**This Just In**
An update, received Saturday, to a previous situation we were keeping an eye on.
Oct-17, 2009- The Washington Redskins announced today that they have signed punter Glenn Pakulak to their 53-man roster from their practice squad. To make room on the active roster, Washington released defensive end Renaldo Wynn. Pakulak (PACK-uh-lack) will wear jersey No. 4.
Last week against Carolina, Pakulak punted five times for a 42.4-yard average and a 35.6-yard net average. Pakulak was released on Monday and signed to the Redskins practice squad.
Again.
Also, the Redskins add guard, Chad Rinehart (shoulder) to the team’s injury report. Rinehart is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Coach's Quotes (The Latest From Coach Zorn)
On Readying The Team For Kansas City Chiefs...
“Our guys worked hard even in the rain. We may face this on Sunday. We put together a pretty good practice. Cornelius Griffin had some limited time in there, so he is getting better. I think Phillip Daniels is going to go tomorrow. We had Albert [Haynesworth] go. He was limited but he went. We even worked Clinton [Portis] in on short yardage and goal line. It worked pretty well today.”
On That O-Line Magic (Or Lack Thereof)...
“They have had a great attitude. They are very serious out there because there has been so much made about all of the changes. Chris Samuels is out there watching and he’s urging them on as well. They are taking everything seriously and they are not looking at what is happening to us. They are just playing the hand they are dealt, getting better and we are going to go out there and give it our best shot.”
Critiquing Kansas City...
“You have to go out there and do what you do well. You can’t get mesmerized by a lot of trick plays. You have to play your keys, do your read, and then at the end of the play you have got to make a play. You can’t sit there and wonder is it going to be a trick play this time, because if you are sitting there they are going to run the ball down your throat. That is one thing that we don’t want is our guys trying to figure out if it is going to be a trick play or not. Just go out and play football.”
What's Special About Chiefs' Quarterback, Matt Cassel?
“Really it is his legs. I think he has really good legs to get out of trouble and he prolongs a play, almost like Ben [Roethlisberger] does in Pittsburgh. Then if there is a guy open, he can find him. He has a really good arm, he is really smart, and he can make plays. When you look on the film you see him making plays. He is always in the scramble mode and now he is not sitting back like he normally was when he was at New England.”
Skins Injury Report...
Just How Serious Is Chris Samuels' Injury?
“I think that it is concerning because we care about his health and because of the other doctors involved and trying to read this thing, it is the time it is taking to get any answers that is what is hard. We just have to wait it out. We’re going to think very positively about his situation and I think he is as well. He’s got an excellent attitude towards waiting. The frustrating part is waiting for the results.”
Can Chris Cooley Step Up?
“He is going to be involved with the passing game. He has to be. I can’t pass protect him the whole day because we have linemen that can do it. I am not going to change too much up with just Chris Cooley. I got to get him the ball and he’s got to be a part of our offense.”
