Washington Redskins 11/02/2006 9:38 AMThe Washington Post reports WR Santana Moss missed his fourth consecutive practice yesterday, signaling that the Washington Redskins' most important receiving option may be unavailable for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys.

"It's fine; I could have practiced today, but I guess the trainers felt we should give it a day's rest, no rush," Bush said. "That's the only reason I didn't practice today. I could have practiced."Read more
