ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -More injuries woes for the Washington Redskins: Chris Horton and Mike Williams will be sidelined multiple weeks, and Clinton Portis is doubtful for the next game with a concussion. Starting strong safety Horton damaged a ligament in his left big toe in Sunday's 31-17 loss to Atlanta. He's out a minimum of four to six weeks - and it'll be four to six months if a specialist decides the toe needs surgery. Offensive lineman Williams, who has started the last four games, is out two to four wee |

Running back Clinton Portis left the Washington Redskins' 31-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday after taking a blow to the head. Portis departed with 3:20 remaining in the first quarter after a helmet-to-helmet hit from safety Thomas DeCoud. The Redskins said Portis had a head injury and would not return. There was no penalty on the hit. Portis was helped to his feet after being checked by the medical staff on the field. He appeared shaky at first, then walked off the field with a towel over his hea |

ATLANTA (AP) -Former Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall was in the middle of a melee that broke out on the Atlanta sideline after a late hit by a Washington Redskins teammate. Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was running for a first down and had just stepped out of bounds when LaRon Landry delivered a blow to the back late in the second quarter of Sunday's game. As yellow flags flew, Hall jumped into the middle of things and was entirely surrounded by Atlanta players and coach Mike Smith. Hall appeared to be pul |

| coach Mike Smith. Things seem to be aligning nicely for the Falcons, though. First, Atlanta returns this weekend to the Georgia Dome, where it is undefeated this year and has won six straight dating back to last season. Also, Sunday's opponent, the Washington Redskins, have lost three straight games and have yet to post a road win this season. That formula should be enough for the Falcons to rebound from last Monday's 35-27 setback to the first-place New Orleans Saints. Atlanta fell three games behind 7-0 New Orl |

| New Orleans. His quarterback rating in that defeat (46.6) was the second-lowest of his career. Now, the Falcons (4-3) are trying to snap their first losing streak of the Ryan era when they go up against one of the league's top defensive teams, the Washington Redskins, on Sunday. ``We know he's going to bounce back,'' running back Michael Turner said. ``Matt's cool under pressure. He's not being rattled back there or anything like that. As long as we protect him well and the receivers run nice crisp routes and |
