Washington fullback Mike Sellers said he ran some sprints on his injured knee and will "definitely" be ready for week one when the Redskins host the Dallas Cowboys.

Redskins Head Coach Mike Shanahan: QB Donovan McNabb (ankle) and Mike Sellers won't play vs NYJ.

Nothing livens up a preseason game like a fake punt, especially if it works.

Baltimore Ravens third-year safety Haruki Nakamura took a direct snap on fourth-and-6 and juked his way 51 yards - all the way to the 1 - in the second quarter to set up the only touchdown scored by either first-team offense in Saturday night's 23-3 win over the Washington Redskins.

The bit of trickery added entertainment value to a typical August game that lacked polish and gave both coaches plenty to work on before the regular season starts in three weeks.

The Redskins had two starters leave the game with knee problems. Fullback Mike Sellers hurt his left knee while blocking on a running play, and free safety Kareem Moore sprained his right knee trying to catch up to Nakamura on the fake punt play.

Moore's injury appears to be the most severe, and he'll have an MRI on Sunday. Sellers also said his knee was sore, but that he would be "all right."

Meanwhile, Donovan McNabb emerged from the locker room after halftime with a large wrap around his lower left leg and ankle. By then, he was already finished for the night.

McNabb said he was "just a little sore" and that he expected to play next week against the New York Jets .

Left tackle Trent Williams, the No. 4 overall draft pick, left with a bruised elbow but said he was fine.

McNabb had an erratic night for the Redskins (1-1), completing 11 of 26 passes for 206 yards and a bad-decision interception thrown deep into double coverage. He frequently threw behind receivers and was often pressured and hit by a blitzing Ravens defense.

Larry Johnson got the start at running back and showed nothing to indicate he has any chance of overtaking Clinton Portis for the job. Johnson gained only 4 yards on eight carries, missed a blitz pickup that resulted in an intentional grounding call on McNabb, bobbled a pass at least a half-dozen times before dropping it, and lost the ball after tripping over his own man on a running play - it wasn't called a fumble because he was ruled down by contact.

The Ravens' first-team defense was solid for the most part, except when it allowed three big third-down conversions on the game's opening drive. Cornerback Fabian Washington, playing his first game since tearing a ligament in his left knee last season, ended the drive by breaking up a pass at the goal line, forcing the Redskins to settle for a field goal.

Joe Flacco went 9 for 16 passes for 72 yards for the Ravens (2-0).

Ray Rice ran for 17 yards, but dropped the ball on two of his three carries - one of the fumbles was technically credited to Flacco, and the Ravens recovered both.

Two other promising drives were stopped by mistakes: a false start on left tackle Michael Oher, and a fumble by Donte' Stallworth.
