Redskins' Josh Norman on benching: 'Got to play the cards you're dealt'

ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins corner Josh Norman remains confident in his abilities - even if the team that once made him the highest paid corner doesn't want him on the field.

The Redskins were forced to play him Sunday after two corners were injured during the game. Norman was in coverage on the Philadelphia Eagles' game-winning touchdown pass in a 37-27 win Sunday. Norman played just six snaps, but it was the most he's played from scrimmage since he was benched after Week 11.

However, when asked after the game if he still believes he's an elite corner, Norman -- talking about his situation for the first time since his benching -- didn't hesitate.
