ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -More injuries woes for the Washington Redskins: Chris Horton and Mike Williams will be sidelined multiple weeks, and Clinton Portis is doubtful for the next game with a concussion.

Starting strong safety Horton damaged a ligament in his left big toe in Sunday's 31-17 loss to Atlanta. He's out a minimum of four to six weeks - and it'll be four to six months if a specialist decides the toe needs surgery.

Coach Jim Zorn says the team will play it safe with Portis, who took a helmet-to-helmet blow during the first quarter on Sunday. Portis will undergo a test Tuesday to determine if he can play next week against Denver.
