It's no snap doing Dorenbos' job

JON DORENBOS takes pride in his durability, in being able to longsnap through every ding and dent he has suffered since he arrived here during the 2006 season, replacing injured Mike Bartrum. Sunday he tied Harold Carmichael's franchise record of 162 successive games started.

So, what happened during a third-quarter Eagles punt Sunday? Why, Dorenbos was injured, of course. Went in for wrist X-rays. Did not return. Will see a hand/wrist specialist Monday, a source close to the situation said.

The next man up was tight end Brent Celek, who flubbed a snap on a Caleb Sturgis 50-yard field goal attempt that ended up not being attempted, holder Donnie Jones tackled for a 14-yard loss that set Washington up with a short field for a touchdown drive.
