Prioleau's Strange Injury on First Play Sets Tone
September 12
Washington Post (registration required): "But on the opening kickoff, nickel safety Pierson Prioleau, an important part of the Redskins' five- and six-defensive back packages, was lost for the night and possibly for the season. On what he called a bizarre exchange, Prioleau injured his right knee without being hit, was fitted with an immobilizing soft cast that stretched from his upper thigh to his ankle, and was helped off the field."
