Before Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers, Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather ran into receiver Aldrick Robinson, who was walking with his head down. Robinson was knocked unconscious.

Amazingly, Robinson has been cleared to play.

Even more amazingly, coach Mike Shanahan says Robinson could have played last Sunday, after coming to. (Or is it “coming too”? Or “coming two”?)

Shanahan says Robinson, who suffered a concussion, was cleared on Wednesday to return to practice.

The news isn’t as good for Meriweather, who already has been scratched due to an aggravation of the knee injury that had caused him to miss the first three games of the season.
