The trade in which the Redskins acquired Taylor had been the biggest of the preseason until the Green Bay Packers traded Brett Favre to the Jets for a conditional draft pick. Favre can have the spotlight, Taylor said.
"I wish he would have did it earlier. It would have been an easier offseason for me," Taylor said. "Yeah, Brett's all the talk and all the hype right now, and that's fine. I can just go back to work and do what I do."
Taylor said it would be strange to see Favre in a different uniform, but his goal is still to get the quarterback.
"It'll be a lot different for both of us," he said. "I'm in the 'Skins now; he's in the Jets. Not that we played a lot against each other before, but it'll be different to see him out there.
"With all the hoopla and the media stuff going on around the game, at the end of the day, when they kick it off, it's still football. He's got to throw it before I get there."
Randle El Nurses Leg, Wrist
Wide receiver Antwaan Randle El (hamstring) sat out practice again and could be a game-time decision against the Jets, Zorn said. Randle El had his left wrist wrapped because someone stepped on it Saturday, Zorn said. "He's just trying to keep the swelling out," Zorn said. "That's a multitask ice pack." . . .
Cornerback Carlos Rogers has continued to progress in rehab from reconstructive knee surgery and could play this week, Zorn said. "I'd still like to wait, but I'm not ruling him out," he said. "I'll know more [today] because we're going to work on our list and just talk those things through. It may be just a pregame deal again where he gets ready and we shut him down." The team may opt to rest Rogers because of the patchy surface at the Meadowlands. . . .
Offensive line coach Joe Bugel remains with his family and his daughter, Holly, who is battling cancer. Owner Daniel Snyder arranged for Bugel to take his private plane to Phoenix after Saturday's victory over Buffalo. Bugel's daughter has a rare, aggressive form of bone cancer.
Quick Hits
Cornerback Shawn Springs, who sat out Tuesday because of a sore Achilles' tendon, fully participated in practice. . . . Free safety LaRon Landry (hamstring) sat out again and is not expected to play against the Jets. Landry also missed the team's first two preseason games because of his lingering injury. Rookie Kareem Moore worked with the first-team defense in place of Landry. . . .
Wide receivers Anthony Mix (ribs) and Malcolm Kelly (knee), linebacker H.B. Blades (knee) and offensive lineman Todd Wade (ankle) and Stephon Heyer (knee) have not returned to practice and are expected to miss Saturday's game.
