After playing Saturday for the first time in eight months, Washington Redskins linebacker Rocky McIntosh did something Monday he also hadn't done in ages. He talked to the media after attempting to sneak away by switching jerseys with teammate Khary Campbell.

"It was fun, definitely exciting just to be out there," McIntosh said of his brief action Saturday against the Jets at Giants Stadium, where he tore his ACL in December. "When I was out there in warmups, I thought about [the location] a little bit, but ... once it was game-time, there's no worrying about your leg. You gotta play full-speed."

McIntosh was beaten for a touchdown by tight end Dustin Keller, but strongside linebacker Marcus Washington has liked what he has seen from his weakside counterpart.

"They've been holding him back a little bit to make sure that he doesn't hurt himself, but when he's out there, he's Rocky," Washington said.
Coach Jim Zorn said he liked McIntosh's aggressiveness.
