The Facts: HC Mike Shanahan said Monday he is unsure who will start at RB in the next game against the Giants, adding that he won't know until Wednesday whether Ryan Torain's hamstring injury has healed enough for him to play. "We'll get a better feel for that on Wednesday," Shanahan said about the unsettled situation at running back. "Until they actually go full-speed, it's too early to tell" whether Torain can be ready.
Diehards Line:With first-string tailback Clinton Portis out for the year and Torain sidelined for a third consecutive game, the Redskins gained just 29 yards on 13 rushing attempts in their 17-13 loss to the Vikings Sunday. That total is tied for the team's second-worst since 1994. Starting RB Keiland Williams had just five yards on three carries, and his backup, James Davis, had 11 yards on six rushes in his first game for the Redskins.
