Donovan McNabbASHBURN, Va. (AP) -- Donovan McNabb is once again practicing with the Washington Redskins after being sidelined two weeks with a sprained left ankle.

McNabb was wearing a helmet instead of a baseball cap and took several snaps Monday during the 20 minutes of practice that reporters were allowed to watch.

McNabb sprained his ankle in a preseason game against Baltimore on Aug. 21.

Defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth took snaps only with the backups during the time the practice was open. Haynesworth continues to be relegated to reserve duty following months of tension between the two-time All-Pro and coach Mike Shanahan over several issues.

The Redskins open the regular season Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys.



In FanHouse TV's NFL Two-a-Days, LeCharles Bentley explains why the Redskins are doomed if Donovan McNabb gets hurt.
