Redskins' Taylor expected to miss Tampa Bay gameAssociated PressASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor is likely to miss Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because of a sprained ankle.Taylor hurt the ankle in the victory over San Francisco three weeks ago, but he was able to play in a loss to the New York Giants and last week's win over Philadelphia. But, he has not practiced this week and on Friday was downgraded from probable to questionable."Unless he really starts feeling good, in all likelihood I wouldn't think he'd go this week," coach Joe Gibbs said.Matt Bowen and Pierson Prioleau would be candidates to start in Taylor's absence in a secondary that has battled injuries all season. Safety Omar Stoutmire missed the Eagles game with a hamstring injury and doesn't appear ready to return. Cornerbacks Walt Harris and Carlos Rogers have also missed time with injuries.The Redskins are also preparing to make do without their best run-stopper for the second straight week. Defensive tackle Cornelius Griffin did not practice this week because of a hip injury and remains listed as questionable.http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2221218

My main concern is that ST was probably your only safety that should shut down Galloway and the deep ball. Now i see that secondary burned twice by it.
