Brunell may play on Monday
Ashburn, VA (Sports Network) - Washington Redskins quarterback Mark Brunell, bothered by a strained hamstring, practiced on Friday and could possibly see action during the team's Monday night battle against the Dallas Cowboys.

Brunell took around one-third of the snaps during Friday's session, the first time the 12-year veteran practiced this week. Brunell suffered the injury in the third quarter of Sunday's 20-14 loss to the New York Giants and is listed as questionable on the team's injury report.

Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs still said Patrick Ramsey will likely start on Monday, but has not ruled out the possibility of Brunell being under center.

"Mark feels a lot better," Gibbs said. "We will just continue to monitor him. Patrick took most of the work."

Brunell was acquired by the Redskins in the offseason and beat out Ramsey for the starting spot during preseason. For the year, Brunell is 23-of-32 for 217 yards and a touchdown.

Mark Zuckerman, of the Washington Times, reports Washington Redskins QB Mark Brunell (hamstring) took one-third of the snaps in practice Friday, Sept. 24. The team is optimistic about him playing in the Monday, Sept. 27, game against the Dallas Cowboys. Brunell will likely be a game-day decision and could possibly serve as the No. 2 quarterback for Monday's game.

Thank god, we might actually win!

I would assume the only way he would come in is if we're losing and Patty is doing bad... so the better thing to say is... Let's hope we don't see him play

If you keep calling him Patty he's gonna ask for a trade again!

You don't like Patty Cakes?

Not exactly the name to boost the guy's confidence. Patty Cakes is a great name for a children's show personality perhaps, not a QB. LOL

So...Gibbs won't tell us until which QB after the kickoff...and why should he? "Hi, Bill. I'm definitely starting young Ramsey, unless maybe I start Brunnell. Sorry, prepare for both of them."

My crystal ball says that Ramsey will start; the Brunell talk is just to lay out a little smoke-screen. Parcells uses radar, of course, but, hey, football is a game.
