Redskins place Springs on IR

Football Betting Lines

12/27/2006 - Ashburn, VA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Washington Redskins have placed cornerback Shawn Springs on injured reserve because of a fractured shoulder blade.

Springs, who suffered through an injury-filled 2006, was hurt in the first quarter of last Sunday's 37-31 overtime loss to the St. Louis Rams. He also missed the first five games of the campaign after abdominal surgery in August and sat out another contest with a hamstring injury.

The 10th-year veteran out of Ohio State had 38 tackles and one interception in nine games this season, his third with Washington. The native of nearby Silver Spring, Maryland spent his first seven NFL seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, who made him the third overall pick of the 1997 draft.

Washington also released cornerback Mike Rumph, a 2002 first-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers. He had 11 tackles in seven games this season, his first with the Redskins.

Cornerbacks John Eubanks and Leigh Torrance were signed to fill the vacant roster spots.
