"Brian Orakpo was frustrated. Strength exercises at halftime and all, he and the Washington Redskins training staff couldn't figure out a way to get him back in the game.

He suffered a left pectoral muscle injury late in the first half of the Redskins' season-ending 34-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, and he couldn't come to grips with his inability to return.

"I was just very disappointed I couldn't finish this game," Orakpo said. "Normally when I get banged-up or whatever, I'm always the guy that can shake it off and get back in there. But this time, it just wasn't able to happen."

Orakpo fell awkwardly on his left side when sacking Michael Vick and causing a fumble late in the second quarter. He wasn't sure of the extent of the injury and said an MRI was scheduled for Monday."
