If the Shoe Fits

Fitted with an altered pair of cleats to cushion his bruised right heel, Washington Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss practiced yesterday for the first time in two weeks and is listed as probable for tomorrow’s game against Dallas.

Moss participated in full drills after team trainers modified one of his cleats to provide better comfort. They cut out the heel area and inserted a plastic cup to add extra padding, then taped it together. The alterations enabled the team’s top receiver to test his heel while the Redskins (5-4) completed preparations to face the NFC East-leading Cowboys (8-1) in Irving, Tex.

Moss May Miss Game with Heel Injury

The Washington Redskins could be without as many as eight starters in tomorrow’s critical NFC East game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Receiver Santana Moss missed a third straight practice yesterday because of a bruised heel and will be a game-time decision. That’s also the case for defensive tackle Cornelius Griffin, who played just two snaps last week against the New York Jets. Griffin said his ailing back still bothered him during yesterday’s practice.

“A lot of stuff has been going on, but what can you do about it?” said Moss, who missed the Detroit game with an ailing groin and then hurt his hamstring at Green Bay. “The heel is something that you need to run on and if it’s not feeling right, you can’t go. I can’t get mad about it. I gotta see how I feel on Sunday and go from there.”
