ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -The Washington Redskins signed Shaun Suisham from the practice squad Saturday, giving the team an alternative to struggling kicker Nick Novak for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Redskins coach Joe Gibbs was unavailable for comment, so it was unclear how he planned to use his two kickers. A likely scenario would have Suisham handling kickoffs and Novak kicking extra points and field goals. Novak has made only 5 of 10 field goal attempts this season, and his kickoffs have been sh |

| guess that's why everyone was freaking out.'' Some of the Sixers who witnessed the injury freaked out a little too much for Randolph's liking. He said he was bothered by Andre Iguodala comparing the visual of the injury to the career-ending hit on Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann in 1985. Coach Maurice Cheeks said he had never seen an injury like it in his life. ``Everyone made it seem like I was a World War II vet,'' Randolph said. ``The bone did not pop out of my skin. It was not that bad, but I |

"It's great to be a head coach again," said Sullivan. "It's something that I've dreamed about and I wanted to do, but to do it in my hometown...I thank you for this opportunity." Sullivan played in the NFL for five seasons after graduating from Auburn in 1972, four with the Atlanta Falcons (1972-76) and with the Washington Redskins in 1977. |

| (MySportsbook) - A maelstrom of controversy has been swirling around Falcons quarterback Michael Vick in recent weeks, but he will try to put that behind him this Sunday as he leads a sliding Atlanta team onto FedEx Field to face the Washington Redskins. The strife began last week when the father of Falcons head coach Jim Mora called Vick "a coach killer" in a radio interview. The elder Jim Mora, a former head coach with Saints and Colts, has always been known for being outspoken, but still, Atlanta's head coac |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Washington Redskins linebacker Khary Campbell, the team's leading tackler on special teams, will miss Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons with a hamstring injury. Campbell and safety Troy Vincent were the only players not to take part in a full practice Friday. Vincent missed last week's game with a sore hamstring, and is listed as questionable for Sunday. Right tackle Jon Jansen practiced and is expected to play, despite a nagging calf injury that had him limping noticeably this we |

A team spokesman said Randolph suffered a broken and dislocated ankle. ``It is unfortunate Shav got hurt today,'' said team President Billy King. ``He will be missed as he is an integral part of this team, but I am confident |

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) -The Atlanta Falcons and Washington Redskins have reached the point of the season where thoughts can get a bit fanciful. Maybe we can win the rest of our games. Maybe 9-7 will be good enough to get into the playoffs this year. Maybe even 8-8. Perhaps all that went wrong in November can suddenly disappear in the final month of the regular season. True, we haven't looked like a playoff team recently, but we haven't been so awful that we're totally out of it. Maybe they're right. Maybe the |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -After hearing all the trade rumors during training camp, T.J. Duckett was relieved when the Atlanta Falcons finally dealt him to the Washington Redskins. Little did he know that life with the Redskins would turn into another long state of uncertainty. ``It's similar,'' Duckett said Thursday as he sat at his locker. ``But after going through what I went through there, it prepared me for this.'' Duckett's locker is the one closest to the exit, which is appropriate given how long it has ta |

Foster was hurt in the second quarter of Carolina's 15-0 win over the St. Louis Rams on November 19. He was replaced by rookie DeAngelo Williams, who ran for 114 yards against the Rams, but only managed 63 yards in last week's 17-13 loss to the Washington Redskins. Foster has rushed for 651 yards on 165 carries and two touchdowns this season. |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -From the moment Jason Campbell decided he wanted to wear No. 17 as a quarterback for the Washington Redskins, he knew he would be forever linked to Doug Williams. They already had much in common. Both are from small towns in the deep South. Both have laid-back personalities. Both have played for coach Joe Gibbs. Both are tall - 6-foot-4 - and skinny with rifle arms. And, of course, both are black. ``I have the utmost respect for Doug Williams,'' Campbell said Wednesday. ``I feel we're s |
