Both Ade Jimoh and Carlos Rogers are expected to play on Saturday. Springs is still a question mark but at least he's not a definite no at this point. All of this is according to Redskins.com.

that's funny right? this time last year i was ready to crucify that guy but now i'm relieved that he's playing... he may not be the best CB but he's a great ST guy and he gives 100%.

Man I hope Springs can play...

I believe they've already announced that he will be out. He reaggravated his groin. That might be why Rogers is stepping up to the plate this week.

No they have no officialy made an announcement. The drs and team officials will meet today to decide. Unless they announced it while I was at the college getting my books. I wasn't gone that long. lol

we need rogers desperately but jimoh i a huge pick up as well push morton down the depth chart!

I think Jimoh would excell more as a Safety, in general. I mean, yes he's had some nice solid hits recently, but he can't cover a thing.

Now he might not have the vision for a a safety, but he would help out the run defense more so than the pass defense IMO.

I read that on whatever show Springs is a part of on Mondays he pretty said he didn't fight thru pain this far to give up in the playoffs...

Will he play this week? I dont kno.
I think he'll definately try to make it back for a future game.

Springs may try and play in limited roles, like nickelback or dimeback

This is good news. We should have Springs suit up (but not start) just in case we need him later in the game. It is the playoffs so I expect to see Shawn out there trying to gut it out. Lets hope for a speedy recovery for him. We'll need him later on.

Thats awesome, We need all the healthy players we can get

Any play from his is welcome.

I caught myself Sunday and realized "You know they're on thin ice when you're concerned about an injury to Ade Jimoh."

It's easy to bash Ade based on his reputation, but he has been a top 3 performer on special teams and has filled in admirably when inserted into the defense.

This year, anyway. There's gotta be a scapegoat on the team that fans hate, and until a new one appears I'm afraid that Jimoh might take heat based on reputation alone and not based on play. I know I've certainly warmed up to him this year.

The problem is, Gibbs got rid of all of the scapegoat guys (The Toe and 50/50 come to mind).

Plus, we're winning so we don't really need any scape goats.

Ade's very good on ST... and he's definitely better this year.

But I'm sure glad Carlos is going to play lessening the number of plays that Ade does.

and walts plays too!
