LANDOVER — Redskins rookie Fabian Moreau sat out months with a torn pectoral he suffered at UCLA’s pro day in March. Even after he was drafted, Moreau didn’t start practicing until Aug. 13. So when he finally got his first taste of NFL action Saturday in the Redskins’ 21-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers, Moreau came in with a thud.
Moreau streaked down the sideline on the first punt of the game, laying into Packers return man Trevor Davis at Green Bay’s 16-yard line and forced a muffed catch. Niles Paul recovered and suddenly, the Redskins were in the red zone nearly two minutes into the first quarter.
