It's good news for the Redskins and bad news for Eli Manning: Washington defensive end Jason Taylor will play tonight against the New York Giants, despite a knee injury that the team feared could keep him sidelined for his debut in burgundy and gold.

Taylor told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio that the knee has felt better, but that he's good enough to go tonight. He's expected to start and get plenty of playing time, but he'll probably come out in obvious run situations.

The 34-year-old Taylor is entering his 12th NFL season and his first on a team other than the Dolphins, who traded him to Washington at the start of training camp. He had 11 sacks last season.
