Don't look for Rock Cartwright, the NFC's kickoff return leader, tomorrow against the New England Patriots. The Redskins' sixth-year player, who strained a quadriceps while returning a kickoff 80 yards in last week's 21-19 victory over Arizona, tried to practice yesterday for the first time this week but couldn't.

"I just didn't have my burst," Cartwright lamented. "I don't want to out there and not be able to produce ... and tear it to the bone and be out for the year. I think I have to sit this one out."

Ladell Betts, Washington's leading kickoff returner in 2004 and 2005, will likely replace Cartwright.

Center Casey Rabach (groin) and strongside linebacker Marcus Washington (hamstring) both practiced for the third straight day and will return after missing the past one and two games, respectively.

Cornerbacks Carlos Rogers (knee) and Fred Smoot (hamstring), who both had a full practice for the first time this week, are probable.

The other Moss

During Santana Moss' first two seasons in Washington, he helped turn Randy Moss into "the other Moss."

Santana had 139 catches, 2,273 yards and 15 touchdowns while Randy, who had been all-world in Minnesota, produced just 102 catches, 1,558 yards and 11 touchdowns for Oakland.

However, Randy's trade to New England has turned him back into a superstar. He leads the NFL with 732 yards and 10 touchdowns and is fifth with 44 catches.

In two fewer games, Santana has 30 fewer catches, 525 fewer yards and 10 fewer touchdowns. All of Washington's wideouts combined have 45 catches. 723 yards and no touchdowns.
