TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -Washington Redskins receiver Santana Moss was inactive for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because of a left hamstring injury that kept him from practicing all week.

Moss was injured Oct. 22 against Indianapolis and sat out the Redskins' next game against Dallas. He returned to the lineup last week against Philadelphia and had three receptions for 17 yards.

Moss, who leads Washington with 31 catches for 452 yards and three touchdowns, was replaced in the starting lineup by A

``It was the only time my grandparents watched him play pro ball,'' Nobile-Shoop said. ``They carried him off the field because he almost drowned.''

Nobile played for the Washington Redskins in 1947 before joining the Steelers for two seasons.

After leaving the NFL, Nobile worked as a sales manager for a cutlery firm. He later worked as director of activities at a state prison, where Nobile organized a prison team named the Pittsburgh

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -The Washington Redskins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers can feel each other's frustration.

Ten months after meeting in the playoffs as teams seemingly on the rise, both limp into a lackluster rematch Sunday in last place and hoping to find a way to salvage disappointing seasons.

``Last year both teams were, I won't say spectacular, but we were gritty teams that knew how to win football games,'' Bucs cornerback Ronde Barber said.

``In all reality those same types of games that we won last year a

Meanwhile, the Titans (2-7) are have lost four games by seven points or less, including one-point losses at undefeated Indianapolis and last week against first-place Baltimore.

``They are the best 2-7 football team that we will have played,'' E

Mark Brunell feels as if he has ``a big target'' on his chest. Al Saunders is modifying the offense. Joe Gibbs just looks downright miserable.

It's been quite a week for the Washington Redskins.

``The first day it feels different because you are overwhelmed,'' said Campbell, describing for the umpteenth time his reaction to becoming the starting quarterback. ``You are not sure how to react or what to do.''

Campbell, who on Sunday at Ta

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -Tampa Bay defensive end Simeon Rice sat out practice Wednesday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins.

The 11th-year pro, who has 121 career sacks - second-most among active players, has been bothered by a shoulder problem much of the season and didn't play in last Monday night's 24-10 loss to the Carolina Panthers.

Two other defensive starters who missed the Panthers game - linebacker Shelton Quarles and tackle Ellis Wyms - also were held out of We

Four injuries later, Portis' season officially ended Wednesday, when the Washington Redskins placed their star running back on injured reserve. His final tallies for the season: 127 carries, 523 yards, seven touchdowns, two shoulder injuries, one sprained ankle, one broken bone - and only one costume.

``It was a rough year,'' Portis said.
