Redskins | Brennan to be placed on IR Sat Sep 5, 11:58 AM
Gary Fitzgerald and Larry Weisman, of Redskins.com, report the Washington Redskins plan to place QB Colt Brennan (hamstring) on Injured Reserve.
| Our view: The Redskins still have to decide whether or not to keep rookie QB Chase Daniel, who was battling with Brennan for the third QB spot. Brennan had been struggling earlier in the preseason, but bounced back with a strong performance in the finale against Jacksonville. He's been bothered by his hamstring during training camp, and injured it again in the 4th quarter against the Jags, and did not return to the game. |

Redskins | Brennan injured Thursday Fri Sep 4, 12:48 AM
The Associated Press reports Washington Redskins QB Colt Brennan (hamstring) was 10-for-14 for 83 yards during the team's final preseason game Thursday, Sept. 3, but he was forced to leave early due to a hamstring injury.
| Our view: The injury could put Brennan's roster spot in jeopardy, as Chase Daniel has surprisingly played well enough to merit consideration as the Redskins #3 QB. |

Redskins | Brennan catching Zorn's eye in camp Sun Aug 9, 09:06 PM
Eric Edholm, from Pro Football Weekly, reports the preseason will be a proving ground for third-string QB Colt Brennan, who has a chance to move up the pecking order at some point if he can prove to be consistent and controlled when he gets what is expected to be a good amount of action in the exhibition season. Already head coach Jim Zorn has noticed the difference between Brennan's rookie season and this year. "I think Colt has come a long way," Zorn said. "I think the way I get on him, he probably doesn't feel like he's come a long way, but I'm pushing him and he has come a long way."
| Our view: There are some who have speculated that Brennan could take the starting job away from Jason Campbell before the regular season, but that is a little far fetched at this time. Brennan could beat out Todd Collins for the second-string job and if he continues to impress the Redskins may feel that Brennan is their QB of the future. The 2010 QB class looks like it will be very impressive and the Redskins may be tempted to select a rookie QB next year unless Brennan blows them away. |

Redskins | Brennan believes he can start in the NFL Mon Jul 6, 07:05 PM
Jake Luce, of Redskins.com, reports Washington Redskins QB Colt Brennan said he believes he can be a starting quarterback in the NFL and a good preseason will help him get closer to that role. 'I think if I can have another good preseason, it will put me in the driver's seat for people to continue to recognize me as a starting quarterback in the NFL one day,' Brennan said.
| Our view: Brennan has crucial physical limitations like lack of size and arm strength, but if he's put at the helm of a west coast offense, he could be passable. It doesn't look like Jason Campbell is going to be a Redskin in 2010, so Brennan is poised to be part of a QB competition unless the team makes a big splash via a trade or free agency. |

Redskins | Collins, Brennan competing for No. 2 job Thu Jun 11, 12:07 PM
Matt Mosley, of ESPN.com, reports Washington Redskins QB Todd Collins and QB Colt Brennan are competing for the team's primary backup quarterback job.
| Our view: Collins is the 11-year veteran, and Brennan is the 2nd year QB from Hawaii. Brennan was a record setting QB in college, but looked unimpressive in his final bowl game against Georgia, fell ill during the Senior Bowl which caused him to lose 20 pounds, and thus slipped all the way to the 6th round in the 2008 NFL Draft. He looked good in the preseason last year and the Redskins feel like he's ready to compete for the backup job because Collins can't play forever. |
