The Redskins have lost starting safety Chris Horton for 4-6 weeks due to ligament damage in his toe.  Horton has played in all 8 games for the Redskins this season and he has made 37 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, he has forced 1 fumble and he has defensed 3 passes.  Reed Doughty will replace Horton in the starting lineup at strong safety.  He has played in all 8 games for the Redskins this season and he has made 43 tackles, 4 tackles for a loss and he has 1 sack.  This is only a minor downgrade for the Skins as Doughty is a decent player.

UPDATE:  The Redskins have placed Chris Horton on the Injured Reserve List ending his season.
