaron Fox, LB Markus White, WR Santana Moss, WR Niles Paul, CB D.J. Johnson.

Cowboys: QB Jon Kitna, WR Miles Austin, CB Mike Jenkins, FB Tony Fiammetta, G David Arkin, G Daniel Loper, DE Clifton Geathers.

Roy Helu Fantasy Projection: Washington Redskins' RB Remains A Mystery

I wish I could provide a definitive fantasy football projection for Washington Redskins running back Roy Helu against the Dallas Cowboys, but he remains a mystery to everyone. It looked like he was primed for a breakout after having an excellent day against the San Francisco 49ers. Instead, Mike Shanahan elected to start Ryan Torain, and he and Helu split carries.

This week, Helu and the Redskins face a strong Cowboys rush defense that ranks 10th in yards allowed. Will Helu be the starter, though? The team discussed how they felt he struggled in blitz pickup last week against the Miami Dolphins, and with the less mobile Rex Grossman starting over John Beck, blitz pickup is essential. Helu is clearly a better runner than Torain, but will that be enough to start him?

Your guess is as good as mine. Numberfire.com projects that Helu will get 6.08 points, which sounds fair to me.

NFL TV Schedule, Week 11: Cowboys Vs. Redskins Lone Early Game

Fred Davis Fantasy Projection: Washington Redskins' Tight End Should Continue Skid

Fred Davis was once one of the top tight ends in fantasy football, but as he enters the Washington Redskins' NFL Week 11 game against the Dallas Cowboys, he is declining. In his past two weeks combined, Davis has just seven catches for 80 yards and zero touchdowns. Now, he squares off against a Cowboys team that took him out of the game when they faced each other in Week 3.

In that game, Davis had just one catch for 23 yards. Back then, the Redskins' offense was merely bad. Now, it is horrendous, and Dallas' defense is also finding its stride. Numberfire.com projects Davis to finish with 6.28 fantasy points, but I'd say he ends up with even fewer than that.

Laron Landry Injury Update: Redskins Safety Will Not Play Against Cowboys, According To Report

Washington Redskins safety Laron Landry, hampered all week by an Achilles tendon injury, will not play in his team's matchup against the hated division rival Dallas Cowboys, according to a report from Mike Jones of the Washington Post:

Washington Redskins starting strong safety LaRon Landry will not play today as his team hosts the Dallas Cowboys, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

Hampered all week by a sore left Achilles' tendon, Landry was unable to practice Wednesday and Thursday and was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report.

Landry missed the entire preseason and the first two games of the regular season due to this Achilles injury and a hamstring injury. This is the same Achilles injury that caused the Redskins safety to miss the last seven games of the 2010 campaign.

Cowboys Vs. Redskins: Game Time, TV Schedule, Radio Streaming And More

The Washington Redskins have not shown up to play in any of the past few weeks, but fans are hoping that a rivalry game against the Dallas Cowboys will do the trick. The old cliche is that records do not matter when division rivals square off. Redskins fans are hoping that will be the case on Sunday,

The Redskins, of course, are reeling, having lost five straight games without even holding a lead. Dallas, meanwhile, is beginning to find itself, thanks to the superb running of DeMarco Murray. His emergence has allowed Tony Romo to thrive in the passing game. At 5-4, the Cowboys can close to a tie for first place in the NFC East with a win and a New York Giants loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football.

Here is everything you need to know about the game.

Teams: Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins.

Location: FedEx Field in Landover, Md.

Time: 1 p.m.

Dallas Cowboys Injury Report, Week 11: Miles Austin Injury To Sideline WR Against Redskins

Wide receiver Miles Austin will miss the Dallas Cowboys' game against the Washington Redskins this Sunday, Nov. 20, due to a hamstring injury. The six-year veteran and two-time Pro Bowler sustained it in last week's win against the Buffalo Bills and did not practice at all this week.

Austin ranks among quarterback Tony Romo's favorite targets. At present, he places No. 3 on the team in receptions (28), No. 4 in yards (403), and No. 2 in touchdowns (four). With Austin out, Washington is freer to focus on tight end Jason Witten--Dallas' leading receiver--and wide receiver Dez Bryant.

The Redskins know firsthand how threatening Austin can be; in Sept. 2010, he caught 10 passes for 146 yards and a score, Dallas' lone touchdown of the game. In the next meeting between the teams, Washington limited him to three catches.

Also out for Dallas against Washington: fullback Tony Fiammetta (illness) and cornerback Mike Jenkins (hamstring). Fiammetta is a blocking specialist, while Jenkins leads the Cowboys with seven passes defensed.

Due to a back injury, second-string quarterback John Kitna did not practice Friday and the team lists him as questionable.

London Fletcher Injury Update: Washington Redskins' Linebacker Listed As Probable Vs. Cowboys

It appears that London Fletcher's consecutive-games streak will reach 217 when the Washington Redskins face the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Fletcher had been bothered by an ankle injury earlier in the week, but he is listed as probable on the official Redskins' injury report on Friday.

Fletcher surprised many media members by sitting out of practice on Wednesday and emerging with his foot in a walking boot. However, he practiced on a limited basis on Thursday and practiced even more fully on Friday. He has yet to miss an NFL game in his career, which is why it was surprising to see him hurt. However, it looks like the consecutive games streak will indeed continue.

Washington Redskins Injury Report, Week 11: LaRon Landry, Jammal Brown Questionable Vs. Cowboys

The Washington Redskins' Week 11 injury report is out for their game against the Dallas Cowboys, and a number of key players are listed as questionable. Safety LaRon Landry and offensive tackle Jammal Brown are the key starters whose status will be decided at gametime on Sunday.

Landry is nursing a sore Achilles, which he has dealt with all season, and Brown suffered a groin injury last Sunday. Landry did say that if it were up to him, he would be in the lineup.

In addition, offensive lineman Maurice Hurt and Sean Locklear are listed as questionable. Hurt, the seventh-round pick now starting on the inside, suffered a knee injury. Locklear, who would be Brown's replacement if Brown cannot play, has an ankle injury.

Finally, coach Mike Shanahan ruled out linebacker Keyaron Fox and wide receivers Santana Moss and Niles Paul for the game.

Week 11 NFL Picks, Cowboys Vs. Redskins: Peter King Has Dallas By 13

The Washington Redskins have lost each of their last five games heading into Sunday's NFC East showdown with the Dallas Cowboys, and Sports Illustrated NFL scribe Peter King predicts their misery will continue. King picks Dallas to win, 23-10, which would send Washington to 3-7 on the season and improve the visiting Cowboys to 6-4.

The play of running back DeMarco Murray swayed King's pick in Dallas' favor. "In the past -- oh, way back in the pre-DeMarco days -- I'd be picking Dallas to lose this game," King says, "because they just do weird things to lose games they certainly should win, particularly rivalry games." However, as King points out, Murray's averaged 150.3 yards per game in his last four outings, which has made the sun "warmer" and the sky "bluer" in Dallas; the Cowboys are 3-1 in that stretch.

The Redskins have yielded 4.3 yards per carry this season, in the middle of the NFL pack, so they're theoretically no more vulnerable to the run than any other team. But Murray is not an ordinary running back. Perhaps if they can contain him, and hang some points on the board themselves, the Redskins can upset their division rivals and make King regret his pick.

Week 11 NFL Lines And Odds: Cowboys Vs. Redskins

Now the Cowboys come to Washington, but this time they are favored by a pretty wide margin. Here is what our partners at OddsShark have to say about the matchup.

Dallas Cowboys Injury Report, Week 11: Miles Austin Still Shelved With Hamstring Injury, Kyle Kosier Returns To Practice Thursday

The enigmatic Dallas Cowboys will try to sweep the season series with the Redskins and win their third consecutive game when they travel to Washington to face off against the rival Redskins at Fed-Ex Field Sunday afternoon. At 5-4, the Cowboys are one game behind the New York Giants in the NFC East, and one game back in the Wild Card on both the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears.

The Cowboys' recent success has largely revolved around a resurgent ground game orchestrated by rookie DeMarco Murray. The former Oklahoma Sooners star set a franchise record by rushing for 610 yards over the past four games, the most ever by a Cowboys RB over a consecutive four-game stretch.

The Cowboys might need another big day from Murray against Washington, as Miles Austin has missed practice this week with a hamstring injury sustained during the Cowboys' 44-7 throttling of Buffalo last Sunday. Austin, who has 28 catches for 403 yards and 4 TDs in 6 games this season, rehabbed his hamstring on Wednesday and sat out practice altogether on Thursday. He is listed as questionable for Week 11, but it's more likely that he will not play than it is that he will give it a go. Hamstring injuries always take longer to heal than expected, and the emergence of Laurent Robinson as a viable target for Tony Romo probably will prompt the Cowboys to take the cautious approach with the sixth-year WR.

In other Thursday practice news, right guard Kyle Kosier returned to practice on a limited basis after sitting out Wedensday's activities with a non-serious foot injury. Kosier, a 10-year veteran, has started all nine games for Dallas at RG this season.

Missing practice Thursday were the following players: FB Tony Fiametta (illness), CB Mike Jenkins (hamstring), QB Jon Kitna (back).

Practicing, but limited, Thursday were: Felix Jones (ankle), G Kyle Kosier (foot).

And finally, LB Sean Lee (wrist) and P Matt McBriar (left foot) returned to practiced at full strength Thursday.

Redskins Injury Report, Week 11: LaRon Landry Misses Thursday Practice, London Fletcher Limited

The Washington Redskins look to snap a five-game losing streak this Sunday when they host the Dallas Cowboys Sunday afternoon at Fed-Ex Field. What better way to get back on track than a home tilt against the hated Dallas Cowboys? When the two NFC East foes, you can always throw out the records and expect a hard-fought, competitive game.

The Redskins may, however, be without two key players on defense -- LaRon Landry and London Fletcher. Landry has been unable to practice on Wednesday or Thursday of this week with an Achilles heel injury. Head coach Mike Shanahan did not rule out Landry, but he did not sound very optimistic about his chances to play either:

"You’re not really sure of it until he practices. Obviously it’s inflamed enough where he couldn’t practice, so that’s never a good sign."

Fletcher, meanwhile, was limited in Thursday's practice with the ankle injury he sustained during last Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. That's a positive sign though, as he sat out Wednesday's practice altogether.

Even if the 36-year old is unable to play, Shanahan also sounded confident that Perry Riley would be able to handle the increased responsibilities that go along with playing London Fletcher's inside linebacker position:

"First of all, I look at a guy, does he have the ability to make plays? And he’s got the ability to make plays. It’s up to us to put him in the right situations. What I mean by that is it’s going to take some reps, there’s going to be some growing pains, and we’ve got to spend some extra time and get him on the same page, because you want your best athletes out there making plays. He loves the game. He’s very enthusiastic. I just think he’ll keep on getting better and eliminate some of those rookie mistakes as time goes on."

With the playoffs most likely out of reach at 3-6, the remaining seven games of the season might be the right opportunity for Shanahan and Jim Haslett to see what they have in guys like Perry and their other young, defensive talent. That said, a warrior like Fletcher is not going to sit out a game against the Cowboys unless he absolutely can not go, and with his return to practice on Thursday, it's a safe bet that he'll be patrolling the middle of the field for Washington's defense come Sunday.

Here's the rest of the 'Skins Thursday injury report.

Thursday (11/17/11)

OUT: WR Santana Moss (Hand)


Did Not Participate in Practice: LB Keyaron Fox (infection), G Maurice Hurt (knee), S LaRon Landry (Achilles), WR Niles Paul (toe)


Limited Participation in Practice: LB London Fletcher (ankle), T Jammal Brown (groin), T Sean Locklear


Full Participation in Practice: S Oshiomogho Atogwe (toe/knee), RB Rashard Choice (hamstring), S Reed Doughty (chest), TE Logan Paulsen (shoulder)

Redskins Injury Report: London Fletcher And Four Others Miss Practice

The Washington Redskins got back on the practice field today to prepare for the Dallas Cowboys, but the Redskins might not be without linebacker London Fletcher who was seen with a walking boot and missed practice. Four others also missed practice today:

Keyaron Fox, Maurice Hurt, LaRon Landry, and Niles Paul

Offensive tackles Jammal Brown and Sean Locklear were both limited, Brown with a groin injury and Locklear with an ankle. 

Safeties Oshiomogho Atogwe and Reed Doughty returned to practice in full today, as did tight end Logan Paulson.

Running back Tashard Choice also returned to practice in full today and it's possible he will get to face his former team. "He had a good practice today, so that was a big positive. He practiced well last week. I'd say he was at 85-90 percent. Hopefully, there is no setback and he'll get the chance to dress and see what he can do," Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said after practice.

London Fletcher Injury: Washington Redskins' LB Misses Practice Wednesday, In Walking Boot

The Washington Redskins continue to face some bad injury news as they prepare to face the rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Linebacker London Fletcher, who has not missed a game in his entire career, missed practice on Wednesday with an ankle injury and was spotted in a walking boot. Coach Mike Shanahan confirmed the news in his Wednesday press conference.

It remains to be seen how serious the injury ends up being. Shanahan said he did not think it was serious, suggesting that Fletcher was just "sore," but he did add that he has been in a walking boot since Monday. Fletcher nearly sat out in the Redskins' loss to Buffalo, but ended up toughening it out after missing practice earlier in the week there. We could very easily see something similar happen this time.

Fletcher currently has played in 291 consecutive games in his NFL career, which is tops among active players.
