Santana Moss among Redskins inactives for second straight week

For the second consecutive week, Washington Redskins 14th-year wide receiver Santana Moss was made inactive by Redskins Coach Jay Gruden despite being healthy.

Moss, 35, has been one of quarterback Robert Griffin III’s more reliable targets the past two seasons, but because he has no role on special teams, he’s having trouble getting in the lineup. As he did for the season opener against Houston, Gruden chose to dress five wide receivers for Sunday’s home opener against Jacksonville (0-1): DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon, Andre Roberts, Aldrick Robinson and rookie Ryan Grant.

In addition to Moss, the inactives are: Quarterback Colt McCoy, Cornerback Tracy Porter, linebacker Akeem Jordan, guard Spencer Long, defensive lineman Kedric Golston and tight end Jordan Reed.
