Albert Haynesworth
The Washington Redskins will be without the services of three key players for Sunday’s game against the Raiders in Oakland.
Coach Jim Zorn announced that DeAngelo Hall, Albert Haynesworth and Mike Sellers have all been ruled out.
Hall has been sidelined with a sprained right knee as of late. He also suffered back spasms while cheering from the sidelines last week against the Saints.
“I probably should have been up in the suites relaxing, but I wanted to be down there with my teammates and encourage my guys on,” Hall told the Associated Press. “I found myself almost jumping up and down every play.”
Haynesworth will miss his third start of the season as a result of a nagging ankle sprain.
Sellers is sidelined with a severe thigh contusion that sent him to the hospital last weekend.
“I want to play, but I just can’t,” Sellers told the Washington Times. “I had 60 ccs of fluid drained from the thigh and it’s still really swollen. There’s still more fluid in there. I’ll be back, but not this week.”
