Left tackle Chris Samuels was placed on injured reserve Saturday, ending his season.

Samuels suffered a neck injury early in the Carolina game three weeks ago and said eight days ago that he would wait three to four months before deciding his future. He told teammates last week he is prepared to retire rather than risk paralysis.

The Redskins have an open roster spot and must decide early in the coming week whether to sign an offensive lineman or a tight end. Chris Cooley is expected to miss four weeks with a broken foot, leaving the team with only two healthy tight ends - Fred Davis and Todd Yoder.

Question of the day

More and more states are legalizing medical marijuana use, and the District of Columbia and New Jersey now seem poised to join that group. How do you feel about the trend?
