"Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan expects to use either second-year pro Anthony Armstrong or rookie Niles Paul at the starting wide receiver spot previously occupied by Santana Moss, who is expected to miss five to seven weeks after breaking his left hand.
Moss had "three pins put in his index finger in that area" during surgery Monday, according to Shanahan.
Paul and Armstrong alternated at the 'X' position that Moss plays on the outside. Paul caught the two passes that came his way for 25 yards, and Armstrong, who was targeted four times, recorded one catch for nine yards.
"Both guys deserve a chance to show what they can do, I like the way they played, and we're going to play the best players," Shanahan said."
