Griffin might not play

Cornelius Griffin is questionable with the left elbow he injured against Tampa Bay. Fellow defensive tackle Anthony Montgomery (knee) will miss a fifth straight game. Offensive tackle Chris Samuels will start despite being limited in practice this week with knee and shin ailments. Kedric Golston will start if Griffin can't play.

"It's hurting me," said Griffin, who missed at least one game in four of his previous five seasons with the Redskins. "It's going to be a game-time decision. I'll do my best to go out and help the team, but at the same time I don't want to hurt us."

Linebacker Rocky McIntosh missed practice to attend a funeral.
