Extra points
• Seven Redskins sat out Wednesday’s practice with various ailments. Receivers Santana Moss (hand) and Niles Paul (sprained toe) were ruled out for Sunday’s game.
• Right tackle Jammal Brown (left groin) might be sidelined against Miami after missing last week’s second half. “Jammal is normally a pretty tough guy,” Shanahan said. “If he misses plays during a game, you know it’s fairly serious.”
• Strong safety LaRon Landry sat out because his left Achilles’ tendon is sore. That’s the injury that cost him all of training camp and the preseason. Free safety Oshiomogho Atogwe (knee/toe), linebacker Keyaron Fox (skin infection), and linebacker Markus White (illness) also sat out. Recently signed running back Tashard Choice (hamstring) fully participated.
